4ms Company Shifting Inverting Signal Mingler

4-channel voltage manipulator
MFR# SISM

Product Description

The 4MS SISM is a 4-channel voltage manipulator that can scale, invert, attenuate, shift (dc offset), mix, split, and slice your CV and audio signals.

A plethora of red and blue LEDs (14) show exactly what each channel and output jack is doing: red = negative voltage, blue = positive.

Each channel is independent and has an input jack, output jack, a knob for attenuating/inverting (Scale), and a knob for applying positive or negative DC offset (Shift).

Four jacks on the bottom combine the four channels in different ways. Mix is a straight mix of all four shifted inputs, Switched Mix is a mix of all channels that have nothing plugged into the OUT jack, Positive Slice is the sum of all output voltages greater than zero volts, and Negative Slice is the sum of all negative voltages.

By Shifting some channels positive and some negative, the + Slice and - Slice jacks can be used as sub-mix outputs. Also, by running a slow triangle wave into one channel, the remaining channels can be made to "dirty pan" between the Slice jacks: the signals are half-wave rectified as they span between both outputs.

Channels 1+2 and 3+4 are normalized together on the input jacks, which is handy for splitting a signal into two or more altered forms. Jumpers on the back allow you to disable this normalization.

Each channel also has a jumper to make the Scale knob unipolar (no inverting, attenuate only). This is useful for mixing audio instead of CV. A breakout header allows for padding of the signal (useful for fine-tuning a precise voltage such as 1V/oct).

Input and Output headers for connecting to QCD, QPLFO, VCA Matrix, or other manufacturer's modules such as Toppobrillo Mixiplexer or Circuit Abbey Intermix.

Features:

  • Four independent voltage processor channels, with four mix/mingle outputs
  • Each channel has:
  • Input jack
  • Scale knob (from inverted unity, to zero, to unity
  • Shift knob (adds/subtracts DC offset from -9V to +9V)
  • Output jack
  • Red and blue LEDs to indicate + or - voltage, as well as intensity
  • MIX jack outputs sum of all channels
  • MIX SWitch jack outputs sum of all channels with nothing plugged into their output jack
    • SLICE jack outputs positive portion of mix (voltages greater than 0V)
    • SLICE jack outputs negative portion of mix (voltages less than 0V)
  • Red and blue LEDs on all four mix/mingle jacks display what the signal is doing
  • Advanced features
  • Channels 1+2 and 3+4 are normaled together on the input, so plugging into Channel 1 (or 3) will split the signal: A jumper can disable this normalization
  • Scale knob has three ranges that are selectable with jumpers:
  • Bi-polar: -1x to +1x (inverting unity to unity) --default
  • Uni-polar: 0 to +1x (level fader)
  • Boost: 0 to 2x (twice the voltage gain)
  • Input Header (2x4) for connecting the output of a QCD or QPLFO to the SISM's inputs. Plugging into the input jacks overrides the signal on the header
  • Output Header (2x4) for connecting to the input of a VCA Matrix or other compatible module
  • PAD breakout header (2x4) for connecting to a breakout module that applies a pre-set pad (attenuation) to each channel.

Specs:

  • Module size:
  • The SISM is 12HP and 0.86 inches (22mm) deep.
  • Power consumption
  • +12V rail: 51mA max
  • -12V rail: 51mA max

I would like to thank VK for the wonderful sales assistance, service and prices. This was my first purchase with you and it won't be my last. I only wish I'd discovered you years ago!

I had two Grammy wins this year - Ray LaMontagne & Carolina Chocolate Drops. Both made with help from Vintage King!

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.
Martin C.
This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.
Phil T.
The speed of delivery exceeded my expectations! I was VERY pleased that my shipment arrived in time for a scheduled vocal tracking session. The packing insured that my order arrived safely. And the sales staff responded quickly to questions regarding the product.

You guys have excellent customer service and I am excited about the next upgrade I complete on my fifth recording facility. I've been in the studio business for forty plus years. The salesman I worked with at Vintage King was the best of the best. You all rock!
Robby T.
I would recommend Vintage King to any one looking for top-class gear, unbeatable customer service and the best prices on the map!
Jake D.
My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.
Michael D.
From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
Thomas W.
I am a new customer of yours. You guys provided me the absolute best deals in ordering all the equipment to power my brand new recording studio. Your customer service is amazing and i will always deal with you from here on out.
