Dame just got the MD and was seen to Diy the DIV mutes, wow we are in sync, the T43 PA nice module to play octaves with my seq EC, Muxlicer and MD as well the D 182-2 switch
Just occurred to me you can probably do something similar with a bit more control using a Sequential Switch? I don't have a sequenctial switch myself and have never used one but sounds like it would be a good idea.
Attention: This mute switch does not carry pitch information. Although it is buffered and it is stated on the website “This module can add mutes to anything” this is not the case! Buyer beware!
Here's a link to an unlisted vid I just made. Pardon the lack of direct sound, but you'll see it working just fine: th-cam.com/video/xNBlcgB0quE/w-d-xo.html
I was about to respond to your other comment w/ the suggestion of a direct vs. mutes comparison, but I can't find it, so I'm posting here. You are correct in that the pitch does sound different after passing through mutes. I made another video: th-cam.com/video/3Xee8hFZObY/w-d-xo.html. So it does carry pitch information - maybe there’s a trick I’m missing. I'll ask Sir DivKid about that.
Beatnik ... you're posting this on every video you can find either as some public service announcement or slanderous dig at a module you possibly presumed does something that it wasn't advertised as doing. You also didn't get in touch to see if it was a faulty module or expected behaviour. I've left you a longer reply to your comment on my video with some musical ideas and patch based ways to get around halting, holding and muting pitch in a Eurorack system. But for the benefit of anyone else reading this ... Mutes is not designed to pass sensitive accurate voltage information such as quantised pitch. Using vactrols simply doesn't allow for that. Vactrols are used in this module for the desirable affect of click-free audio muting and a nice musical curve for fast performance based momentary muting. In terms of use cases for muting pitches any sort of mute would just switch off a signal, like pulling a patch cable out of a module. So that would take a pitch sequence and just dump that note information down to 0V (zero volts). What might be more useful is a track and hold which would let a pitch sequence pass and then rather than mute/turn off a signal actually hold it. A bit like telling a keyboard player to stop playing and them then leaving a finger on the note. Alternatively you could turn off note by muting gates that feed envelopes to stop those playing, or mute the audio. I hope that's helpful.
awesome tip
Sick idea! I love my Mutes.

You took it easy on this one. The patch screams performability. Nice one! ♤
Thanks! And yeah, intentionally kept it simple for purposes of this particular video. But it’s hugely performable for sure.
dope
Thanks 👍 that's a great tip 😎
sound good !!
Great idea. Don't worry about polish! You got me 'triggered. gotta play with this :)
Daaaamn!
Very cool!

It does! I just tested mine and it's carrying pitch just fine. Perhaps you have a faulty one?
Happy to provide a vid to show it.
