FAQs

What is the primary function of the Mutable Instruments Ears module in a Eurorack setup?

The Mutable Instruments Ears is a contact microphone module that acts as a preamp and envelope follower, allowing you to capture and process audio signals from physical interactions like tapping or scratching.

How does the envelope follower in Mutable Instruments Ears work?

The envelope follower in Ears converts audio signal dynamics into a control voltage (CV), which can be used to modulate other parameters in your modular synth setup, adding expressiveness to your patches.

Can Mutable Instruments Ears be used to trigger other modules?

Yes, the Mutable Instruments Ears can generate gate signals based on the amplitude of the incoming audio, allowing you to trigger other modules or events in your Eurorack system.

What is the size of the Mutable Instruments Ears module?

The Mutable Instruments Ears module has a width of 4HP, making it a compact addition to any Eurorack system.

Is Mutable Instruments Ears compatible with external audio sources?

Yes, Ears can be used with external audio sources, such as microphones or line-level instruments, providing amplification and control voltage outputs for further processing in your modular setup.
