Erica Synths EDU DIY Mixer Eurorack Module Kit - Manual (Page 18)

Here’s how it works. If there’s a resistance between our diodes and ground, we restrict
the amount of current flowing. This means that for the same amount of pushing (or
pulling) force above the diodes, less current will flow. Resulting in less of that force being
used up (or relieved).
So more force is allowed to build up above the diodes before
we see it stagnate – meaning that we’ve moved our clipping thresholds up and
down respectively
. And the more resistance we dial in, the more that happens.
To test this, you don’t have to set anything else up – you just need to fiddle with the
trimmer a bit. And with this addition, our mixer is done. If you now want to make your
16
creation permanent, dig out the panel and PCB from the kit, heat up your soldering iron
and get to building! You can find more information on how to populate the board & how to
solder in the enclosed appendix.
You can also vary the e ff ect by adjusting the mix levels – simply because if the signal going into 16
the clipping stage is more quiet, there’s less of the waveform to clip o ff .
