ALM-002 - ‘Beast’s Chalkboard’ Introduction ‘Beast’s Chalkboard’ is dual channel stepped voltage source and adder for your eurorack modular synthesizer system. It primarily is intended as a dual octave switcher for VCO’s but has many other uses including sequence transposition, FM ratio creation, buffered CV distribution and VCO calibration. Features • Dual channel fixed voltage adder and source with 1V stepped range of -2 to +2 volts (i.

If the CV source represents musical tone and the output is connected to the 1v/octave input of a VCO the switch will function as an octave switcher similar to that found on many popular analog synths. With the CV source connected to the top input and the bottom input left unpatched the input signal is normalized to the bottom section allowing the single input to be modified independently across both section of the Chalkboard.
