USER MANUAL

Welcome to the user manual for Punch MG, a unique module with VCA-DECAY & Mute GROUP designed for Eurorack systems.
This module has been specially crafted to generate dynamic percussive sounds while also offering the capability to manage multiple signals simultaneously
through its innovative mute group feature.
Punch MG provides a versatile platform for crafting dynamic percussive sounds. With its mute group feature, it allows you to handle numerous signals
concurrently.
This manual will guide you through the various features and functions of Punch MG, enabling you to explore its full potential.
Key Features:
Dynamic Sound Generation: Punch MG is engineered to generate dynamic percussive sounds with finesse, offering a range of creative possibilities.
Mute Group Interaction and Signal Patterning: Utilize the mute group feature to enable interactions between signals that share the same group.
This feature enables signal muting and amplitude limitation when multiple signals are triggered simultaneously. The amplitude and decay time of each
signal are influenced by others in the same group. This characteristic can lead to captivating pattern variations when focusing on specific channels.
Expandable Capability: By linking two modules, you can expand the effect of the mute group to accommodate up to eight signals, fostering intricate
interactions and captivating sonic landscapes.
AM Sound Creation: Connect audio rate signals to the level input to explore the creation of AM (Amplitude Modulation) sounds, further extending the
sound design possibilities.
Envelope outs: Each envelope's polarity can be inverted using dedicated switches on the front panel, enabling you to achieve effects like side-chain
compression and ducking. Moreover, the mute group circuit's influence extends to the envelope signal output, providing intriguing modulation capabilities
that add a unique layer of creative expression to your sonic endeavors.
This manual is your guide to effectively utilizing the Punch MG module. It provides comprehensive information on the module's features, connections,
controls, and potential applications. Whether you're a seasoned Eurorack enthusiast or new to modular synthesis, this manual will assist you in harnessing
the power of Punch MG for your sonic explorations.
Please read through the following sections to gain a deeper understanding of the Punch MG module and its capabilities. Enjoy your journey into the world
of dynamic sound generation and creative signal manipulation.
INTRODUCTION:
INSTALLATION:
* Disconnect your synth from the power source.
* Double check polarity from the ribbon cable, unfortanetly if you damage
the module by powering in the wrong direction it will not be covered by
the warranty.
* After connecting the module check again you have connected the right
way, the red line should be on the -12V
