Thank you for purchasing a WORNG Electronics
 module.  is a development of our
original LRMSMSLR mid/side encoder/decoder, which
introduced the Eurorack world to the power of
mid/side processing.  adds a voltage
controlled through-zero width control to the MS->LR
decoder section, allowing you to control the width of
your mid-side processing from super-wide stereo,
through mono and then into negative stereo.
 is designed with ergonomics in mind, with
user friendly controls that have plenty of clearance
for tweaking and LED feedback of modulation.

Connecting your 

 requires 8hp of space in your Eurorack
system, and a depth of at least 25mm. Connect the
included power cable to the back of the module and

to your power busboard. The connection on the module is shrouded
and can only go one way, but is also marked with a line to let you know
which way the red stripe should be facing. The module is also
electrically protected against damage from reverse power connection,
but you should still always be careful connecting power.

 Essential Concepts

 uses a technique known as Mid/Side processing which
separates a stereo signal into a Mid signal containing all signals from
the left and right channels, and a Side channel consisting of only the
differences between the left and right channels. This is a classic studio
technique which is often used during mastering and while cutting
records, as it allows the manipulation of stereo signals in more
complex and powerful ways than simply processing the left and right
