Describe MicrodecModular here. === MICrODEC ===

==== Modularizing ====

The MICrODEC is a very flexible sound modulating platform. It can act as a VCO, VCA, VCF, or any sort of strange contraption you can think of. This makes it particularly handy for modular synthesizers, with the added benefit that it won't drift with temperature! Below are some modifications that can be made to the MICrODEC to incorporate it into a modular platform.

===== Input Attenuation =====

This will allow the MICrODEC to accept the higher voltages common with modular synthesizers. The schematic also shows how to split the single stereo jack into 2 jacks, one for left and right, so seperate signals can be processed. NOTE: some of the stock functions do not use the right channel.


===== CV input to MOD1 =====

This is a quick hack to allow the MOD1 knob to be controlled by an external CV. It has the benefit of still using the MOD1 knob to control the gain of the signal you are inserting. The only drawback is that the DC level is also reduced as you turn down the gain. An op-amp circuit would be required to decouple gain and offset. The schematic is for +/-10V signals. Different resistor values would be required for different signal levels.
