  • Clock divider

    A clock divider, also known as a frequency divider, is a module that takes an incoming signal at a certain frequency and generates a lower, divided output...

  • Clock Generator

    A device capable of generating regular, rhythmic pulses, triggers, and/or gates. Used to control the timing of events like setting the tempo of a...

  • Comparator

    A module or circuit that compares an input signal to a set threshold and outputs a signal based on whether the input is above or below that threshold....

  • Compressor

    A compressor is a device or module that reduces the dynamic range of an audio signal by attenuating its louder parts and optionally boosting its quieter...

  • Control voltage

    Control Voltage, or CV, is like the secret sauce of modular synthesis. It's the electrical signal used to control parameters like pitch, volume, and...
