VoltageProcessor

A eurorack module that outputs the sum and difference of two inputs, you can also add a constant DC offset to the summing output.

Motivation

The Beatstep Pro's pitch output cannot go lower than 2V, the VCO I'm using has a range of approximately 0-5V, so I had a way to subtract the 2V off of the pitch output. This module does just that, I intend to just use 1 CV input and a constant DC offset at -2V to achieve an output of 0V with a 2V input.
You could also use it as a small 2 -> 1 mixer.

Notes

This is my second KiCad project in a long time so the routing is not the best :)
Measured the current consumption at 1mA @ +12V and 7mA @ -12V

rev 0.2 -> 0.3 patches

  • DC Offset potmeter range is now +-10 instead of the rail-rail voltage.

rev 0.1 -> 0.2 patches

  • Flip eurorack power connector around y-axis, I currently use a flipped power cable as a workaround.
  • Switch U1B and U1B terminals by adding jumper wire and cutting trace.
  • J4 and J5 output should be on pin 3 instead of pin 2. fix by adding jumper wire.

Todo

  • All of the rev 0.1 patches
  • Fix jack hole should be 6mm instead of 5.3mm.
  • DC Offset potmeter compensate for opamp rail-rail offset which is around 1.3v
  • Add polarity symbol in C5 and C6.
  • Switch RV1 and RV2 twisting direction.
  • Think about more ergonomic potmeter position.
  • Front panel
  • Produce and test rev 0.1
