Mutinator

Multi-channel switched trigger combiner The Mutinator is a "human interface module" and can best be described as a multi-channel switched trigger combiner. It features 4 parallel channels, each with two switched inputs and a single output. Within each channel the inputs are combined using analog OR logic and sent to the output, whose activity is indicated by an LED. The operation of the switches is ON-OFF-(ON). In the ON position the corresponding input's signal passes to the combiner. In the OFF setting, that input is muted. The (ON) setting is known as "momentary-on" — in this position the signal will pass to the output, but the switch is spring-loaded and will return to the OFF position as soon as you release the lever. This allows you to more easily "play" the switches in a performance situation. Unlike some other trigger-combiner designs, this module contains active circuitry. Incoming pulses are reduced in amplitude by the logic section but an output amplifier compensates for thi
