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.
MOD in
IN
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.

  • Page 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. Signal output. When no patch cable is plugged into an output, the signal from this channel is routed to the next channel.
