This is a 8HP slider version of Mutable Instrument Frames / uFrames / Plancks. Powerful 4channel mixer, morphing controller, CV switch/blender for audio & CV. Capable to save 20 keyframes, each keyframe storing VCA CVs for each channel.
The heart of Frames is a 4-channel VCA and mixer under tight digital control.
Through flexible input/output mixing and normalling options, it can be patched to serve the following purposes (among others):
4-channel attenuator/VCA.
4-channel mixer.
4-channel programmable CV source.
Quadraphonic signal dispatcher.
But what makes Frames truly unique is the way in which channel gains/CV levels can be controlled, using a technique inspired by computer animation.
By rotating this Frames knob (or sending a CV to the Frame modulation input and adjusting its amount with the attenuverter), the configurations are morphed into one another. With a bit of patching and imagination, Frames can also be repurposed as a 4-channel sequencer, a multi-stage envelope generator or a trajectory generator for quadraphonic panning... more info on Mutable Instruments site.
