Wichtige Sicherheitsinformationen
To ensure safe operation and long-term reliability, please observe the following guidelines whenever using this module:
- Lesen Sie alle Anweisungen, bevor Sie das Gerät in Betrieb nehmen.
- Power requirements: Use only the power supply type specified for Eurorack systems, as indicated in the operating instructions or marked on the module.
- Hearing protection: When used with amplifiers, headphones, or speakers, the system may produce high sound levels capable of causing permanent hearing damage. Avoid extended sessions at high volumes.
- Foreign objects and liquids: Ensure that no objects fall into the module and no liquids enter the enclosure through any openings.
- Avoid moisture: Do not use the module near water or in damp locations such as kitchens, bathrooms, wet basements, or near swimming pools.
- Ventilation: Install the module in a location that allows proper airflow and prevents overheating.
- Heat sources: Keep the device away from radiators, heat vents, and other equipment that generates heat. Do not expose the module to open flames or direct sunlight.

Einführung
REWIRE is a 4×4 sequential switch and signal router that lets you rewire your modular patch on the fly without ever touching a cable. Designed for dynamic signal flow, generative mayhem, and performance precision, REWIRE gives you four inputs and four independent outputs, each with level control, switching logic, and real-time manipulation. Whether you’re routing audio, CV, or triggers, REWIRE transforms your system into a living, shifting network of connections. Clocked, resettable, suitable, and divisible, this isn’t just a switch; it’s a patch programmer, a performance brain, and a creative playground in just 10HP.
- Rotate 4 LFOs through 4 destinations for evolving modulation.
- Dynamically shift a melody between 4 voices.
- Create generative drum grooves by remapping triggers.
- Step an audio signal through 4 FX chains rhythmically.
- Turning REWIRE into a manual preset bank using the faders alone.
Installation
- Trennen Sie Ihren Synthesizer von der Stromquelle.
- Double check polarity from the ribbon cable. If you damage the module by powering in the wrong direction it will not be covered by the warranty.
- After connecting the module, check again that you have connected it the right way; the red line must be on the -12V.
Frontplatten-Layout
Top Row Inputs
- CLOCK (A) — Clock and trigger input
- ZURÜCKSETZEN (B) — Reset trigger input
- SHIFT (C) — Shift CV input
- DIV (D) — Clock divisions CV input
- CH1–CH4 (E–H) — Channel inputs 1–4
Bottom Row Outputs
OUT1–OUT4 (I–L) — Channel outputs 1–4, each with independent routing, level, and polarity controls
LED-Anzeigen
LEDs display both routing position and signal polarity. They are bipolar:
- Green indicates a positive signal.
- Red indicates a negative signal.
Bedienelemente
Level Faders (Q–T)
Each output has its own level fader for attenuation or amplification of the routed signal.
Polarity Switches (U–X)
Umschalten zwischen:
- Unipolar [0 to +]
- Bipolar [– to +]
Attenuverter Inputs (Q–T)
Signal attenuverter CV inputs allow external control of level and polarity.
DIV Knob (Y)
Controls the division of the incoming clock. Select from multiple division options for dynamic rhythm generation.
SHIFT Knob (Z)
Manually rotates the routing to positions >1, >2, or >3. The SHIFT knob mirrors the behavior of the SHIFT CV input:
- In >> mode, the external clock advances the routing forward.
- In >< mode, the routing moves in a pendulum (back-and-forth) pattern.
- In Random mode, each clock pulse selects a routing position randomly.
Even when switching manually to >1, >2, or >3, REWIRE still requires an external clock. This ensures you can design your own custom routing sequences using external CV—such as 0,2,4,4 or 1,1,1,3—rather than being restricted to deterministic step sequences.
How REWIRE Works
REWIRE steps through routing states using an external clock. Each step determines which input is connected to which output. Shifting allows manual or CV-controlled movement through routing states, while reset returns to the first step. This makes REWIRE ideal for:
- Sequential switching
- Trigger routing, dynamic pattern changes
- Audio Re-routing
- CV Re-routing
Inputs in Detail
- Clock (A) — Advances the routing sequence. Accepts triggers or clock signals.
- Reset (B) — When a trigger is received, all outputs immediately switch to position 1 (as set by the routing pot), and the clock divider counter is reset. This ensures tight synchronization with external sequencers.
- Shift (C) — With the SHIFT pot or CV_ shift, you can manually rotate the routing to positions >1, >2, >3. If >> is selected, the clock will switch signals forward. If >< is selected, the clock will switch signals in a pendulum motion. If random is selected, the clock will switch signals randomly. Even when switching manually or with CV to positions >1, >2, or >3, the module still requires an external clock. This allows you to build custom sequences using external CV—such as 0,2,4,4 or 1,1,1,3—instead of relying solely on deterministic sequencing.
- Clock Division CV (D) — Modulates the clock divider under CV control.
Outputs in Detail
- Channel Outputs (I–L) — Each output independently switches through the four inputs depending on the routing state.
- LED Indicators (M–P) — Show which routing step each output is currently selecting.
Betriebsarten
- Sequenzieller Modus — Each clock pulse advances the router one step.
- Shift-Modus — Shift can offset all routing positions globally. Useful for creating evolving patterns.
- Takteinteilung — Use the DIV knob and CV input to slow down or speed up the stepping pattern.
- Manual Routing — Using the SHIFT knob, you can scroll through routing states by hand.
FAQs
What is the purpose of the REWIRE module?
REWIRE is a 4x4 sequential switch and signal router designed for dynamic signal flow and real-time manipulation of modular patches.
How do I install the REWIRE module?
Disconnect your synth from the power source, double-check the polarity from the ribbon cable, and ensure the red line is on the -12V.
