Some technical and general questions :
- 4ATT/MIX : when switching to the "Mix" mode, does it ADD the mix output to the individual ones or does it REPLACE it ?
- 4ATT/MIX, 4I/O, 2SIGNALAMP : is there any audio data available (frequency range, s/n ratio, dynamic, etc.) ?
- RACKLINK : when will it be available for sale ?
- MULTIFX : when will it be available for sale ?

4ATT/MIX
inA-inD always present on outA-D (regardless of mix switch)
when an the individual mix switch is on, then the input is summed with all other inputs that also have mix on.
so its a sum of all inputs that have mix on
I really like 4ATT, so much in one module
I even considered getting 4ATT/MIX to replace the 4-4 mixer and possible the 2ATT too, but I haven't so far since:
4-4 MIXER, has a second non-attenuated mix (B)
2ATT, has inverted outputs.... though perhaps, you could use LOGIC for this.

4ATT/MIX: The switch ADDS the individual channel to the mix output (not the mix output to the individual ones); the individual attenuated output remains unchanged.
AUdio data like frequency range, s/n ratio, dynamic for modules: I did no measurements in this direction as I consider them not as very necessary in the context of the AE modular concept. This is not high-end audio gear but an instrument with its individual character. Generally, these modules are based on usual and simple OpAmp circuits, 4I/O is even passive, so they are as good as circuits in this range are usually.
RACKLINK: This modulae will be available in approx. 1-2 weeks.
MULTIFX: In some days a first small batch of PCBs will arrive and I will produce them by hand-soldering; so let's say 2-3 weeks until availability in the shop.

Thanks Robert. The racklink will be welcome as I already outgrown my 2row system  |

Stupid question : is it risky to use a 12v power supply instead of 9v ?

Stupid question : is it risky to use a 12v power supply instead of 9v ? I can't answer this with any authority, but having lost all my Eurorack modules due to supplying too much power with a misconfigured power supply, I can only warn you - don't do it. |

is it risky to use a 12v power supply instead of 9v ? yes, Id say its risky. generally, you can use a power adapter with more amps (as it only pulls what is needed) , but polarity and voltage are important. I dont know if actually anything will blow up, but id fear it will... (my primary fear would be the digital chips, like the atmega in the master module, or whatever is in the multifx, but really it'll all depend on the tolerance on the ICs used) if your trying to power from a eurorack, I wonder if its possible to come straight off the 5v rail? if this would work... then you would not need a master module in the eurorack adapter, just a 'special cable', that said, you'd loose the other (midi) bus signals, you'll also loose CV, but you could replace that with a 4IO, which is only 1 unit. (which I have in there anyway) , so potentially id save 2 slot in my AE adapter. my eurorack power supply has loads of power available on 5v, so thats not an issue for me. thoughts robertlanger ? |

I've got a question: if I want to send audio signals to my mixer, should I use the HPAMP module or can I also just use the 4I/O module? When I still had my eurorack stuff, I always went straight from the modular into my mixer with those doepfer adapter cables. I heard some people saying that sending hot signals to a mixer isn't the best idea but so far, I never had any issues with that. (using a Soundcraft EPM12) Thanks for helping me out  |

(using a Soundcraft EPM12) Thanks for helping me out The HPAMP is specifically for headphones, but probably works well with a mixer too. I use the 4I/O, which does stereo output on TRS jacks too. You can also use the audio outputs on the Master Module. Hot Eurorack signals aren’t a problem if the mixer has enough headroom. My R16 doesn’t like those though and will simply clip, which is obviously unwanted. |

I have another question, do you think the 4ATT/Mix is more useful to begin with than the 2ATT/CV? I just asked Robert if he could replace the 2ATT/CV with the 4ATT/Mix on my pre-configured 2 row rack but now I saw, that the Att/CV Module has also inverted outputs... I am planing to add the MultiFX and the sequencer soon, so I thought I might need more attenuators (especially for the modulation inputs of the FX module) and also I don't really know, how I should use the CV sources from the Att/CV Module.

I think the 4ATT/MIX is a good choice then. The 4ATT/MIX also has 5V outputs, which you can patch into its attenutator for constant CV. The only thing you're missing are the inverted outputs. |

I quite like using a 4ATT/mix in place of the mixer 4-4 , I think the 2ATT/CV is pretty useful for the inv option, e.g. to invert envelopes but for sure, you can never have another attenuators (Ive got a 2ATT, a 4ATT, and another 4ATT on order ) |
