Product Description
(This module is included in the System B)
An analog style shift register is basically a device that can store a couple of CV values and present them at patch outputs. Each time the shift register is triggered/clocked the values are shifted 1 step (or a number of steps) across the patch points. A new value is sampled in, and the oldest value is thrown away. Well, that is very briefly.
The SB20 is a little more complicated than that. The 12 patch points at the lower area can be used as either outputs or inputs to the register. The 4 knobs at middle indicate the step size and direction in which the register is shifted when triggered using the Clock In or using the internal clock of the module. A Rate knob is provided for the internal clock. When Clock In is connected, the Rate acts as a clock divider.
Whats more is that you can stack multiple SB20 modules to form larger shift registers than the given 12. This is done with the help of the S815. As shown bellow:
And I’m afraid there is no way this can further be explained in text. This module has to really be tried to be understood.
