The LED meter on the front of the module allows you to see the width
you’re decoding to even when dynamically modulating the width with a
CV. Fully to the left indicates Super-wide Reverse Stereo, left and
centre lit up indicates Reverse Stereo, centre only indicates Mono,
centre and right indicates Stereo and only right indicates Super-wide
Stereo. Note that depending on the levels and phase coherence of your
Mid and Side signals the levels of your Left and Right outputs will vary
as you manipulate stereo width, this is to be expected and a
demonstration of the power of mid-side processing.

The design choice was made to place the width control and HPF

after

the MS processing send and return loop as this gives more power and
more control, allowing for more extreme MS effects to be patched in
and then controlled. The switchable high pass filter allows the removal
of low frequency signals on the Side input which can cause phase
cancellation issues, allowing the creation of super-wide signals in the
higher frequency bands while maintaining mono compatibility in the
crucial low frequency area. This allows the use of effects which can
