Bartola Keep It Quiet (Black)

Keep it Quiet! (KIQ) is a “Swiss-army” utility designed for orchestrating your patch modulation, mixing jobs and routing the right signal levels (audio and CV) into your modules. This is not a “star” module on its own, it’s rather a quiet helper or a team player – like most utility modules. KIQ fills many gaps out there as manufacturers compromise on input attenuators and level controls to reduce footprint and costs.

The module is 8HP and comprises of 4 independent precision signal conditioners made out of inverter switches and attenuators to provide wider control and granularity for performance. The outputs of these signal conditioner blocks are cascaded in a clever arrangement which allows you to create complex modulation outputs. It also has a mixer which is always running in the background with a soft-saturation output to ensure you don’t hard-clip your mixes.
