Introducing ADDAC206 Switching Sequencer

[Paranormal Patroler]

we need to figure out if that Whimsical Raps dude has fixed that issue then, because Just Friends only scares me now

If I remember correctly the issue was that JF output a -12V at its Run input when a jack was inserted. I remember getting weirded out that Metropolis got fried by a -12V, it should be able to handle it. But yeah, don't want to derail the thread, I don't see how this is related to being able to switch to audio rate, there's nothing to worry about.

I mean, if a module with a CV input gets fried because you plugged an audio rate signal into it ... well, I'd throw it to the face of the manufacturer, demand my money back and shame him/her on the forum. I'm not joking, it would be laughable. That being said the JF issue is another can of worms entirely.

it was just a spontaneous tangent sorry, i dont have any modular friends so i just blurt stuff out occasionally i was just wondering why have a switch if it really doesnt matter, whats the purpose?



have a good night

Probably has to do with the 206 serving better switch usage by knowing if it's handling an audio rate signal or not. Clickless audio switch maybe?!?

Nope, I wish.

I think it changes between DC coupled and AC coupled output. Hence it not passing a mod signal while in ac mode.

i think the switch is set before you decide what kind of signals youre going to be "switching"

they use it in this video, but im still not sure what it means



maybe you can watch it and then share your thoughts back here

DC/AC Switch determines whether the incoming signals have DC-offset.

[0netwo0netwo]

well im not knowledgeable on what that means

does DC offset mean it makes the incoming signal straight??

Hi,
I'm not familiar with the module in question but in general AC (Alternating Current) coupling removes any DC (Direct Current) offset. DC coupling . . . I think just passes along the input as received without affecting it? Someone will correct me if I'm wrong on that!

There are times when it's preferable to use AC coupling, typically when mixing audio signals, because if the DC offset is too much + or - the peaks or valleys of the wave forms will start to clip/distort.



DC coupling it typically used for modulation, gate and steady intentional offset voltages. Sometimes you'll want to use DC coupling to maintain the offset on an AC signal, like a slow sine wave used to modulate the frequency of an audio oscillator etc.

[0netwo0netwo]

its confusing me because AC signal im thinking "alternating" and DC im thinking "direct"

and so im not sure if its the same AC/DC signals vs AC/DC inputs

but im starting to feel like it means (based on your illustration there)

"inputs"

DC - lets the signal directly as it is above or below zero

and

AC - brings em all to the same starting point

"signals"

DC - like channel's 2 + 3 from MATHS with nothing patched in (static voltage)

AC - alternating like a crazy bipolar LFO

Just ordered one! Thanks to all of you for your information in this and some other threads. Helpt me a lot to choose a switch!

Hi there,

Nice looking module.

I am interested in using this as an chord to arpeggiator.

Is there anyway to get this to skip an input if for example i am playing a 4 note chord (ie all 4 inputs +ve) and then a 3 note chord (3 of them)?

I can see you have a skip option on the each channel BUT i would like it to somehow skip automatically inputs with no signal.

Make any sense? :-)

Thanks in advance - russell

[Paranormal Patroler]

Not sure what you mean. But you can use CV control to skip, or you can use the per channel switch and have it never address a channel. Does that answer your question?
