Technical Details
In the box:
- Binary module
- Power cable (10-to-16 pin)
Dimensions:
- Width: 6hp (1.2” or 30mm)
- Depth: 30mm (with power cable installed)
- Height: 3U (5.06” or 128.5mm)
Power Requirements:
- Maximum of 30mA at +12V
- Protected against reverse polarity
Module Installation
To install the module in your Eurorack system, first ensure that power to the system is
turned off. Please take precautions against ESD (electrostatic discharge) to prevent
permanent damage to the module’s components. Connect the smaller 10-pin socket
of the power cable to the module, noting the “stripe” indicator on the PCB (which
should align with the red stripe on the cable). Then connect the 16-pin socket to your
power distribution board. Take note of the power cable’s orientation with regard to
the -12V supply of your power distribution board. The red stripe usually (but not
always) aligns with the bottom of the power connector. Binary is protected against
reverse polarity (which occurs when a power cable is connected upside down) but
other modules in your system may not be.
Getting Started
Operation of Binary is straightforward. Patch pulse sources to any of the six inputs and
toggle the on/off switch for each input as needed. Patch the output to a destination
that expects a +5V gate/trigger (such as the gate/trigger input of an envelope
generator) and select the logic gate required for the intended application. The switch
next to each input will illuminate when a signal is received. By enabling/disabling
inputs, a number of different pulse sources can be combined into a single pattern.
