Pokey — Passive CV Performance Switch & Router (6HP) Pokey is a passive Eurorack module designed for expressive switching, routing, and mixing of two signals — whether audio or CV. At its core, Pokey is a hands-on performance tool: • Smooth manual crossfading between two inputs • Voltage-controlled switching and blending via CV or trigger • Works equally well with audio and control signals Because it’s fully passive, it requires no power and integrates easily into any system. What You Can Do With It • 🎛 Manual performance mixing — Blend two oscillators, textures, or modulation sources by hand. • ⚡ CV-controlled switching — Animate transitions using envelopes, LFOs, or triggers. • 🥁 Lo-fi “Lopez gate” style drum shaping — Use triggers to rhythmically open audio sources for percussive effects. • 🔀 Creative signal routing — Build evolving audio paths or modulation networks in compact systems. Specs • Width: 6HP • Passive design (no power required) • Skiff-friendly depth • Audio & CV compatible Pokey is simple in concept but powerful in practice — perfect for small performance systems and modular setups where space and immediacy matter.
