Logic Matrix

CEREBELLUM is a matrix for sequential Boolean logic operations. It can craft complex polyrhythms, arrange generative structures that evolve over the course of a piece of music, and even produce gnarly timbres when combining audio rate signals.

The module accepts inputs on three rows, which may be operated upon by signals from four columns before output. An operation is active when a latching 15mm LED switch is engaged at each node, which displays the new signal. A second switch allows a choice of AND or XOR operands.

To extend the module’s functionality, each column provides a clock divider and static +5V “on” and NOT invert switches. The dividers alternate between a binary counter /x^2 (2 through 128) and a decade counter /x (integers 2 through 8) paired with a LATCH flip-flop.

A single signal at IN ALL addresses all columns, which have outputs after their division and invert operations. All dividers receive individual resets and RST ALL. Columns 1, 2, and 3 are normalled to rows A, B, and C respectively, allowing the creation of seven interrelated signals from one input.

Width: 30 hp

Depth: 34mm

Current draw: 100ma

We have designed two utility modules that extend Cerebellum’s functionality:

AO, a dual attenuverter, offset and mixer

DM, a triple track/sample and hold plus noise
