Switch and VC clock generator

Switch is a four-input, four-output, voltage and gate controlled switching matrix.

The panel is in three sections: inputs, voltage-select output, and sequential outputs. Both output sections feature LEDs which indicate what input channel is currently routed to that output.

The voltage-select output section has a control input, signal output, and 4 indicator LEDs. The response is such:

0v-1v - No connection (0v output)
1v-2v - Channel one
2v-3v - Channel two
3v-4v - Channel three
4v-5v - Channel four

The sequential output has three outputs: two-stage, three-stage, and four-stage. All three outputs shift in tandem on rising edges presented to the v-trig input. There is a stage one input, when gates are presented to this input all outputs will reset and remain on channel one.

Switch also features a very useful bonus feature. There is a connector on the back for the STG Sync Bus (on Time Buffer Module). When connected to the sync bus, inputs one through four are normalized to 50 percent duty cycle rhythm clocks of 8th, 16th, 16th triplets, and 32nd notes. This function coupled with a voltage sequencer can be used to create a ratcheting sequence such as used in Tangerine Dream's Projekt Elektronik digital trigger sequencer on the title track of Stratosphere.

This allows you to use Switch as a voltage controlled clock generator while under sync bus control without any inputs connected except the control signal.
