AM996 Osc Input Mixer

8 HP | AM996 Osc Input Mixer | User Manual (PDF) | ModularGrid | You Tube

OVERVIEW This module replicates the Oscillator CV mixer from the Moog CP3 control panel as an 8HP wide separate module.  

There are four CV inputs and internal patching for driving Behringer 921A or AMSynths AM901 oscillator controller modules. The module is designed to reduce the need for  patch cables and to replicate the CV internal bus structure of the original Moog Modulars.

The module AM996 is supplied with PCB Daughter Boards that attach to the rear of the 921A and 921B and a cable that interlinks them with the AM996. The AM901A and AM 901B do not require daughter boards and are "plug and play".

PLEASE NOTE: A small amount of Synth DIY is need to solder wires to the back of the Behringer modules from the Daughter Boards.

DESCRIPTION The AM996 module has four CV pitch inputs on front panel jack sockets, which can be switched into the VCO Controller CV input using the four ON/OFF switches which have indicator LED's. An attentuating potentiometer is available on input 4. The CV inputs are mixed together using a precision Op Amp and sent to a PCB mounted 6-way IDC connector for internal patching to the VCO Controlled Module.

Inputs 1, 2 and 3 are normalised to an IDC 6-way socket which can be patched directly into an AM-CP1 module or via the AM990 internal bus board. This replicates the internal bus structure of the Moog Modular, with three sets of CV and V-Trigger signals on one ribbon cable, reducing the need for external patch cables.

DAUGHTER BOARDS The module comes with small daughter board PCB's which attach to the rear of the Behringer 921A and 921B. The boards are hard wired to the Behringer PCB's using small wires by the customer. This is explained in the user manual and video. The module comes with one 921A daughter board and three 921B daughter boards. The ribbon cable connecting them can be cut shorter by the customer if only 2x 921B modules are being used.

CONNECTIONS The AM996 module has four pitch CV inputs with 3.5 mm jack sockets on the front panel, and a rear facing 6-pin header. The AM921A Daughter Board has two rear facing 6-pin headers and the AM921B Daughter Board has one. The daughter boards have pads for connecting wires to the rear of the Behringer modules.
