Comparators

Six comparators to use with chaos modules, and four gate-to-trigger converters fed from outputs 3, 4, 5 and 6. Each input is normalled to the one below, so a signal at IN 1 goes into all six comparators. The SET knobs range from -5 V to +5 V, so a comparator can trigger on the negative-going part of a waveform; the outputs go from 0 to 5 V. Each comparator lights its number on the panel, an LED behind it.

Key features

• IN 1 to IN 6 in, each normalled to the next; GATE 1 to 6 out
• TR3 to TR6 trigger outputs, from gates 3 to 6
• Six SET knobs, -5 V to +5 V; each number lit by its LED
• 8 HP; Nonlinearcircuits publishes no current draw, depth or assembled price (it sells the DIY PCB and panel), and ModularGrid lists none
