New possibilities for performance and composition arise from the ability to dynamically route multiple sources to multiple destinations without repatching.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"large\"\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"360\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/709748764?h=536c1a132c\" title=\"vimeo-player\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe main I\/O is bidirectional, meaning that the module works as a 4:1 multiplexer or a 1:4 demultiplexer. Patch up to four signals to the inputs labeled 1-4 and they will be sequentially routed to the common I\/O jack. Alternately, patch one signal source to the I\/O jack and it will be sequentially distributed to the 1-4 jacks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach half of the module has its own independent loop length (from 1 to 4 steps) and sequencing mode: forwards, backwards, forwards and then backwards (pendulum), or random. The SC (Step Change) output generates a trigger whenever the sequence length is changed, which is useful for synchronizing the upper and lower halves of the module or communicating state changes to other modules. The analog CV addressing input (ADDR) bypasses pulse-based control and allows an external CV source to select which step is active, similar to the \"analog\" CV input on the Buchla 245\/246.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExpanded control and sequencing options make the DSS one of the most fully-featured sequential switches available in any modular format. Every aspect of the switching schema is accessible, facilitating patches that were not previously possible in the Buchla ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"hr\"\u003eTech Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul class=\"features\"\u003e \u003cli\u003e4:1 (multiplexed) or 1:4 (demultiplexed) switching of audio or CV\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVariable sequence length (1-4 steps) with voltage control\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVariable switching mode (forward, reverse, pendulum, random) with voltage control\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStep addressing via clock, direct selection, or external CV\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExtensive pulse I\/O for synchronization with external modules\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"hr\" id=\"extra\"\u003eExtra Settings\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRESET\/TRIG switch toggle.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBy default, pressing the RESET switch returns the sequencer to step 1, but this switch can also be used as a manual trigger source. Press RESET for 5 seconds to toggle this setting. The SC LED will blink to confirm the change. Now when the switch is pressed the TRIG jack will be pulsed instead. The RESET and TRIG jacks still work independently. Press RESET again for 5 seconds to toggle the switch function back to a manual reset.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eManual step selection.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePress the RESET switch and then turn the STEPS knob for manual channel selection. This works like the ADDR CV input but doesn't require external CV.
