The 2CVTOOL offers two separate units for offset, attenuation and inversion of signals, also known as "attenuverter". This can be useful for all kinds of purposes.
Module power consumption: 2 mA
Inputs
- IN 1 - accepts any CV or audio signal
- IN 2 - accepts any CV or audio signal
Outputs
- Bus CV - CV signal from MIDI (CC20)
- Bus CTRL - CTRL signal from MIDI
- OUT 1 (x2) - attenuverted and offset signal from IN1
- OUT 2 (x2) - attenuverted and offset signal from IN2
- MULT - passive multiple, not connected to the module's circuitry
Controls
- OFFSET 1 - Potentiometer to dial in the offset voltage for channel 1.
- LEVEL 1 - Potentiometer to select the attenuation. This is a bipolar control in that it can reduce the incoming voltage or increase it.
- OFFSET 2 - Potentiometer to dial in the offset voltage for channel 2. This will be added to the incoming CV.
- LEVEL 2 - Potentiometer to select the attenuation. This is a bipolar control in that it can reduce the incoming voltage or increase it.
Patch Suggestions
This is (currently) one of the few modules that can invert a signal so can be invaluable. For example; you want a filter to close as a key is held and then open once released the easiest way to do this is to invert the CV out from an envelope generator. Another common example is inverting a trigger so something else is making noise when the trigger is not "on", useful for rhythm patches...
This module can be useful to provide a knob control to a parameter that doesn't otherwise have one. For example CV2 on the MS20 filter module.
It can also be good with the Joystick module, for instance if you want a CV being controlled by that also have another adjustment.

Currently only the Mixconsole has CV control of the channel input levels on a mixer; you can use the 2CVTOOL to set a minimum level with the offset, and then the modulation amount (i.e. volume) is controlled by this module's level knob. Excellent with Envelopes but works with LFOs as well....
