WORNG Electronics SoundStage manual
Thanks for purchasing a WORNG Electronics SoundStage module, we
hope it breathes new life into your system!
The SoundStage is the essence of a
stereo mixer distilled into a
powerful efficient package. It
includes twenty-one inputs which
pass through a combination of
twenty resonant analogue filters
for tonal control and mix down to a
voltage controllable stereo output
stage.
SoundStage forgoes level controls
on each input as this can be done
with the VCA stage of the voices it’s
being fed. Rather than having a pan
control per input, each input is
placed in the stereo field according
to its position left to right on the
panel. The horizontal rows indicate how the inputs are filtered into
overlapping Low, Low-mid, Mid, High-mid and High bands. The Depth
control allows you to control the depth of the filtering, from unfiltered
on the left to hard filtered on the right. Like the stereo output level,
Depth can be controlled with a CV.
The ideas behind the SoundStage have been developing for a few years
now. Before founding WORNG Electronics I worked for many years as a
sound engineer and learned a lot of tricks for getting sounds to fit
together in a mix. Early on I learnt that panning is a powerful tool for
separating instruments in a mix, likewise filtering instruments to they
sit in their own space in the frequency spectrum.
