"With Jumbler..., we jumble one or we jumble many."
Jumbler is a six by six channel analog signal combiner and distributor for the New Universal Synthesizer System or any Eurorack modular synthesizer. Jumble is one of the New Universal Synthesizer System concepts where the routings of a patch could be re-configured, or jumbled, instantly via voltage control to produce variations on a theme.
Jumbler gives you powerful two-parameter access to the rearrangement of both origins and destinations for up to six modular signals. One to six inputs are routed to one to six outputs, in an order determined by the Rotate control, and combination determined by the Radiate control. Unlike a simple switch module, Jumbler’s analog VCA-based design is specially geared for smooth transitions and hybrid signals.
Jumbler is a great module for hybrid control voltage mashing, complex waveform mixing, on-the-fly effects re-routing, gate and clock re-combinations and more. Some folks have said it is like patching a stack of 6 RxMx circuits.
Mix and Match up to six signals for up to six destinations Easy to use as a voltage controlled mixer or continuously crossfading switch Dynamically blend waveforms from a single or multiple oscillators Create hybrid rhythms with gate or clock sources Change up effects routings on the fly Create feedback and matrix-mixer patches All analog design featuring 36 VCAs You’ve done some patchin’... now it is time to try some jumblin’...

"Metaphors of ""buffers," "tape loops" etc. have often been used to describe the inner workings of modules, but the MultiMod might better be understood through the metaphor of orbiting planets."
"How would you go about replicating a sequence? When it comes to the modular signal path there are a number of intersection points to cut into. For example you could use the word “sequence” to refer to the final audio output of a synthesizer that is being sequenced. It could also mean the oscillator outputs prior to having filtering or effects applied. It could mean the series of stepped control voltage values that determine the oscillators’ pitches from moment to moment. That’s a beauty of the availability of signal flow to us in the modular synth, that we can cut in and disrupt at any of these points, all of which work together in concert to determine the ultimate output."

"A walkthrough of Make Noise’s newest Eurorack module, MultiMod, a multi-function modulation utility—with a few tricks up its sleeve.
This video contains a module overview, demo and patch tutorials. We’ll start with a panel tour of the MultiMod, and then dive into different patch examples that use MultiMod as a multi-LFO tool and a CV processor. I'll also share some "extended techniques" (ways of using MultiMod that extend beyond its intended use case), and demonstrate some ideas for using it to generate and process sound in unusual ways."

With MultiMod...from one control signal, we create many.
MultiMod represents a new approach to complex modulations: it takes a single control signal and copies it 8 times, additionally modifying those copies by weighted adjustment of their relative phase and speed. The result is a flock of related modulation signals, all derived from the same single input.
Phase sets the spacing of the signal copies in time, weighted by channel, with each progressive channel getting more out of phase from the original Signal and from each other. Spread allows for varispeeding the copies by different amounts, with each getting progressively faster or slower than the original Signal. Time determines the range of time captured at the input and therefore also the depth of modulation across copies of the input signal when Phase and Spread are manipulated. MultiMod also includes Tempo, Hold, and Reset features, and a variety of Read Shapes for temporal rearrangement of input signals.
When the input is not patched, MultiMod generates an LFO that is copied eight times and manipulated in the same ways.
MultiMod is built on a brand new DSP hardware developed for the New Universal Synthesizer System. It offers eight high resolution outputs, with signal input and output ranges approaching the upper limits of the analog eurorack modular system. All I/O is capable of a 20V range at +/-10V, greatly exceeding the typical 0-5V CV input ranges on typical digital modules.

"We received a number of requests for "glitchy" patches, which can mean any number of things! Here's one of the things it could mean.... plus, some thumps! Can you outsmart Reklaw as he tries to figure out why the thumps aren't knocking right?
Extended patch outtakes made from other Reels as follows:
"Since René's Z axis is a collection of States that can be sequenced or modulated through, it’s tempting to think of it as kind of a collection of sequences, something like a “song mode.” It can be used in that way, but let’s use it a different way today. We’re going to think of it as adding at least a third dimension (and maybe more?) to the two-dimensional sequencer."
