About Blinds

Blinds is a 4-channel voltage-controlled signal polarizer.

Each channel consists of a polarizer circuit, also known

as a four-quadrant multiplier. This circuit acts like a

VCA, except that a negative control voltage will cause the

output signal to be inverted, instead of being silenced.

Blinds’ outputs are daisy-chained, allowing adjacent

groups of 2, 3, or all 4 channels, to be mixed together.

Blinds

Quad VC-polarizer

Blinds requires a -12V / +12V power supply (2x5 pin connector).

The red stripe of the ribbon cable (-12V side) must be oriented

on the same side as the “Red stripe” marking on the board.

The module draws 70mA from the -12V rail and 70mA from the

+12V rail. Current consumption can reach 90mA on either rail

depending on the color and brightness of the LEDs.

Controls

A. Channel polarity and gain. At 12 o’clock, the channel

is muted. Turn clockwise to amplify, turn counter-clock-

wise to amplify and invert.

B. Modulation attenuverter. Adjusts the amount and

polarity of modulation from the modulation input (2), i.e.

how much, and in which direction, the channel polarity

and gain will wiggle around the central value set by A.

Inputs and Outputs

1. Signal input. Blinds’ inputs are DC-coupled and

accept both audio and CV signals. This input receives

+5V when no patch cable is inserted.

2. Modulation input. This input is also DC-coupled.

When audio-rate signals are present on both the signal

and modulation input, Blinds works as a ring-modulator.

3. Signal output. When no patch cable is plugged into an

output, the signal from this channel is routed to the next

channel. For example, when no patch cable is patched

into output 1, output 2 will contain the sum of channel 2

and channel 1. If nothing is patched into outputs 1, 2 and

3, then output 4 will contain the sum of all four chan-

nels.

4. Gain and polarity indicator. The color corresponds to

the polarity (green = positive, red = negative), the bright-

ness to the gain.

5. Output level and polarity indicator.
