voltage scrambler


 This is not an attempt to design a module ..still the ideal diode tutorial from Jim Patchel inspired me for this module ,i was gonna make a panel that featured few of the examples he gives in the tutorial ,and so i even draw this schematic combining 3 simple modules . As in the basic ideal circuit from Patchel's site this module has one input and one break cv input .At the outputs you get 2 different voltages derived from the input voltage and the break voltage input ,these are later fed into 2 voltage controlled glide modules originally designed by Serge ,as these fit very well as submodules cause of their simplicity ,and finally the slewed voltages coming out of the glide submodules are mixed with single cv processor also originally designed by Serge . I find it interesting cause the two upper and lower parts can be inverted with the processor . I am not sure if this would make sense in a modular ,as i have not built it yet ,however i have built a waveshaper based on the ideal diode circuit and that is working fine .
