Happy Nerding 2x SAM<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mido-based gear designed by Peter Blasser typically centers audio signals at a +4.5 volt bias, which Peter refers to as “mido”, i.e. middle. And these signals are roughly 4 volts peak-to-peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have adapters or cables for patching between banana jacks and 3.5mm jacks, so long as you provide a common “ground” connection between the zero volt buses of the CL and Euro gear you can directly patch CL outputs into Eurorack. But you’ll need to mind the +4.5 volt offset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a Eurorack module from Happy Nerding<\/a>, the 2xSAM Dual Stereo Attenuator\/Mixer, that eases the conversion between the two signal standards. It has two stereo inputs that are AC-coupled, meaning you don’t have to worry about the bias offset. It also offers 5X gain. The incoming CL signal, swinging between +2.5 and +6.5 volts can be transformed to a +\/-5V standard signal with manual control over the gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only are there two of these stereo buffers, each has its own stereo output. And there is a stereo mix output of the two channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because it is AC-coupled, this module isn’t suitable for bringing in slow control voltages from CL gear. For that you will need to manage the offset within your Eurorack patch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
