Conjured Circuits CLOAK+DAGGER User manual

1
Cloak & Dagger is a fully analog filter and distortion module in 12HP for the Eurorack
modular system. Based closely on the classic and coveted ARP 2600 "post-lawsuit" 4-pole
lowpass filter (Submodule 4072), some modifications are introduced including an output
buffer stage to compensate for the loss of low frequencies at higher resonance
("resonance compensation"), temperature compensated 1v/oct tracking, and two additional
attenuverting CV inputs for controlling the cutoff frequency.
Two independent drive circuits are also on board which can be set to drive the input ("pre-
filter"), drive the entire output ("post-filter"), both, or fully bypassed. There's an initial drive
level control as well as a drive level CV input with attenuator.
Cloak & Dagger requires 43mA of +12VDC and 47mA of -12VDC regulated voltage.

A - Frequency
Cutoff Frequency Control
B - Resonance
Self-oscillation occurs at about 80% of the course of this potentiometer.
C - Drive
Initial drive level. Setting this potentiometer to 0% results in no output while either drive is
engaged, however at this level it interacts with Drive CV as a VCA. Unity gain occurs at about
15% of the course of this potentiometer.
D - Drive CV
To be added)

Cutoff frequency attenuverters.
v/Oct Input
Tracks 1v/oct through approximately 5 octaves from 20Hz to 500Hz +/-.

A - Pre-Filter Drive Switch
Engaging switch activates pre-filter drive. Input only is driven, adding additional harmonics
before going through the filter, with a clean filter output. Initial drive level is set by Drive
potentiometer. Drive amount is voltage controllable via Drive CV in and attenuator.
B - Post-Filter Drive Switch
Engaging switch activates post-filter drive. Filter output is routed through the drive circuit. Initial
drive level is set by Drive potentiometer. Drive amount is voltage controllable via Drive CV in and
attenuator.
C - Mode LED
LED color corresponds to currently engaged drive(s):
Green LED = Pre-Filter Drive engaged.
Red LED = Post Filter Drive engaged.
Orange LED = Both pre-filter and post-filter drives engaged.
(LED brightness reacts to Drive CV)
