MUTABLE INSTRUMENTS FRAMES : USED

The heart of Frames is a 4-channel digitally controlled analog VCA. Through flexible input/output mixing and normalling options, it can be patched to serve the following purposes (among others):* 4-channel attenuator/VCA.* 4-channel mixer.* 4-channel programmable CV source.* Quadraphonic panner.But what makes it truly unique is the way in which channel levels can be controlled, using a technique inspired by computer animation. Frames allows up to 64 configurations of the 4 level knobs to be stored and recalled throughout the course of its big "Frame" knob. By rotating the knob (or sending a CV to the Frame modulation input), the configurations are morphed into one another.To fine-tune the animation and get varied morphing or sequencing results, the following options are available for each of the 4 channel:* Easing curve (stepped, linear, exponential, logarithmic, sine, bouncy)* Attenuation response of the level knob, from linear to logarithmicWith a bit of patching and imagination, Frames can also be repurposed as a 4-channel sequencer, a multi-stage envelope generator, a trajectory generator for quadraphonic panning...I/O:* 4x DC-coupled signal inputs* 4x Attenuated signal outputs* Global signal input normalled to all inputs* Mix output* Frame control CV input* Frame change trigger outputControls:* 4x Channel level control with LEDs for visualizing levels* Frame control with RGB LED backlight* Frame CV attenuverter* Keyframe creation/suppression buttonsTechnical characteristics:* CV inputs impedance: 100k.* Audio input impedance: 100k (25k for the global input in some configurations due to normalling).* Cortex-M3 ARM processor.* Open-source hardware and firmware.* Easy firmware updates through an audio interface. 90 mA +12V 30 mA -12V 20 mm Depth
