Description
CCTV kits are made in Canada.
Video above demonstrates the original Mutable Instruments version of the open source Kinks. The CCTV clone is functionally identical.
Immutable Kinks is a clone of Mutable Instrumentsโ best-selling open source analog CV mangling module.ย
Kinks provides 3 different functions in a small 4-HP package with a 2-color output monitoring LED is available for each section:
SIGN
This section consists of a precision signal inverter, and half- and full- wave rectifiers (which respectively clips to 0V, and inverts the negative half of the signal).
They can help in creating new LFO shapes, add overtones to audio signals or even transform CV melodies.
LOGIC
An analogย ORย gate outputs the maximum of two signals: not only it can merge two streams of triggers/gates like its digital counterparts, but it can also hybridizes LFOs, envelopes or even audio signals โ creating the same type of inharmonic side-bands as ring-modulators.
The analogย ANDย gate outputs the minimum of the two signal. With it you can mute/un-mute a stream of triggers with another gate, or explore other shades of audio and CV mangling.
S&H
A no-nonsense implementation of a classic synthesizer circuit.
On each trigger received on the TRIG input, the output voltage takes the value of the input voltage and holds this voltage.
The signal inputย INย is normalized to a white noise generator โ to easily generate stepped random values.
The white noise signal is also available through theย NOISEย output jack.
