From the project
Open-source eurorack synthesizer modules and related stuff.
A eurorack module for the distribution of CV signals. In essence it is 9 1-to-3 buffered multipes with signal indicators in grouped in three channels of three multiples. The "twist" is that every single multiple can be switch to work solo, so when you are not using the multiples as a distribution bus, you can still use them for something else.
You can use multiple inputs to combine signals (triggers, lfo's) like you would with a mixer and distribute these signals around your case. The Multibus has a variable gain for each channel, with the gain ranging from 0 to 1 (unity gain). This way you…
