Switches
The VCV 1->4 and 4->1 switches have a slew limiter that makes them great for audio, but not so good for switching CV. Here are constructs without any slew limiting that work well with CV.
Polyphonic Sequential Switch 1->8 or 8->1
The SEQ 3 does most of the work, and doesn’t even need configuring, other than to specify the number of steps. The VCAs use the SEQ 3 gates to control which channel is active.

CV Addressable Channel Selector
Generates a polyphonic output with the selected channel having a 10V gate, and the others 0V. Unipolar CV is used to select a channel.
This construct was originally intended to be used with any number of N->1 or 1->N switches. But the output could be used any way you see fit.
Unlike the sequential switches, the channels can be selected in any order with appropriate CV input.
- LFO saw wave for ascending order
- Inverted LFO saw wave for descending order
- Triangle wave for ping pong
- RANDOM sample and hold for random order
- SEQ 3 sequence for user assignable pattern
Use the Channel Selector to drive as many switches as you want!
