Introduction

‘Boss Bow Tie’ is an 8 way bidirectional voltage controlled switch. An input ‘I/O’ 

signal is mapped to an output ‘I/O’  via a corresponding control voltage. As 

bidirectional, this can be either 1 of up to 8 inputs into a single output or a single input 

into 1 of up to 8 outputs. The control input features both an attenuverter and offset to 

precisely select which of the 8 I/O’s are available to be ‘switched’. A normalized  ‘Gate’ 

input enables and disables the switch allowing for rhythmic and other effects. 

The module is intended primarily for flexible routing of CV signals. Though audio 

signals will work - audible clicks can sometimes be apparent when switching I/O’s.

• 8 way bidirectional voltage controlled switch.

 

1 input into any 1 of up to 8 outputs -or- 1 of up to 8 inputs into a single output.
