]]> Optx v2 represents nearly two years of engineering and prototyping, and greatly improves upon the features and performance of Optx v1. The module has been completely redesigned from the ground up for the best overall performance possible in 10 HP.

Optx v2 is a pro-quality ADAT lightpipe converter for eurorack modular synthesizers. The DC-coupled module can encode and decode audio signals with extremely low noise, and CV signals with near-zero offset. Additionally, on-board sample clock allows for one-way ADAT output and the ability to be used standalone to interconnect eurorack systems.

Many computer audio interfaces are equipped with one or more pairs of ADAT expansion ports allowing for additional input and output channels. Optx v2 takes full advantage of these often unused ports, providing multi-channel connections directly to and from eurorack systems.

The module accepts any 8-channel ADAT encoded digital signal at the Rx TOSLINK jack (via lightpipe optical cable) and converts it into 8 discrete analog signals. Conversely, Optx v2 accepts 8 discrete analog signals and converts them into an 8-channel ADAT encoded digital signal available at the Tx jack.

When used in conjunction with software such as Bitwig Studio or Ableton CV Tools, Optx v2 is an excellent interface not just for audio, but also control voltages like 1V/oct pitch and gate signals, or LFOs, ADSRs and other modulators.

Optx v2 has been fitted with high-performance op amp input buffers and professional-grade Cirrus Logic analog-to-digital converters with extremely low noise and distortion, maximum dynamic range, and excellent overall detail. The inputs and outputs have very precise level scaling with a range of 20 Vpp (±10 V). Thus a typical eurorack audio signal of 10 Vpp will translate to exactly -6 dBFS, while maintaining an equal amount of headroom.

The module’s high-quality analog outputs, OUT 1-8, are DC-coupled and support both audio and CV (control voltage) signals at all times. The module’s analog inputs, IN 1-8, also accept both audio and CV signals. To ensure the best possible quality and precision, each pair of inputs has a front-panel switch that selects the conversion mode appropriate for each of these two signal types.

In AUDIO mode, the selected input pair is AC-coupled by enabling high-pass filters within the ADC. This guarantees that the audio signals are converted with no DC offset and the best possible signal-to-noise ratio. In CV mode, the selected input pair is DC-coupled, and CV signals are converted with accuracy and precision. When switched into CV mode, the input pair undergoes a self-calibration period of 5 seconds to detect and then actively correct any inherent DC offset.

Optx v2 also provides visual signal indication of the 8 decoded ADAT channels feeding the OUT 1-8 jacks. Each pair of WHITE LEDs indicates the polarity (-Ve left, +Ve right) and relative strength of the signal (±10 V). Audio-rate signals will generally light both LEDs continuously, whereas LFOs will alternate more apparently between the two. Gates, triggers and positive-going envelopes will generally light only the right LED (+Ve).

Features

  • Bi-directional ADAT lightpipe encoding/decoding of 8 analog inputs/outputs
  • Switchable input mode (in pairs) powered by high-performance Cirrus Logic converters
  • AUDIO input mode ensures the highest fidelity possible with ultra-low noise
  • Self-calibrating CV input mode provides exceptional accuracy and near-zero offset (DC-coupled)
  • Precision DC-coupled outputs support both audio and CV signals
  • Internal sample clock permits one-way operation without ADAT input and standalone interconnection of two Optx modules
  • Dual LEDs on each output indicate signal strength and polarity

Specifications

  • Width: 10hp
  • Depth: 38mm
  • Power: +12V 260mA / -12V 130mA
