Mixwitch
Voltage & clock-controlled analog switch with mixer
Introduction
Focused versatility seems an oxymoron when describing the features that led us to design the
Mixwitch. With only a pinch of mixing, inverting and controlled switching, we brew up a plethora
of combinations and uses. This is voltage processing magic!

Features at a glance

Dual 2 to 1 mixers, normalized into 4 to 1
o Click-less mute per mixer
o Click-less polarity inversion per input with LED
indication
o Modulation vs. audio mode selection (lin/log) per
mixer, with change of potentiometer curve response
and LED indication.
o Two LEDs on each output showing the amplitude and
polarity of the output signal
o Unconnected inputs present a fixed voltage to ease
offset creation
o Full range DC-coupled analog signal path
Switch /Selector

    Simple granular synthesis The initial setup is the same as the complex sub-octaves generator hereabove and requires a VCO whose various waveforms are simultaneously available. Klavis Mixwitch user manual V1.0 Page 5 of 7...
  • Page 6 This works in combination with some rhythm pattern generator. Using a single VCA and envelope generator allows creating a set of 4 different sounding drums. The selector is put in clocked random mode and fed with the gate/trigg signal that comes with each step. Klavis Mixwitch user manual V1.0 Page 6 of 7...
