Robots Are Red Sump Pump Stereo Gate / Compressor - Eurorack
It's a noise gate, it's a noise suppressor, it's a compressor, it's an expander, it's stereo.
The Sump Pump from Robots Are Red is a slim yet feature-packed stereo dynamics processor capable of “extreme” quieting and amplifying effects. It uses an envelope follower to trigger a wide-ranging Attack/Release envelope, allowing the user to manipulate the input audio’s dynamics in various interesting and unconventional ways.
Circuit design by Jack S. of SetonixSynth. :)
Full demo video here.
Features:
- Attack and Release knob for envelope(s)
- Threshold for suppression/compression (0V - ~8V)
- Floor controls the amount of suppression/compression from -100dB to Unity and even up to +10dB for expanding the louds louder or make the quiets a bit louder.
- Level controls your overall output level; can be used for makeup gain
- Gate/Comp switch: When in "Gate" mode, whenever the input falls BELOW the threshold level, the envelope will engage towards the floor setting. When in "Comp" mode, the envelope will trigger when the input rises ABOVE the threshold setting.
-Stereo inputs and outputs. The envelope follower is assigned to the Left input, so the L input can also be used as a sidechain input for a mono signal (into In-R).
- Engage input. This is a gate input for manually engaging the envelope.
- Threshold CV input. This offsets from your knob position.
- Floor CV input. This also offsets from your knob position.
- Duck CV Input. This is an envelope follower input that applies and inverted envelope to the level of the signal. Send a simple pulse or trigger, an actual kick, an envelope, or anything else into this to duck your signal.
-Envelope Output. The envelope Output does not follow the "floor" settings and always outputs a full voltage envelope.
Width: 6hp
Depth: 30mm
Current Draw: 55mA @ ±12V
