The ADDAC106 T-Networks is an 8HP straight forward 4 voice module with frequency and decay controls for each of the voices. As the name suggests there is an added noise source and 2 different circuits that explore the timbre of a t-network when used to filter noise. There are 2 different circuits in this module: voices 1 to 3 have a pre-vca t-network filter while in voice 4 the t-networks filter applied post-vca. At each voice input there’s a switch that sets which type of input to use; this signal will be used to control an internal VCA which is why the type of setting defined here is important: Trigger - Any incoming CV will be converted into a 1ms trigger as soon as it crosses its fixed threshold. Mute - This disconnects the incoming signal effectively muting the voice. Envelopes - This can be used with CV sources as well as Gate sources and simply follows the input signal. This incoming signal is then processed by a slew circuit which adds a decay factor allowing the user to set the “Tail” of each voice. Trigger mode is mostly dedicated for percussive sounds while the Envelope mode is open to any external envelope control and able to control noise swooshes, swirls, crackles and pops simply out of t-networks filtered noise. Trigger mode is mostly dedicated for percussive sounds while the Envelope mode is open to any external envelope control and able to control noise swooshes, swirls, crackles and pops simply out of t-networks filtered noise. Audio inputs also welcome use as a Trigger/Envelope input with very interesting results. Differences between voices: The first 3 voices also feature a Timbre selector switch: Hat/Snare. In Snare mode all frequencies coming from the t-networks filter pass through to the output. In Hat mode it adds a High Pass circuit which removes the mid/bottom frequencies (characteristic of the snare strike) creating a higher spectrum output which is closer to a Hat timbre. All of these 3 voices are also differently tuned from each other to offer more timbrical options. Voice 4 is closer to a typical t-networks circuit but this time a peculiar one where the noise is gated by the vca and then sent through the t-networks filter. Hat and Snare are terms used loosely here; they are timbrical references and do not in any way try to effectively replicate the complex timbres of a real world Hat or Snare.
