Cre8audio & Pittsburgh Modular releases Function Junction for eurorack
Channel: MusicGearz
Date: 2022-05-01

Cre8audio® & Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers today announced Function Junction, the latest creation stemming from their recently announced partnership.

Function Junction is a many-function-in-one module, made for use in eurorack format modular synthesizers.

Fun with functions…

Traditionally many-in-one multi-function modules are compromised of abstract functions and controls that when patched together can create basic or complex utilities. Often these modules are challenging to use and have some inherent limitations due to their abstract nature.

Cre8audio & Pittsburgh Modular’s take on the many-in-one multi-function module attacks these limitations head-on by eliminating the abstract. Each section of the module’s user interface is clearly separated into dedicated utility types with controls that will be familiar to the user. This approach increases the module’s capabilities while at the same time becoming more approachable for users of all levels.

Function Junction has dedicated ADSR, Function Generator, and LFO sections. Each section performs as a user would expect, as well as some having deeper functionality sprinkled in. Clever looping and external modulation add layers of possibilities.

The integrated attenuverting mixer ties all of the sections together, or not… Each section is routed by default through the attenuverers of the mixer but can also be repatched at the user’s whim.

The magic in the module is that each of its sections stands strongly on their own, but also can be easily used together to create interesting and complex functions. “Function Junction is a modulation hub combining four independent sections into a single intertwined module that offers much more than the sum of its parts. Although a sum of its parts is one of its best features!” said the ultra-serious Richard Nicol, founder of Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers.

With its dedicated utilities and its 16 patch points, flowing from creating complex modulation or juggling multiple essential tasks is an easy feat for Function Junction’s users.



Function Junction key features and other info:
Dedicated ADSR, Function Generator, LFO, & Mixer sections
ADSR / Envelope
Fully analog Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers developed 4 stage ADSR circuit with independent Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release controls.
“Loop” capability for envelope cycling. The SUSTAIN KNOB and RELEASE KNOB are used to adjust the time it takes to loop. Loop can be toggled on and off with button press or via gate
Function Generator
Function Generator can be used as an envelope generator, a voltage controlled LFO, a slew generator, a gate signal delay, envelope follower, a clock source, voltage controlled clock divider, complex modulation source, and more
Modulation input can be to attack, decay, or both.
Loop mode
Dual LFO
Triangle and Square LFO outs
3 channel attenuverting mixer with + OR circuit
Mixer can be split into 3 independent attenuverters, one two-channel mixer, and one attenuverter, or a three-channel mixer
When not being used as a mixer each channel is normaled to one of the other functions of the module, ADSR, Function Generator, and LFO enabling both an additional out put for each section as well as a dedicated attenuverter for each.
+ OR circuit outputs the current highest voltage value of any of the voltages output by the mixer
16hp Eurorack format module



Function Junction is available now with an estimated street price of $199.99 / €199.99 from Cre8audio.com and Cre8audio dealers worldwide.
