Ribbons is a 3-bit digitizer module for your EuroRack video synthesizer. Slice your video sources and waveforms into eight discrete bands which invoke the look of primitive digital graphics and video colorizers from the 1970s and 1980s. 

Implemented with 9 high speed analog comparators and CMOS logic, the digitization technique employed by Ribbons lacks any pixel clock or quantized time base.  This reveals a surreal and silky quality to the image under modulation, which we feel is absent from modern digital video.  

Features

• Hard edged binary 3-bit ADC and Window Key outputs
• Positive and negative 3-bit DAC outputs provide stepped analog waveforms
• Center and Span controls and CV inputs allow modulation of sampling offset and scale
• Enable and Disable inputs extend utility for masking and compositing in the patch
