These are my build notes for the Nonlinearcircuits Statues Module.
Its in eurorack format.
The name comes from the children's game Musical Statues also known as Red Light Green Light.
This is a 1 to 8 multiplexor/multiplexer….with a thru and hold circuit attached to each output.
The active output is chosen by whichever combination of the x00, 0x0 & 00x inputs is high.
The multiplexer IC can be either a DG408 or DG508 (DIP package)
You can put any signal into these, crossing 1V will send it high. In the demo video, I used the /2, /4 & /8 outputs from a Divide & Conquer which gives it a regular 1-8 count.
Using any old signals will give a more random effect but patterns will still emerge.
IN is the signal getting processed. This module can be used to process CV and/or audio signals.
-----------------------------------
Which multiplexer to use? the DG408 or DG508?....
The DG stands for Double-Gate .... its a CMOS chip..... ie there are 2 gates in the one device.
"Multigate transistors are one of the several strategies being developed by CMOS semiconductor manufacturers to create ever-smaller microprocessors and memory cells, colloquially referred to as extending Moore's law."
The DG408 is an 8 channel single-ended analog multiplexer designed to connect one of eight inputs to a common output as determined by a 3-bit binary address.
