This is the PCB set for DivKid Mutes, a 4HP Eurorack performance utility for muting and routing signals in a modular system. Mutes was DivKid's first module, developed with Befaco, and was released as assembled units, DIY kits and PCB/panel combinations. It suits builders who want to assemble the module themselves.
-
Vactrol-based muting: switching has a gentle decay on both audio and modulation and mutes without clicks
-
Three-position switches: momentary pass-through to the left (springs back to centre), muted in the centre, latched on to the right
-
Buffered, cascaded inputs: inputs are normalled down the module, so groups of signals can be split to several destinations
-
LED indication of the signals passing through
- Compact 4HP width
Mutes can mute a mixer channel, module inputs or outputs, modulation, sequencers or gate sources, and the cascaded inputs make it useful for dub-style effects sends and flexible routing. Because vactrols do not pass exact voltages accurately, DivKid advises against using it for quantised pitch CV or anywhere a precise voltage matters.
