Broken Tape-Machine Simulator

Nødsignal is a true stereo broken tape-machine simulator in a 6HP Eurorack module. As such this module is capable of doing vibrato, chorus as well as ring mod(ish) sounds with the right modulation. Input on channel one (left) as well as CV for the same channel is normalled to channel two (to the right). This means you can get a stereo signal out from just a mono input if you prefer, and you can modulate both channels with just a single cv input. The invert switch inverts the incoming CV signal on channel one before it reaches channel two, creating the opposite of what is modulating channel 1, while the dry/wet switch removes the dry input when pushed down.

Traditionally chorus is done with the dry signal present and with faster modulation, whereas vibrato is done without the dry input and with slower modulation. You can experiment with this, even doing fast cv on one channel and slow on the other. The Station switch presents two different kinds of tape saturation, most notable with the wet signal present. The second mode is an envelope follower of sorts which is shown by the white LEDs tracking the signal. The tune knob, with no CV present at the inputs acts as a tuner of sorts, skipping the tape around when turned. With a CV signal at the input it works as a attenuator for both CV inputs. At maximum setting (full CV) it also acts as a soft bypass for the wet signal.
