Page 3: Overview
DISENTANGLER is a 4hp mid-side encoder/decoder and stereo width processor. At its simplest, DISENTANGLER is a compact solution for adjusting the width of a stereo signal - from a mono sum up to "double wide” (side content amplified) with the switch set to 2X. -

5V: 0 mA Installation Connect the power ribbon header to DISENTANGLER with the -12V red stripe facing to the right side if you are looking at the back of the module, as pictured. The other end of the cable should be... -

Page 6: Controls
Controls SIDE IN SCALE Sets the nominal amplification level of the SIDE IN signal. When switched to 1X, the SIDE IN will have a maximum of unity gain (no amplification) when the SIDE IN ATTENUATOR slider is all the way up. When patching a stereo signal through the module via the IN L/R and OUT L/R jacks, this setting allows the slider to be used to adjust the perceived stereo width of the signal to be adjusted from its original, full width all the way down to a mono sum. - Page 7 MID OUT “Mid” signal encoded by the mid-side encoder from the IN L and IN R signals. SIDE OUT “Side” signal encoded by the mid-side encoder from the IN L and IN R signals. MID IN “Mid” input signal for the mid-side decoder. DC-Coupled. Receives signal from MID OUT via normalling if nothing is patched into this jack.

Page 8: Theory Of Operation
Theory of Operation DISENTANGLER is a mid-side encoder and decoder, with the MID and SIDE decoder inputs normalled to the MID and SIDE encoder outputs and additional manual controls to scale the SIDE input level. As a result, it can easily be used to adjust the perceived width of a stereo signal. -
Page 9: Mid-Side Encoder
Mid-Side Encoder First, the “encoder” section takes the signals coming into the IN L and IN R jacks and “encodes” them into separate mid and side signals on the MID OUT and SIDE OUT jacks according to the following formulas: MID OUT = (IN L + IN R) / 2 SIDE OUT = (IN L - IN R) / 2 This produces an “average”... -
Page 10: Side In Attenuation / Width Adjust
“narrow” and increasing it will make it sound “wider”. To facilitate this, DISENTANGLER features manual control over the SIDE IN signal level, including the option to boost the SIDE IN signal with up to 2X gain. - Page 11 If the side signal is fully attenuated (SIDE IN ATTENUATOR all the way down), the expansion becomes: OUTL = MID IN + (SIDE IN * 0) = MID IN = (IN L + IN R) / 2 OUTR = MID IN - (SIDE IN * 0) = MID IN = (IN L + IN R) / 2 And thus both signals of the stereo output are equal to the averaged sum of the stereo...

Page 12: External Patching
External Patching Aside from the “default” method of using the module to adjust the stereo width of an audio signal, mid-side encoding and decoding (and the scaling controls) can be used for all sorts of other creative patching, since the mid-side outputs can be patched out to other modules for processing and brought back into the mid-side inputs to be decoded. - Page 13 Finally, all of the inputs on DISENTANGLER are DC-coupled as well, meaning you can use those super fun math formulas above to do manipulations of CV signals too, which doesn’t intuitively fit within the concept of “stereo image” but nonetheless can yield some fun results.

Page 14: Patch Ideas
DISENTANGLER makes this easy: After patching your stereo chain into IN L/R and out of OUT L/R, patch the MID OUT signal through a VCA and back into MID IN. -
Page 15: Side-Image Filtering
Side-Image Filtering We all love filters, but so many of them are mono! Make a pseudo-stereo, out-of-phase filter effect out of a mono filter by patching a stereo voice or submix into IN L/R, then patch SIDE OUT into a filter and back into SIDE IN. Add resonance and modulation to taste and listen to the OUT L/R outputs for a head-spinning out-of-phase filter effect. -
Page 16: Cv Math / Cv Macro Controller
CV Math / CV Macro Controller You can use DISENTANGLER to create mathematically related CV signals from one or more LFO or other modulation source. For example, patch two CV sources into IN L and IN R, respectively. MID OUT and SIDE OUT can now be used as mathematically related CV... - Page 17 User Manual Changelog Version Date Description 1.0.0 2024-10-01 Initial Release 1.1.0 2024-11-02 Update module specifications for Rev3 For troubleshooting and support, please contact support@infrasonicaudio.com...
