This module is a 4-channel voltage controlled signal polarizer, inspired by a popular Eurorack module.

The big knobs on the left control channel polarity and gain over the input signal. At the center point (12 o'clock) the signal is muted. Turning the knob clockwise (green) amplfies the signal up to unity, and turning counterclockwise (red) amplifies it and inverts it. When nothing is connected to the input, it defaults to 5V, so these knobs can be used to produce constant DC values, or to change the center value of the the signal coming in the CV input.

The small knobs in the center are attenuverters for the CV inputs, which are added to the value of the big knobs.

The downward pointing triangle toggles on the right allow you to pass the signal of that channel to the next one below, to create submixes of the channels. With all 3 buttons engaged, the output of ch4 will be the sum of all 4 channels.

The trc (trace) toggle at the top right turns on a visual trace of the values of each of the channels, where the top half of the bar represents the positive part of the signal, and the bottom one the negative. This is only meant as a quick visual reference when patching, but for more precise results it is recommended to use an oscilloscope, or the Benard CV Display module.
