UNDERSTANDING AND CARING FOR YOUR ANIMAL

TANNHÂUSER GATES EURORACK MODULE
Congratulations!
You are now a proud human to a Tannhâuser Gates Eurorack
Module.
Part performance stereo mixer, part quad VCA, AFA brings
you our first stereo offering with the Tannhäuser Gates.
Additionally, this module is our first step towards building an
Animal Factory end-of-chain ecosystem.
PAN: Crossfade bvetween the
1
left and right output for each
channel on the mix out.
EQ: CW rotation enhances
2
6
higher frequencies, CCW
rotation enhances lower
7
frequencies.
8
GAIN: Control the input volume
3
of the channel. Turn up the gain
to overdrive the channel.
EXP
14
OFFSET: Sets the minimum
12 4
gain of each VCA channel. It will
reach the maximum gain quite
15
fast, but this is necessary for
use with negative-going CV
13
signals (e.g. for ducking).

INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

CV IN: Control signal to amplify
9
audio signal.
AUDIO IN: This is the audio
10
input for each VCA. Please note
that all audio inputs are AC
coupled and will NOT process
CV signals!
AUDIO OUT: VCA output. Note
11
that connecting a cable to this
output will NOT remove the
channel from the mix out. All
outputs are available at all
times. Further, engaging the
channel MUTE will mute this
output!
USER MANUAL

CONTROLS

MASTER VOLUME: Control the
6
final volume level of the MIX
outputs.
RETURN VOLUME: Control the
7
volume of the return channels.
MUTES: Mute control for each
8
channel. When a channel is
muted, the LED above the
corresponding button will glow
white.
SCALE: Attenuvert the
5
incoming CV signal. The knob
will light up white for positive
signals and blue for negative
ones.
MASTER CV: This input can
12
trigger all four channels simulta-
neously. If no cable is connected
to the individual channel CV INs,
they are normalized to this input.
Patching a channel breaks this
normalization.
MASTER LEFT/RIGHT: Mixed
13
output signal for left & right
channels.
SEND LEFT/RIGHT: Mix send
14
signal for left & right channels
RETURN LEFT/RIGHT: Return
15
channels for left & right.
