Electrocution hazard! Bus board connection cable cable. Do not touch any electrical terminals when attaching any eurorack bus board cable. The make noise rxmx is an electronic music module requiring 35ma of +12vdc and 30 ma of -12vdc regulated voltages and a properly formatted distribution receptacl...

4 expansion the outputs of the make noise fxdf can be normalled to the 6 channels of the rxmxby using the included 10-pin chain connector cable and connected as indicated below. Alternatively, you could connect the dpo’s waveforms to the 6 channels of the rxmxby using the included 10-pin chain conne...

5 the rxmx is a vactrol-based 6-input, 3-output, macro-low pass gate and signal crossfader. The concept is based on grant richter’s circuit idea for applying “cadavre exquis” (a.K.A. Exquisite corpse, a technique of serial blind composition) to modular synthesis. When modulating the rxmx with a wogg...

6 perspe ctive the rxmx contains 100% analog filters and gain cells designed for musical applications and is notsuitable for laboratory use.The rxmx, being a vactrol-based circuit, will never have the speed or tight-tolerances found in many other vca and vcf circuits. I would recommend that musician...

Possible selections are 0 (no channel), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. 10. Channel select cv attenuator 1: bi-polar attenuator for channe...

9 getting started the rxmx contains 6 low pass gate circuits. The lpg is a specialized type of synthesizer circuit developed bydon buchla, where the amplitude of the signal is not only frequency dependent, but also under voltage control.It is in essence, a voltage-controlled filter and amplifier, a ...

10 because the radiate parameter turns on adjacent channels, it possible to achieve similar results using theradiate controls. With channel set full ccw and no channel modulation (nothing patch to ch selcv in 1 or 2) ch. 0 is selected. Although no physical ch. 0 exists in the rxmx, it is still a pos...
