(Or thank you for your manual reading tendencies if you don’t have the module yet!) Skip back to the annotated image on the previous page for a quick start on the module and read ahead for a more in-depth explanation of the features, functions and behaviours of Stereo Strip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis manual will outline the functions and controls of the module and will provide some patch examples to get you started.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’m proud to say that the Stereo Strip module is “powered by Befaco.” It was made in collaboration with them and wouldn’t exist without them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWHAT IS STEREO STRIP?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStereo Strip is a 6HP Eurorack module that builds upon the idea of a studio or mixer channel strip for a modular environment. If you’re new to the term ‘channel strip’ think of a single channel strip from a mixing desk. You’ll find amplification, EQ, panning and level control options. Stereo Strip builds on those ideas adding voltage control for increased functionality within the Eurorack modular synthesiser environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStereo Strip can function with mono or stereo inputs applying the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• 3 band EQ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• panning (manual and voltage controlled)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• VCA level control (manual or voltage controlled)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• 3 way performance muting (on-off-momentary)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Soft clipping limiter (distortion!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Line level input and\/or output adjustment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONTROLS \u0026amp; FEATURES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eINPUTS \u0026amp; OUTPUTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAUDIO INPUTS \/\/ Stereo Strip features two inputs for left and right audio signals. The left signal normalises to the right allowing the module to function as a mono input and stereo output module. The module can happily work with line level as well as standard Eurorack levels thanks to the switches on the front panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE \/\/ While designed with audio in mind, the Stereo Strip inputs will accept CV, allowing you to use the stereo VCA and panning to modulate the level and routing of your CV signals within a patch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCV INPUTS \/\/ There are 2 CV inputs for externally modulating the Stereo Strip. The top CV input controls the level of the stereo VCA. When you patch into this input the manual level knob turns into an attenuator for the incoming CV signals. The lower CV input is for the panning which has its own dedicated CV attenuator that determines how much of the external CV mixes into the manual pan control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOUTPUTS \/\/ The left and right outputs are clearly marked with red bananuts on the output sockets. These can be set to Eurorack or line levels with the output level switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE \/\/ As well as processing mono (on the left input) or stereo inputs you can use the module to process two independent mono signals. In that case both audio inputs would share the same control set, but it can be fun to patch left and right as two input streams and patch the left and right outputs as independent mono signal paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONTROLS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEQ \/\/ The 3 sliders set the EQ levels. These controls have a centre detent so you can easily place them in the middle with 0dB of EQ adjustment. Pushing the slider up adds level to that EQ band and lowering them from centre will reduce that EQ band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePAN \/\/ The centre white knob controls the manual panning of the signal. With a mono input it will pan the sound between the left and right outputs. With a stereo input it will adjust the balance of the left and right inputs relative to the outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePAN CV ATTENUATOR \/\/ This knob controls the depth of modulation over the pan. The pan CV is summed with the main pan control and the attenuator enables control over how much external modulation affects the panning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMUTE \/\/ This is a 3-position mute switch that is on when in the up position, off in the middle position and momentary on when held downwards. This allows for performable muting!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLEVEL \/\/ The bottom knob controls the VCA level. This affects both left and right inputs equally. With no CV present for LVL CV this is a manual control. When you patch into the LVL CV input this becomes an attenuator for the amount of external level modulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE \/\/ The level knob and the graphic around the level control allows for easy scaling of levels for a wide range of CV inputs. See notes on behaviour and levels below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eINPUT \u0026amp; OUTPUT LEVEL \/\/ These switches adjust the input levels to deal with Eurorack or line level (switch on the left) and adjust the output from Eurorack levels to line levels (switch on the right).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBEHAVIOUR \u0026amp; LEVELS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEQ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EQ is made up of a low shelf, mid bell curve and high shelf. Each band can cut or boost by ~12dB for drastic and musical shifts in tone while maintaining control for more subtle EQ shifts. The EQ curves vary depending on the level of reduction or boost and feature wide overlapping Q settings for broad adjustments in sound. See the graphic below for an approximate EQ curve, you can see how the EQ responses overlap and vary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEURORACK OR LINE LEVEL I\/O\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe circle graphics on the panel indicate what level you are set to. The lower larger circle indicates working in the larger voltage ranges and louder levels of the Eurorack domain (for the input or output) and the upper smaller circles indicate working with the lower voltage ranges and quieter levels of line level gear (external hardware, sound cards etc).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe input switch (left hand one) should be ‘down’ position if you want to use a Eurorack signal as the input and in the ‘up’ position if you want to input a line level signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe output switch (right hand one) should be in the ‘down’ position if you want to output Eurorack levels and in the ‘up’ position if you want to output a line level signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe addition of these switches allows you to use the Stereo Strip as a stereo external interface for soundcards, other hardware and instruments. With the bonus of being an external interface where you can EQ, modulate the level and panning of external signals. The output level selection allows for reducing levels for external gear that can’t handle Eurorack voltages ranges. As an output (like as an input) you gain the addition of the EQ, VCA and panning at your output stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLEVEL KNOB GRAPHICS TO AID GAIN STAGING\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Eurorack there’s no standard range for how much voltage a VCA should need to open a signal from fully closed to fully open. There’s also no standard for what voltage ranges envelopes should occupy and envelopes are the main thing used to control the level of your sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo what happens if the envelope you want to use peaks at 5V but your VCA needs 10V to open fully … Well best case you’ll have half of your level and it will be quieter (if the VCA is linear) or worse you’ll have a lot less than half of your level (if the VCA is exponential). If you had 10V envelopes but a VCA that needs 5V to open you may clip (nicely or nastily) your VCA or clip the envelope so the VCA just holds until the envelope goes back down below 5V again. Neither of these are ideal!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnvelopes across the Eurorack format peak at 3 different “standards” 5V, 8V and 10V. The dots on the circular graphic around the level knob show you where to set the level knob (under CV control, from an envelope) to maintain your unity signal levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VCA in Stereo Strip only needs 5V to open fully, so it can be used most easily, with less external utility modules. If your envelopes are 5V then patch that into the LVL CV and turn the level control up full, to the final dot (going clockwise around the knob). If your envelopes are 8V then turn the level control to the middle of the 3 dots (around 1 o clock on the graphic). Finally if your envelopes are 10V in level then turn the level knob to the first dot half way around the knobs turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNOTE \/\/ You can use a higher voltage envelope or modulation source and turn the knob higher to push into saturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBearing in mind that most of us just patch in and have fun, we wanted to add a simple graphic to show how you can make this work for the range of signals you may find in Eurorack for optimal level control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSOFT CLIPPING, LIMITING \u0026amp; OUTPUT PROTECTION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe output stage of the Stereo Strip features a soft clipping limiter. This is there to protect the output of the module and any gear it may connect to. This isn’t meant to be an effect at normal operating levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever you can push the levels to gain some soft clipping and limiting effects which you can abuse for creative and highly shapable distortions! You can also creatively abuse the line level input setting by switching to line level input (for a level boost) but patching in a Eurorack signal. You’ll then have a large gain boost on the way into the module which gives a musical distortion. You can then use the EQ to shape the distortion and modulate the level for a CV controlled saturation effect! When setting the module for distortion this way you can tame the output with the level switch if needed. A patch example for distortion use cases is below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAUDIO-RATE MODULATION \u0026amp; FREQUENCY LIMITING\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pan CV input is wide open for a huge range of subsonic, audio range and supersonic modulation signals. You can create some mind bending, ear tingling sounds like your head is inside a stereo ring modulator (best in headphones) with audio-rate tones or have fun with bringing supersonic signals down into the upper human hearing ranges for some aliasing style sound FX. The pan CV also responds to sequencing, random voltages and slower softly swaying modulation for auto-pan FX.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the pan CV response, the VCA level CV input is restricted in its frequency response in order to give a higher performance with the mute switch. As a result, you may notice that when modulated with an extreme audio-rate signal the overall level decreases. The point at which the level decreases has been fine tuned to allow for lower audio-rate or musical AM synthesis applications while optimising the performance of the mute switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE \/\/ As a side note (as this applies to any VCA and not just Stereo Strip) if you use an oscillator as an audio-rate modulator for a standard VCA you will be losing the effect of half of your modulation signal. This is because VCAs respond to positive modulation and not negative modulation. Meaning for standard audio signals (which are bipolar, going both positive and negative) it will half-wave rectify (simply cut off any negative voltage as it won’t respond to it) losing half the modulation signal. You can enable the input boost of the Stereo Strip to bring the level back up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this in mind, I recommend using the pan CV input for audiorate modulation. This allows you to balance your audio-rate modulations on the pan CV attenuator without limiting the frequency of modulation you can apply to the panning. Doing so in mono means you can explore a wider range of AM synthesis and pseudo ring modulation tones, while applying this technique in stereo means you can pan at audio-rates for wild, stereo patch techniques!
