The 2HP Eurorack VU Meter Module offers a compact and efficient way to monitor audio signals within your modular synthesizer setup. This module features a 10-pixel RGB LED strip that provides clear, real-time visual feedback of your signal levels. The LEDs shine through a transparent PCB panel, adding both functionality and a subtle aesthetic touch to your rack.
Key Features:
- Real-time Signal Visualization: The module uses a 10-pixel RGB LED strip to accurately display the amplitude of audio signals in real-time.
- Multiple Color Schemes: Select from 25 different color schemes to match your visual preferences and functional needs.
- Three-color Audio Schemes with Clipping (5x): Different segments of the LEDs indicate safe levels, moderate levels, and clipping above 5V.
- 0-5V Voltage Schemes (5x): Cover the entire LED range to display voltage levels from 0-5V with smooth color transitions.
- Colorful Audio Schemes without Clipping Indication (5x): Various smooth color transitions for aesthetic signal display without specific clipping indicators.
- 0-10V Voltage Schemes (5x): Each LED represents 1V, covering the range from 0-10V.
- Single Color VU Schemes with Clipping LEDs (5x): Single color for safe levels and red for clipping above 5V.
- Voltage Measurement Ranges:
- Standard Range (0-5V): Suitable for regular voltage measurements.
- Extended Range (0-10V): For higher voltage measurements with each LED representing 1V.
- Audio Schemes: Include a clipping range for signals above 5V.
- Inactivity Mode: The module enters a psychedelic mode with smooth color transitions when no signal changes are detected for a specified duration.
- Dot Mode: Option to light up only one LED at a time, indicating the peak signal level.
- Button Control: A single button allows for easy switching between color schemes and toggling of Dot Mode. Long-press to switch modes, short-press to cycle through color schemes.
- Memory Retention: The last chosen color scheme is saved in EEPROM, ensuring the module starts with the preferred scheme after power cycles.
