MUM Performable VCA + Gain Utility

Blood Cells Audio MUM

Make-Up and Manipulate with MUM from Blood Cells Audio, a compact voltage processor and variable-gain preamp module designed for a wide range of applications for any modular system. MUM combines a preamp, clipping circuit, VCA, and clickless momentary pulse button into a highly useful 4HP package, great as anything from a dedicated high-impedance input stage to a flexible voltage processor for CV. A knob for gain control spans up to either +10 or +40 dB depending on the state of the switch below. This gives you a wide range of additional gain for any signal, which can be selectively clipped and saturated with the Clip switch.

CV signals are fair-game as well, with a simple AC and DC coupling switch allowing you to switch between signal types with ease. In the middle section, a performable and clickless pulse button lets you either momentarily pass or mute the signal depending on the state of the switch beside it, with a dedicated Pulse output for sending this signal to other destinations in your system. Finally, a CV input and level control allow for standard use as a VCA, or even as a voltage controlled clipper. If you need a versatile preamp and VCA circuit in a compact package, trust that MUM knows best.
