Logic Circuit Toolbox module collection
This is a collection of binary modules: FlipFlops, ADC, DAC, Counter, Memory and more for LoFi and generative fun.
R/S FlipFlop – Set and Reset FlipFlop.
FlipFlop – Toggles output on clock.
Change Detector – give a pulse when at least one bit changes.
1bit ADC – one bit Analog Digital Converter. Analog output = analog input - comparator threshold (when threshold is reached).
4bit ADC – ditto with four bits.
4bit DAC – Digital Analog Converter. Fast and noisy!
4bit DeNoise – Remove switching noise caused by race conditions.
4bit Indicator – Shows the bits and has a slower, but cleaner DAC output.
4bit Memory – 4 Sample and Holds acting as memory.
4bit Counter – binary counter that can be cascaded.
….more will very likely come…

Awesome.
Thanks @gravitas ! What I find awesome is that Drambo is so CPU efficient, that I can run even the more complex modules like a DAC / ADC combination at audiorates (over 1KHz). It's just fun!
That's excellent!
I wonder if there's some kind of commonly used order of modules that could be packed into one rack with a number of buttons and knobs to control it? At least to play with the different options more quickly?
That’s a good idea. I’ll see to get a “Logic Circuit Experiment Kit” ready when I have time. It will be something with the ADC at the beginning (left side), the indicator DAC and a Scope at the output end, and some buttons and flipflops and counters in between. Drambo for education?!
Excellent! Thanks for putting together.
anybody got some tips for what to do with the ADC modules? I noticed I can use them to make some interesting square waves but I assume there are more interesting uses.
@Johnisfaster You can use the ADC to LoFi digitise some incoming signal. Mangle and play with the four bit channels (swap bits, use flipflops and memory,….). Feed the output into the DAC and make some noise with it’s output signal.
Also look up Xaoc Leibnitz Binary System in eurorack and check out similar devices in Mirack and VCV Rack by Hetrick.
Here’s a link for reference.
Thanks! @Flipflop I always wondered how to create such a thing to stop LFOs from passing upon clock start stop, but the lack of logic understanding eludes me. Be great to hear if that's also possible with a flip toggle.
Solved, just needed the clock module to go before instead of the actual track's clock.
