2 x M3 Mounting Screws 2 x Nylon Washers
Installation
Step 1: Power your system off. Place the module in your Eurorack-compatible
rack in any convenient position. Affix the module to your rails using the
included mounting screws and nylon washers. Neglecting to use these
washers may result in unnecessary marking of the unit.
Step 2: Triple check the polarity of the power connector before connecting
the power cord to your power supply. Ensure that the -12v line marked on the
back of the module connects to the same end of the flat-cable that also
connects to the -12v line on your power supply. While AvonSynth
modules use shrouded connectors that make this process safer and more
reliable, some systems do not conform to this polarity standard, so careful
checking is always necessary. Connecting the module with incorrect polarity
can result in irreversable damage done to the module which cannot be
covered by warranty.
Step 3: Power up your system and start patching!

and Panner
Description of Functionality
Page 2 of 3
When only input 1 has signal present
the cross-fader turns into a VC panner.
As the Fade knob is turned to the left
(or CV moves negative) input 1's signal
is louder in the left output and quieter
in the right output. As Fade is turned right
(or CV moves positive), input 1's signal is
quieter in the left output and louder in the right.
Controls the mix of the two inputs from
left (Input 1) to right (Input 2). The position
of this knob is then the starting point that
the CV input modulates from.
Negative CVs input here push the
cross-fader toward the left (input 1), and
positive CVs push the cross-fader toward
the right (input 2). The CV knob
attenuates the level of the CV input.
Fade Position Control
CV Input and Attenuator
Mix Output
Outputs a combination of input 1 and 2
the mix of which is dictated by the
position of the Fade knob and the
CV present at the CV input.
