CAUSE AND EFFECT 1U - MULTI UTILITY

Voltage Reader, Sample & Hold and Gate Switch Cause & Effect is a 1u, 20hp utility tool for audio and cv consisting of three interconnected units. The first unit is a VOLTAGE READER, that outputs a gate signal according to a limit set with the help of the READ LIMIT potentiometer. If the limit set is reached by the incoming voltage, the R GATE output will be high. The limit may also be controlled via external control voltage at the LIMIT CV jack. This so-called comparator outputs a gate with an amplitude of +/-5V, which also makes it usable as a square wave generator with pulse with modulation via the READ LIMIT potentiometer. Any voltage applied to READ IN is normalised to HOLD IN and IN A. R GATE is normalised to H GATE and SW GATE. This way only one signal is necessary to control both other units. The second unit is called HOLD. In one mode it can sample and store a voltage from the HOLD IN jack and supply it at the HOLD OUT jack, if gate at H GATE is high. In another mode
