Ritual Electronics Aranea
AraneaĀ is more than your typical matrix mixer. It is set up as a 5Ć5 attenuverters matrix.
When a pot is at noon, no signal will pass. Absolutely none.
If you turn a knob to the right you will increase its volume with up to a gentle 1.2X amplification. If you turn a knob to the left you will increase the volume while inverting the phase. Useful for DC signals like LFO or envelopes, great in audio patches and specially for feedback work.
AraneaĀ has a main AC / DC switch. A single toggle will switch on or off output DC blocking capacitors for all channels.
When in AC mode, DC blocking will happen at the output. You can still use DC signals at the input to push the audio into the soft limiter built in all outputs.
Bonus trick : when in AC mode, plug the output of a channel back in an input, twist the corresponding knob and you get yourself an oscillator.
When in DC mode, no capacitors are present in the mixer path, allowing use with all kind of slow signals, LFOs, enveloppes, gates, and so on.
Extra outputs can be particularly handy. The exclusive ā/ā and ā\ā outputs are the diagonal outs (AI, BII, CIII, DIV, EV and AV, BIV, CIII, DII and EI).
- Width: 26HP
- Depth: 34mm
-
Power: 80mA @ +12V / 80mA @ -12V
