Demux
A CV-selectable signal demultiplexer — the mirror of Mux. It takes one input and sends it to one of several outputs, chosen by a knob or a control voltage. Use it to steer a signal down different paths: send a melody to one voice or another, gate which effect a sound passes through, or scatter a sequence across destinations.
How it works
The Select knob (or the SEL input when patched) picks which output is "live." The input passes straight through to that output; every other output sits at 0 V. When SEL is patched it overrides the knob: the output index is floor(sel) (e.g. 0 V→1, 1 V→2, …), clamped to the number of ways.
Controls
- Ways — how many outputs are exposed,
2–8. Cables on removed outputs
are pruned.
- Select — which output is active (
1–N). Its range follows the Ways count.
Inputs & outputs
- IN — the signal to route.
- SEL — selection CV; overrides the Select knob when patched.
- 1 … N — the outputs; the selected one carries IN, the rest rest at
0 V.
Tips
- Patch an LFO or sequencer into SEL to sweep or step the signal across
outputs automatically.
- Feed each output into a different effect, then mix them — an instant
"which-effect" selector.
