1U modules wishlist

1U Gx! It should be able to fit the form factor of the cvx pretty easily. Perhaps this could be as simple as an alternate firmware for the cvx

Edit: looks like the cvx already has lights in it, don’t know what I was saying there

I was just looking at the Switched Mult 1U, which I never really saw a need for in my system… BUT - it got me thinking of a variation that would…
A 5 into 2 signal router/adder.
Replace the last switch on the right with a jack. Now you have two outputs - the top jack is X. The bottom jack is Y.
Put buffers in the first 5 jacks - this way you could mix two or more signals.
This would allow you to route/mix 5 incoming signals to either X or Y, useful for these function examples…

  • add two CVs together into X, and two other CVs and a gate into Y
  • switch five different VCO outputs into two different filters on X or Y

  • Quantizer (scales wud be great)
  • A CV to midi module that could integrate with the midi to CV 1u modules and case (how does this not exist yet!? :D)

There has been much discussion on the concept of a Scales in 1u. It’s not currently possible in the same way that Steppy 1U is, just because the size doesn’t quite fit, and someone would have to completely redesign the circuit for it to even be a possibility

It won’t be buffered but you can attach an X/Y 1U module on the back of the modules to get the pair of jacks you are looking for.

A 1u mixup wud be cool!
It’d be really cool if there were jumpers on the back to turn the stereo inputs into dual mono (sharing a single volume knob)
This would give you the option of up to 6mono tracks which would be cool

I’m drooling.

A 2HP version of USB Power 1U with USB-C would be awesome to power external controllers etc.

One thing to keep in mind is that usb-c usually tries to deliver more power, so that could either eat up lots of power on the +5v rail, or introduce noise and cause other modules to go all wacky

An ADSR or dual AD/AR envelope generator, CV-able or with EOR/EOC outputs - preferably in 12hp or less :slight_smile:

Another thing I would love is a passive switch, a la the Doepfer A-182-2. A single switch in 6HP if you want things spaced out, or 4HP if you don’t mind close quarters.

The two new 1U mods look excellent! Very excited to get a few 1U Att mods in the mix. Hope everyone has had a great summer!

This would be very easy/quick to make. What are some applications you use this for typically?

Two uses would be 1) simple signal mute, and 2) switching between two different voices, or two different outputs of the same voice (pre- and post-filter, for example, or HPF/LPF outputs). I was looking for a smaller alternative to the Ritual Electronics Pointeuse, because I only have 8HP I can free up, and I personally don’t think I’d use the trig in (and I dislike PCB panels, but I digress). In retrospect, a 3-way toggle probably isn’t the best interface for the second application. A 2-way toggle would be better, but it’s still not as good as a button that activates upon release.

It. would be fresh to have a 1U panel with either buttons (like steppy) or switches (like the switch mult)… but that controlled a bunch of the Boolean functions in metropolix… so basically anything that can be toggled on or off (with mod lanes etc) can somehow be assigned… and it needs to communicate over some ‘underground’ bus to keeps Metropolix’s outputs free (I wouldn’t want to give up even one!).

I’d love that functionality with something like my Quadrax or Planar2 as well

1U Clock Divider

I would love an efficient way to both mult, and pass v/oct, clock/reset around my case (and even better between cases). These are often the first things I patch.

What I have in mind is basically a combination of a buffered mult and an octalink, specifically tailored for simultaneous handling of v/oct and clock/reset.

Ideally, the module would have 3 cv inputs, and six cv outputs. Each input would be normaled to a set of cascading buffered mults, so it could be used as:

  • 3x 1:2 mult
  • 1x 1:2 mult + 1x 1:4 mult
  • 1x 1:4 mult + 1x 1:2 mult
  • 1x 1:6 mult

Each module would have input and output ribbon connectors on the back, so multiple modules could be daisy chained, inside the case (neat and tidy).

So, if I had two models in my case, left and right sides, I could patch v/oct in to input 1, clock into input 2, reset into input 3 on the left side. I’d get 2 copies of each on the left, and another two of each on the right.

Bonus points if there’s a way to use the usb or din connectors to link between cases.

What would I give for an USB Midi Host 1U in use with the MIDI 1U. (…the lovely palette case would be mine in seconds.)
