Expert Sleepers Disting mk3 16-in-1 multifunction module

The Disting is a many-in-1 multifunction module, offering a variety of CV and audio processes, including a selection of oscillators (LFOs/VCOs). All algorithms have two high-precision inputs and outputs, and a third control input, exposed on a front panel knob and a CV input. There are currently three 'banks' of algorithms. The first 16 ('classic disting') are: * 1st Bank o Group1 + Precision Adder with integer voltage offsets + Four Quadrant Multiplier with integer multiply/divide + Full-wave Rectifier + Minimum/maximum o Group2 + Linear/Exponential Converter + Quantizer with selectable scales + Comparator with adjustable hysteresis + Dual Waveshaper + wavefolder and triangle-to-sine shaper o Group3 + Sample and Hold with noise source and adjustable slew rate + Slew Rate Limiter with linear and exponential slew + Pitch and Envelope Tracker + Clockable Delay/Echo o Group4 + LFO with through zero frequency control and waveshaping + Clockable LFO with multiply/divide and waveshaping + VCO with linear FM sine and saw outputs + VCO with waveshaping saw/triangle and pulse outputs * 2nd Bank o Group1 + Precision Adder with fractional voltage offsets + Voltage Controlled Delay Line vibrato/chorus/flange effects + Clockable Ping Pong Delay + Clockable Ping Pong Delay with input pan control o Group2 + Resonator for drum synthesis + Vocoder 12 band + Phaser up to 10 stages o Group3 + Tape Delay with voltage controlled tape speed + State Variable Filter smoothly variable filter type o Group4 + LP/HP Filter + LP/BP Filter + BP/HP Filter + BP/Notch Filter * 3rd Bank o Group1 + AR Envelope + AR Envelope with push + AR Envelope & VCA + AR Envelope & VCA with push o Group2 + Dual AR Envelope + Dual AR Envelope with push o Group3 + Clockable AD Envelope with mute + Clockalbe AD Envelope with gate + Clockalbe AD Envelope with trigger + Clockalbe AD Envelope & VCA o Group4 + Shift Register Random CVs + Shift Register Random Quantized CVs + Shift Register Random Triggers + Shift Register Random Dual Triggers mk3 version The disting mk3 was introduced in November 2015. The main differences compared to the original disting are: Smaller - now 42mm deep (from 53mm) Over 50% less power consumption - now 70mA combined draw (from 148mA) User-updatable code - via Micro SD card More algorithms - no longer limited to 16 More functionality - new encoder and push buttons give more control options Specifications The Disting's specifications are as follows: Panel width: 4HP Module depth: 42mm X & Y inputs, A & B outputs Sample rate: 75kHz ADC: 24 bit, THD+N -93dB, Dynamic range 99dB, SNR 99dB DAC: 24 bit, THD+N -94dB, Dynamic range 105dB, SNR 104dB Z input sample rate: 75kHz approx CPU: Microchip PIC32MX at up to 50MHz Current draw: 50mA on the +12V rail, 20mA on the -12V rail (70mA total) The front panel is drilled for both Doepfer and Analogue Systems mounting holes (using a 'slot' rather than a single round hole). The power connector is a Doepfer standard 10 way IDC, with -12V furthest from the top of the board. For more detail, please see the . Hackable The Disting is based around a PIC microcontroller, with a programming/debug header available on the board. Using Microchip's a user can easily hack the Disting to perform their own functions. It is our intention to provide an open source code framework into which developers can slot their own algorithms.
