DIY Links (White Magpie)

This is a DIY version of the Mutable Instruments Links — a simple, yet valuable utility module.

Features

Three essential functions

• The 1:3 section is a buffered multiple, allowing a note CV to be distributed to up to 3 VCOs without voltage drop.
• The 2:2 section is a 2-input summer with unity gains (also known as a precision adder). The sum of the two input channels is distributed to 2 outputs.
• The 3:1 section is a 3-input mixer, with a gain of 1/3 per channel (also known as an averager). It is particularly suitable for rapidly mixing audio sources such as oscillators, for which a unity gain mixer would have caused clipping.

Each channel has a bicolor LED.

Specifications

• Width: 4hp
• Depth: 25mm
• +12V Current: 15mA
• -12V Current: 15mA
• Input impedance: 1M for the buffered multiple, 100k for the mixers.
• Buffered multiple with low offset error.
• 0.1% resistors, allowing the 2:2 section to work as a precision adder.
• All inputs DC-coupled.
• Audio-rate signals accepted.
