uFrames (Planks) / Mutable Frames 8hp variant / Sylph Modular

The heart of Frames is a 4-channel digitally controlled analog VCA.

Through flexible input/output mixing and normalling options, it can be patched to serve the following purposes (among others):

* 4-channel attenuator/VCA.

* 4-channel mixer.

* 4-channel programmable CV source.

* Quadraphonic panner.

But what makes it truly unique is the way in which channel levels can be controlled, using a technique inspired by computer animation. Frames allows up to 64 configurations of the 4 level knobs to be stored and recalled throughout the course of its big "Frame" knob. By rotating the knob (or sending a CV to the Frame modulation input), the configurations are morphed into one another.

To fine-tune the animation and get varied morphing or sequencing results, the following options are available for each of the 4 channel:

* Easing curve (stepped, linear, exponential, logarithmic, sine, bouncy)

* Attenuation response of the level knob, from linear to logarithmic

With a bit of patching and imagination, Frames can also be re-purposed as a 4-channel sequencer, a multi-stage envelope generator, a trajectory generator for quadraphonic panning...

I/O:

* 4x DC-coupled signal inputs

* 4x Attenuated signal outputs

* Global signal input normalled to all inputs

* Mix output

* Frame control CV input

* Frame change trigger output

Controls:

* 4x Channel level control with LEDs for visualizing levels

* Frame control with RGB LED backlight

* Frame CV attenuverter

* Keyframe creation/suppression buttons

8 hp wide, 25 mm depth
