Features
- Route Four Sources to Two Outputs — A control block familiar to anyone who has used broadcast consoles and video mixers. Illuminated pushbuttons allow fast manual selection. Patch the two outputs to FKG3 to complete an A/B switching workflow -- or think outside the box and define the signal path in any way you choose.
- Make Multi Pane Masks With Video Rate Control — Behind Switcher's six control inputs are dedicated hard key generators that slice the input signals at 50% gray level. Use ramps, shapes, and video sources to control the multiplexers and explore a world of multi-panel compositions and texture collages.
- Programmable Routing For Any Part Of The Patch — When interpreted in arbitrary ways, Switcher can handle many tasks besides switching RGB signals. Use it to select variations of a modulation bus between oscillators, cycle thru ramp generator angles or wave shapes, or different return paths from a feedback loop.
