Déjà vu: Flexible Fader Control for Audio & CV│Bastl Instruments

video upload by Bastl Instruments

"Bastl Déjà vu is a Swiss knife for your Eurorack System that adds fader control to your modular system for many scenarios. It stands out as a simple yet powerful utility module that can do crossfading, mixing, signal boosting, voltage processing, attenuation or attenuversion. All that in 4HP and with the possibility to chain several of them to mix even more signals."



Powerful Voltage Utility module for voltage processing, attenuation, signal boosting, crossfading, and mixing

Déjà vu adds fader control to your modular system and it stands out as a simple yet powerful utility module that can do voltage processing, mixing, attenuation, attenuversion, signal boosting, crossfading and mixing.

All that in 4HP and with the possibility of chaining several units to mix even more signals.

SWISS KNIFE FOR YOUR RACK

Déjà vu has two almost identical channels A and B. Each channel has the FADER input and the ADD input and an output with light indication. The FADER MODE switch alters the behavior of the module, either attentuating or attenuverting the FADER input where the ADD input will be added to the processed FADER input. The last option is crossfading between the FADER Input and the ADD input which is great for creating performance oriented macro controls.

If the FADER input is not used the fader will act as a voltage source that can either stand on its own or it can offset the ADD input.

The FADER GAIN switch can boost signal processed by the fader and contains low noise pre-amp boosting up to 10x suitable for converting line level input to eurorack level.

If output of channel A is not plugged it will be mixed into channel B output turning it into a 4 channel mixer if all the inputs are used.

Déjà vu is suitable for both CV and Audio processing.

Déjà vu is especially useful for expanding the functionality of Bastl Neo Trinity with more directly accessed controls.
