This comprehensive guide explores the versatile TLM Audio Matt Shades Clone module, a perfect 1:1 clone of the Mutable Instruments Shades module. Built in Germany with high-quality standards, it offers a range of features including mixing audio sources or CVs, adding offsets to CVs, and changing their polarity. The module acts as a companion for other modules, allowing you to transpose sequencer outputs without compromising V/O tracking, attenuate/invert CVs, and control parameters of other modules. With an input impedance of 100k and DC-coupled inputs, it utilizes low-distortion audio op-amps and thin film 0.1% resistors for improved transparency in audio mixing applications. Additionally, it boasts a stable and precise voltage reference independent of power supply fluctuations.
