DE-5 – SHAKTI

No Input Feedback Mixer

Shakti is a 4hp no-input mixer in eurorack format.

Shakti contains no less than 3 different feedback loops in a very small 4HP package. There are 2 internal loops represented by the pots FEEDBACK and FEEDBACK II.
Where FEEDBACK is a normal signal, FEEDBACK II is an inverted signal and RECEIVE is an external path (one that you send out from the module, through any other modules of your choice and then back again).

When working with feedback all three of these will intermingle fast which means both FEEDBACK pots and RECEIVE knobs will affect each other. A filter is attached to the first feedback path but since all signals will intermingle in this circuit (it is a mixer after all) the filter will affect all three paths.

Starting with the knob in the middle, it has a lowpass filter to the right and high pass to the left. OUTPUT I contains the inverted signal whereas OUTPUT II contains the normal signal. Shakti can be used as a stereo module since the 2 outputs can differ drastically at times.

!!!WARNING! DEALING WITH FEEDBACK CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR EARS AND GEAR SUCH AS OTHER MODULES, SPEAKERS, DAWS, MIXERS ETC. TO BE SURE YOU HAVE HEALTHY LEVELS ALWAYS PLACE AN ATTENUATOR OR ATTENUATED MIXER OUTPUT BETWEEN YOUR MODULAR AND OTHER GEAR. IT MIGHT ALSO OPEN GATES TO UNKNOWN SONIC DIMENSIONS. DJUPVIKS ELEKTRONIK AND THONK TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF GEAR WITHIN YOUR MODULAR OR OUTSIDE IS HARMED BECAUSE OF SHAKTI. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
