KeyBuss

KeyBuss is a combination Eurorack module and dual plug-in boards for the KeyStep Pro. It uses 2 HDMI cables to connect to the module and offers easy access to every socket on the panel as well as all the clocking options (In and out). KeyBuss is fully buffered with very accurate and beefy opamps, and includes a 1:3 midi multiple for distributing signals within the system.

KeyBuss Features:

Comprehensive Signal Access: All CV, trigger, and gate signals, along with a selectable MIDI output, are accessible through the module. This includes clock options that typically require splitter cables.


Buffered Signals: All signals are buffered with precise, high-drive outputs, enabling the use of long HDMI cables (tested up to 5 meters).

Reliable Performance: Each HDMI connection is doubled ensuring solid performance, even with ultra-thin HDMI cables.

Compatibility: Fully compatible with 5V, 12V-trigger, and S-trigger gate formats. V/Oct, V/Hz, and modulation channels are buffered with output compensation for driving multiple modules.
