Description
Logic gates were originally used for the implementation of Boolean
functions in computation and in electronic devices. These functions were
performed on one or more binary inputs to create a single
binary output.
In music synthesis, this concept can be appropriated for many things
including the creation of interesting rhythmic patterns as well as patch-
based problem solving.
eãs is the be all and end all of logic modules. Sporting all of the classic
logic gate functions, it includes AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, XNOR,
and NOT.
Everything from syncopated rhythmic structures, to CMOS-style ring
modulation, to creative solutions to your patch’s most glaring issues, eãs
is there.
Logic, after all, is the beginning of wisdom, not the end of it.
Features
• AND & NAND gate logic
• OR & NOR gate logic
• XOR & XNOR gate logic
• NOT gate logic

Installation
1. Confirm that the Eurorack synthesizer system is powered off.
2. Locate 4 HP of space in your Eurorack synthesizer case.
3. Connect the 10 pin side of the IDC power cable to the 2x5 pin
header on the back of the module, confirming that the red stripe on
the power cable is connected to -12V.
4. Connect the 16 pin side of the IDC power cable to the 2x8 pin
header on your Eurorack power supply, confirming that the red
stripe on the power cable is connected to -12V.
5. Mount the Instruō eãs in your Eurorack synthesizer case.
6. Power your Eurorack synthesizer system on.
Note:
This module has reverse polarity protection.
Inverted installation of the power cable will not damage the module.

Gate Logic
AND & NAND Gate Logic: In AND gate logic, voltage is held HIGH
at the output if all the inputs to the AND gate are held HIGH. If none or
not all inputs to the AND gate are HIGH, the output will be held LOW.
NAND gate logic is the inverse of AND gate logic.
• If the signal present at AND Input 1 and AND Input 2 are both held
HIGH, voltage will pass to the AND Output.
• The signal present at AND Input 1 normals to AND Input 2,
meaning that if there isn’t a cable connected to AND Input 2, the
AND gate will still function.
• An inverted copy of the AND gate is present at the NAND Output.
OR & NOR Gate Logic: In OR gate logic, voltage is held HIGH at the
output if one or both of the inputs to the OR gate are held HIGH. If
neither input is HIGH, the output will be held LOW. NOR gate logic is
the inverse of OR gate logic.
• If the signal present at either OR Input 1 or OR Input 2 is held
HIGH, voltage will pass to the OR Output.
• If using the OR gate only, a signal must be present at OR Input 1 for
OR Input 2 to function.
• An inverted copy of the OR gate is present at the NOR Output.
• The NAND Output normals to OR Input 1.
XOR and XNOR Gate Logic:
In XOR gate logic, voltage is held HIGH at the output if one, and only
one, of the inputs is held HIGH. If both inputs are held LOW or both are
held HIGH, the output will be held LOW. XNOR gate logic is the inverse
of XOR gate logic.
7
• If the signal is exclusively held HIGH at either XOR Input 1 or XOR
Input 2, but not both, voltage will pass to the XOR Output and
XNOR Output.
• An inverted copy of the XOR gate is present at the XNOR Output.
• The NOR Output normals to XOR Input 2.
NOT Gate Logic:
In NOT gate logic, voltage is held HIGH at the output if LOW voltage is
present at the input. Similarly, voltage is held LOW at the output if HIGH
voltage is present at the input.
• NOT gate logic is a way to invert gate and trigger signals.
• The XOR Output normals to the NOT Input.
