Limited WARRANTY: Make Noise warrants this product to be free of defects in materials or construction for a period of one year from the date of purchase (proof of purchase/invoice required). Malfunction resulting from wrong power supply voltages, backwards or reversed eurorack bus board cable connection, abuse of the product or any other causes determined by Make Noise to be the fault of the user are not covered by this warranty, and normal service rates will apply.
Eurorack style bus board, minding the polarity so that the RED stripe on the cable is oriented to the NEGATIVE 12 Volt line on both the module and the bus board. On the Make Noise 6U or 3U Busboard, the negative 12 Volt line is indicated by the white stripe.
Panel Controls 1. CHannel 1 Signal INput: Direct-coupled signal input capable of accepting audio or control signals. Range of up to 10Vpp. 2. CHannel 1 DAMP CV INput: CV input for the CHannel’s DAMPing parameter, now capable of accepting audio or control signals.

Capable of accepting audio or control signals up to 10Vpp. 16. SUM OUT: The SUM or mix of all signals processed by the OPTOMIX is output at this jack. 10Vpp (depending upon settings and source material).
The new OPTOMIX has the same sound and original feature set, save for one Normalization: CHannel 1 Signal OUTput is no longer Normalled to the CHannel 2 Signal INput. What we have added is the ability to allow OPTOMIX to be used as an Audio Compressor or CV Processor/Generator.
Low Pass Gate to a VCA in order to control the Low Pass Gates. The OPTOMIX’s DAMP circuit allows for this control without the use of an additional VCA. DAMP Combo Pot, or In order apply a CONTROL signal to its DAMP INput and adjust the DAMP Combo Pot for Attenuation.
This is great for bursts of modulation and works with any mod source (e.g. LFO, Ran-dom, Noise, etc.) In order to emulate a palm-mute, apply your Gate signal to both a STRIKE INput on the OPTOMIX and MATHS CHannel 1/4’s TRIGGER INput. Set MATHS RISE Panel Control to have a long RISE time (i.e. at least 60%) with a short FALL time (less than 50%).
DAMPening. FM Pings: Patch an FM source such as an audio-rate SINE wave to OPTOMIX CHannel1 Signal INput. Patch the CHannel1 OUTput to the Linear FM INput on STO or another VCO of your choice. Adjust OPTOMIX CONTROL Combo Pot full CCW (0%). Patch a Trigger or Gate source to OPTOMIX CHannel1 STRIKE INput...
