Bartola Instruments Keep It Quiet Eurorack CV Utility Module (Silver)

Keep it Quiet! (KIQ) is a “Swiss-army” utility designed for orchestrating your patch modulation, mixing jobs and routing the right signal levels (audio and CV) into your modules. This is not a “star” module on its own, it’s rather a quiet helper or a team player – like most utility modules. KIQ fills many gaps out there as manufacturers compromise on input attenuators and level controls to reduce footprint and costs.

How many times have you thought: “I wish this LFO CV signal would be quieter”, ” unfortunately this modulation signal is unipolar” or “I need to offset this signal”.

The module is 8HP and comprises of 4 independent precision signal conditioners made out of inverter switches and attenuators to provide wider control and granularity for performance. The outputs of these signal conditioner blocks are cascaded in a clever arrangement which allows you to create complex modulation outputs. It also has a mixer which is always running in the background with a soft-saturation output to ensure you don’t hard-clip your mixes.
