PREFACE
First of all, congratulations on the purchase of this 3U Eurorack synthesizer
module. This manual contains a condensed description of the functionality
and addresses users with a certain level of elementary technical knowledge.
The CS-8
COOK is a more persuasive VCA mono compressor with softknee
characteristic and adjustable Side Chain input. It is based on the known "ebbe
und flut" architecture, where only one knob controls the Threshold, Make-up
Gain and Ratio at the same time. It is designed for mounting into a 3U Eurorack
with an in/- 12V power supply.
Compared to the "ebbe und flut" the time constant (Attack/Release) is now
continuously adjustable over a wide range and moreover another peculiarity is
added one not meet in ordinary compressor designs, the parameter
"Response" . Th is generates an oversh ooting, adjustable in 4 steps (h eigh t of
oversh oot), of th e RMS-converter in case of dynamic ch anges of th e input
signal. By adjusting the time constant with the rhythmic timing very strong
pumping and compression effects are possible. Furthermore this compressor
is perfectly suitable as a bass-compressor down to lowest sub-frequencies.
Definitely a fun maker with a superior dynamic range!
Design and implementation meet highest technical standards concerning
usability, sound quality, and signal-to-noise ratio. The front panel is made from
powdered and printed piece of aluminium sheet metal of 2 mm gauge. The
entire design and production work was done in Germany.
