4HP Neuron

from $10.00

Description/Usage

4hp

This module is a 4HP version of the NLC 8HP Neuron & Difference Rectifier.

The differences are half the panel real estate, SMD components, LEDs to indicate activity and one less input on the Neuron (2 instead of 3).

From the original version description -

The Neuron was inspired by a paper on neural computing and is a variation of a typical analogue neuron circuit. It can be used as a complex audio waveshaper, gate or pulse generator, CV shaper or to generally mess things up. The diff-rect is a hybrid of two basic op amp ‘building blocks’ – a difference circuit and a rectifier. Not sure if I have ever seen the two merged together before. It is probably a bad idea except for synth use, where it is a wonderful idea! 

The Difference Rectifier has 4 inputs (two + & two -) and two outputs. The Neuron has 3 2 inputs and one output, the pots control when the neuron will react to incoming signals and how much it will react.
