It operates in one of two modes, SUB and CROSS.<\/p>\n<p>In the SUB mode a single input is fed into the A IN jack. A four-bit binary counter is clocked with the input signal. This generates the lower four sub-octaves. These are then mixed by individual pots along with the input signal. A switch selects either the original source mixed in or a squared version of the input.<\/p>\n<p>In the CROSS mode both A and B input signals are required. Each is divided into their respective sub-octaves and then each corresponding sub-octave is digitally ring modulated with the other. If A IN is audio, but B IN is from a LFO, you hear a 16-cycle pattern of the sub-octaves getting multiplexed in. As the B IN signal is raised into audio frequencies, the results are huge chordal timbres with lively beat frequencies.<\/p>\n<p>The Tellun <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tellun.com\/motm\/diy\/db120\/DB-120.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DB-120R daughterboard<\/a> adds these features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Switchable AC\/DC coupling for the outputs<\/li>\n<li>A +\/- 5V pulse output for each sub-octave<\/li>\n<li>Weighted sum output STAIR for staircase wave generation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/pugix.com\/synth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DB-120_User_Guide.pdf\">DB-120_User_Guide<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/pugix.com\/synth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/DB-120_Schematics.pdf\">DB-120_Schematics<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"MOTM 120R Back\" href=\"http:\/\/pugix.com\/synth\/motm-120r-sub-octave-multiplexer\/motm-120r-back\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-34\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pugix.com\/synth\/wp-content\/uploads\/motm-120r-back.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"MOTM 120R Back\" vspace=\"5\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"MOTM 120R Side\" href=\"http:\/\/pugix.com\/synth\/motm-120r-sub-octave-multiplexer\/motm-120r-side\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-35\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pugix.com\/synth\/wp-content\/uploads\/motm-120r-side.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"MOTM 120R Side\" vspace=\"5\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Synthtech website: The MOTM-120 is based on an article in Electronotes, updated with improved and added features.
