I’m working on a new polyphonic utility module, Sloly Pit. I was always wanting to extract (for example) 3, 2-channel signals from a single poly signal, and I was sick of using multiple “split” modules. Sloly Pit will split the incoming signal wherever you plug in the output cables. It also has a “custom” mode which allows 16 fully independent polyphonic re-routings from the single poly input.

You can try Sloly Pit in the v2.3.0 release candidate: Release Computerscare Modules v2.3.0 · freddyz/computerscare-vcv-modules · GitHub

This looks great, looking forward! You poly modules are fire :smiley:.

Not sure I fully understand, but couldn’t Grande’s PolySplit do that?

Yeah PolySplit can do that but with a maximum of 4 output cables. Also I wanted something just a tiny bit faster, in Sloly Pit the split points are determined by where you patch the outputs, saving a couple clicks

Ya, that makes sense. Having more than 4 outputs is a real plus :+1:.

Another new polyphonic utility module coming in the next 2.3.1 release: Mely Porge. Polyphonic Merge/Insert/Mix/VCA/Compare tool. Basically a merge with a number of additional features.

In this screenshot, we have a “main” input 10 channel polyphonic signal, and a 2 channel signal patched to ch3 in “insert” mode. The 2ch signal replaces channels 3/4 of the final output. Also demonstrates a per-channel offset (channel 7 subtracts 5v from the final output)

Each channel allows the following modes of operation:

  • Add: sum the main input with the channel input
  • Insert: pass the main input unless the channel input is patched, then replace it
  • Crossfade: crossfade between the main input and channel input using the attenuverter knob
  • VCA bipolar: multiplication; main input is the signal, channel input is bipolar gain
  • VCA unipolar: multiplication; main input is the signal, channel input is unipolar gain
  • Minimum: output the lesser of the main input and the channel input
  • Maximum: output the greater of the main input and the channel input
  • Compare: output 10v when the channel input exceeds the main input, otherwise 0v

And some new features to the Debug module: added a new graphical option to render “bars” instead of or in addition to the text. And color themes:
