Mińsk

A 6 HP hybrid stereo image processor working in mid/side. The stereo pair is turned into mid and side signals, given an optional dimension effect and a low cut on the side, sent out and returned for processing of their own, then turned back into left and right. The IMAGE knob and CV set the width of the stereo image, from mono to side only; POSITION trims the left/right balance; six LEDs in a goniometer layout show the image.
