Xodes SS14 – 3U Smart (Bidirectional) 1 To 4 Switch

Description

Smart 1 to 4 Sequential Switch

SS14 is a bidirectional Sequential Switch to which we added some special features.

Even though there’s no obvious way to control it at first sight, the sequence length can be set from 1 to 4 steps. The greatest of the O/I jacks used simply sets the length of the sequence.

A toggle switch on the front panel sets whether SS14 works in loop or random mode.

In loop mode, with only O/I1 used, SS14 will open/close the connection to the common I/O, following the level on the Clock input. As soon as O/I2 or up is used, SS14 will work as a traditional sequential switch.

In random mode, with only O/I1 used, the connection to the common I/O will be randomized at each rising edge on the Clock input. As soon as O/I2 or up is used, SS14 will randomly select an O/I jack within the range set by the upper limit.

The Reset input is asynchronous, and in both modes, it will force O/I1 to be selected.

On the back of the unit is a triple shunt that is used to normalize the O/Is (1>2 / 2>3 / 3>4) which can be useful when clocking SS14 with a steady clock instead of a sequenced trigger or gate.
