VST developer Minimal Instruments has announced new Eurorack modules.
The first modular is the MSI-001 Signal Processor – a utility module, designed to be at the center of your modular synth setup.
The MSI-001 Eurorack Utility module features:
- 5 Attenuators for both audio and control voltages
- 2 switched output attenuators for either audio or control voltages
- 3 4-way multiples for combining audio or control voltage signals
- 10 Euro to Banana system (Serge, Buchla etc) signal convertors so that multiple formats can be combined.
Note: The module is currently in prototype form. Pricing and availability are to be announced.
I hope they’ll also do an AU version.
Interesting – I don’t see a common ground for the banana plugs, so I wonder how that will work. They don’t list HP but this looks quite big for a utility module. From the looks of it I could fit 2 X uATT (which would give 6 attenuators), 2 X uFade (2 faders with CV), a Format Jumbler (4X banana to Euro and 4X Euro to 1/4″) and probably a couple of Intellijel mults (4X4 way mults, buff’d or not) in the same space…
Or something like this could be a fun first DIY project for a the more adventurous modular user.
Yes, since the module is fully passive, I’d rather have it outside the rack than consuming HPs. Diy attenuators and mults are a fun way to recycle pillboxes or old toys.
