Mutable Instruments Branches User manual

Installation
Branches requires a -12V /
+12V power supply (2x5 pin
connector). The ribbon cable
connector must be aligned
so that the red stripe of the
ribbon cable (-12V) is on the
same side of the module’s
power header as the “Red
stripe” marking on the board.
The power consumption is:
+12V: 10 mA; -12V: 1 mA.
The trigger/gate signals
generated by Branches
have a +5V level.

Branches
Dual Bernoulli gate
Please refer to the online manual
for detailed information regarding
compliance with EMC directives

Branches consists of two
identical sections called
Bernoulli gates. An internal
connection routes the input of
section 1 to section 2 – unless
a jack is connected into the
input of section 2.
The Bernoulli gate
Upon receiving a trigger on
its IN input (1), the module
tosses a virtual coin: if the
outcome is heads, the trigger
is sent to output A (3); if the
outcome is tails, the trigger is
sent to output B (4).
The probability knob (A)
and the associated CV input
(2) change the odds of the
“heads” and “tails” outcomes.
A
B
12
3 4
In extreme settings, the out-
come is no longer random –
causing the module to behave
like a voltage-controlled
switch.
Toggle mode
In toggle mode, the module
associates the “heads” and
“tails” outcomes to a different
pair of decisions: “continue
sending the trigger to the
same output as before” and
“send the trigger to the oppo-
site output”.
Press the switch (B) to enable
or disable the toggle mode.
Latch mode
When the latch mode is
enabled, an output (3) or (4)
stays at +5V until the other
output gets activated.
Hold the switch (B) for more
than 1s to enable or disable
the latch mode.
Toggle and Latch settings are
kept in memory even if the
module is powered off.
