Triple Comparator v6

This new version (v6) has a 8HP black panel and a large pin patchbay for easy patching.
The CV inputs are normalled to the next channels, so you can control all three channels with one CV input patched, or each channel separately with all channels patched.

Features:
3x Bias potmeter
3x CV jack normalised downwards
patchbay with 2×3 inputs, 2×6 outputs, 3x HIGH, 3x GND

The module is designed to accept Eurorack CV voltages. (+10 volt envelopes and -5v +5v LFO signals)
Negative voltages will be clipped and the input voltage is scaled to 0 to 2.5v.

Specifications:
Power usage: powered by the 3TrinsRGB1-c
Reverse polarity protection
8HP Black panel, red knobs
Depth: 25mm
Signals: Video and CV

Note: the Bias potmeters have a wide range. Set the knobs to the middle position and make small adjustments from that point..

TFG

The Function Generator is a very useful module to have in a video setup.
You can adjust the “Lights” , “Mids” and “Darks” in the input signal.
Effectively it works a bit like an equalizer, but you can also go negative. This will get you solarised effects.
This Triple edition can be used as a coloriser.

Features:
3x channels with Lighs, Mids, Darks potmeter control
3x Switch for range offset
3x inputs
3x Outputs
Normalisation option

Specifications:
Current draw: +12v: 36 mA, -12v: 74 mA, +5v: 0 mA
Suitable for HD: yes
Reverse polarity protection
14HP Black panel, grey / black knobs
Depth: 23mm
Signals: Video and Audio (optimised for 0-1v LZX format video)

Current version: v5 2025

XFADE

XFADE: RGB Crossfade module with interesting routings

This module has three crossfade VCAs that can be controlled by one source to achieve RGB fades and wipes.
The VCAs can also be controlled separately as three single crossfaders (fade between 2 sources) and
as three single VCAs (fade between a source and no source, a black image)

The XFADE has 1x crossfade potmeter, 1x switch to change the normalisations.
2×3 input jacks, 3x CV jacks and 3x output jacks.
This way you can crossfade between two sets of full RGB signals with one knob or one CV source.

Other settings let you use the potmeter for crossfading separate channels while controlling one or
more channels with CV sources and disabling the potmeter alltogether, to prevent accidental touching.

The CV voltage range can be set from 0-1volt up to 0-5volt with a trimpot on the backside.

Features:
2x three channel inputs
3x CV inputs
3x output jacks
1x Switch
1x Potmeter

Specifications:
Current draw: +12v : 30mA, -12v : 30mA, +5v: 0mA
Suitable for HD: yes
Reverse polarity protection
8HP panel, white / black knobs
Depth: 23mm
Signals: Video & CV

Scaler

The Scaler is a 4HP quad voltage scaler designed for use with video modular systems.
The input jacks on Scaler are normalised for easy patching and there are four different build options that are possible with the parts included in the kit.

The four build configurations are:

A) +1v to +5v
B) +1v to +-5v
C) +-5v to +1v
D) +-5v to +-1v

Option A: is for use with modules that have a positive only input (0 to +5v)

If you want to use audio modules as video effects, you can use 2 x Scaler modules: Option B to boost the video voltage up to audio level, and Option C to scale it back down again.

Option C: use this to control your video modules with (audio Eurorack) LFOs , VCOs and other modules that have a +-5v output.

Option D: some video modules can handle +-1v modulation

Specs: 
Current draw: +12v: 11mA, -12v: 11mA, +5v: 0mA
4HP Black panel, grey / black knobs
Depth: 39mm
Reverse polarity protection

Signals: Video (optimised for 0-1v LZX format video)

Simulations:
With the Fallstad circuit simulator

+1v to +5v
+1v to +-5v
+-5v to +1v
+-5v to +-1v

Credits:
This voltage Scaler is based on the LZX Cadet C5
It adds minor mods and has a reduced depth.
I recalculated all optional builds and added simulations.

Matrix Mixer

The Matrix Mixer is a module for adding color control, feedback routings and advanced mixing to your video system.
It has 3 summing inputs and 1 inverting input. These are all individually routable to the 3 outputs. This allows for RGB color mixing with one extra subtraction channel. The gain levels per channel are adjustable via the pinheader on the back. This way you can use the mixer as a softkeyer with 3x gain, or as a normal mixer with 1x gain.

Features:
12 potmeters (3 potmeters for each input channel)
4x inputs (3x non-inverted, 1x inverted)
3x outputs
amplification header on the backside for 1x or 3x Gain

Specifications:
Current draw: +12v: 25 mA, -12v:25 mA, +5v: 0 mA
Suitable for HD: yes
Reverse polarity protection
14HP Red panel, grey / black knobs
Depth: 25mm
Signals: Video and Audio (optimised for 0-1v LZX format video)

JOG

JOG is a (video) voltage source with a multiturn Bourns potmeter for precise adjustments.
Finetune your VCO / modulation source / FM inputs etc.

Features:
10 turn potmeter to adjust the output voltage (VAR jack)
4 static voltages
1 variable voltage, switchable from -1v to +1v → 0v to +1v

The range can be adjusted to +5v -5v for audio CV modulation.

Specifications:
Current draw: +12v: 5mA, -12v: 2mA, +5v: 0mA
Reverse polarity protection
8HP black panel, light grey / black knobs
Depth: 24mm
Signals: CV

CMIX

The CMIX is a 6 channel mixer for LZX format video signals.
It is used for mixing several sources into complex patterns and shapes.

The normal channels add signals together, the inverted channels subtract signals.
The 2nd output allows for (example) a feedback routing option to add complexity and detail.

Features:
3x normal channels , each with a jack input + potmeter
3x inverted channels , each with a jack input + potmeter
2x outputs

Specifications:
Current draw: +12v:20mA, -12v: 20mA , +5v: 0mA
Suitable for HD: yes
Reverse polarity protection
8HP Black panel, grey / black knobs
Depth = 23mm
Signals: Video and Audio (optimised for 0-1v LZX format video)

Current version: v3 2025
