Many-in-1 multifunction module

THE disting mk4

The mk4 builds on the previous mk3 and adds these new features:
- a dot matrix display, making menu navigation, parameter selection etc. a breeze.
- a front panel accessible MicroSD card slot.
- compatibility with the Macro Machines Storage Strip.
- an internal precision clock allowing new algorithms such as a tuner, and pitch and frequency references.

The new version is largely software-compatible with the mk3, and the intention is to continue releasing new features for both the mk3 and mk4 in parallel.

X & Y inputs, A & B outputs:

  • ADC: 24 bit, THD+N -93dB, Dynamic range 99dB, SNR 99dB
  • DAC: 24 bit, THD+N -94dB, Dynamic range 105dB, SNR 104dB 
  • Sample rate: 75kHz
  • Z input sample rate: 75kHz

CPU: Microchip PIC32MX at up to 50MHz, hackable, open source code framework available.

Functions
There are currently 5 'banks' of algorithms. The first 16 ('classic disting') are:

  • Precision Adder with integer voltage offsets
  • Four Quadrant Multiplier with integer multiply/divide
  • Full-wave Rectifier
  • Minimum/maximum
  • Linear/Exponential Converter
  • Comparator with adjustable hysteresis
  • Sample and Hold with noise source and adjustable slew rate
  • Slew Rate Limiter with linear and exponential slew
  • Quantizer with selectable scales
  • Pitch and Envelope Tracker
  • Dual Waveshaper - wavefolder and triangle-to-sine shaper
  • Clockable Delay/Echo
  • LFO with through zero frequency control and waveshaping
  • Clockable LFO with multiply/divide and waveshaping
  • VCO with linear FM sine and saw outputs
  • VCO with waveshaping (saw/triangle and pulse outputs)

The second bank contains: 

  • Precision Adder with fractional voltage offsets
