Hi,

A quick question about two CV processors: Do the Dual Processor and the Scaling Buffers do
the same thing? Attenuating and/or inverting of CV's with the possibility of adding or
subtracting an offset voltage?
If that's the case, then I suppose the only difference is that the Dual Processor (PRC) accepts
three inputs per half-module instead of one, so that it can be used to mix CV's as well?

Thanks

Thomas

The Dual Processor & Scaling Buffers do similar things but not the same
thing.
The Scaling Buffers (each) can apply scaling/inverting + offset to one
signal at a time. They don't mix inputs.
The Dual Processor (each) can mix/scale up to 3 inputs together + apply
offset to the sum.

So the Scaling Buffers are skinny subsets of the Dual Processor. The
Dual Processor does everything the Scaling Buffers do, and it mixes too.

The Dual Processor is better for small-midsize systems, since it does
everything. A sprinkling of Scaling Buffers is good for mid-to larger
systems where you sometimes need to trim/invert a signal or two, or
drive some things with a common offset.

I personally believe the Scaling Processor offers the most bang for
the buck (and panel space) and highly recommend every mid-sized system
have at least one of these along with an Active Processor.

Thanks John and Chris!

Yeah, after looking at the specs in the catalog I would tend to agree that the Scaling
Processor offers the most possibilities. Three sections with processing inputs, one of them
with a variable offset control, plus a fixed offset voltage of +5 volt as a tiny fourth section.

The only CV processor of this kind in the system I ordered is a Dual Processor in the Blue
Control panel. Wondering why Rex picked that one for the shop panel instead of the
Scaling Processor, and why it's the most expensive of the bunch too...

I'll keep a one in mind for my imaginary custom panel.
