Eurorack Cheat Sheet
Overview
Vector Space is an analog CV/mixing processor that combines 3 input sources into 17 unique, interrelated outputs for complex modulation and voltage processing.
- Maximum input/output voltage: ±10V
- Accepts and generates CV/audio signals

Switch Function |
| i |
Main CV/Audio Input 1 |
±5V or 0–10V |
++ / +- |
Choose bipolar (+/-5V) or unipolar (0–10V) operation. Switch acts as an offset when toggled. |
| j |
Main CV/Audio Input 2 |
±5V or 0–10V |
++ / +- |
As above |
| k |
Main CV/Audio Input 3 |
±5V or 0–10V |
++ / +- |
As above |
- Switches ("++/+-") above each input select unipolar or bipolar range for that channel.
- Offset: Switching also offsets voltage regardless of unipolar/bipolar for live use/performance.
Outputs
Cube Outputs (8 total)
- Location: Corners of the "cube" graphical diagram
- Signal: In- and out-of-phase combinations of i, j, k
- LEDs: Green (positive), Red (negative)
- Voltage Range: Typically within ±10V
- Usage: Quadrature LFO, panned audio, logic combinations
Plane Outputs (6 total)
- Location: Centers of the cube's faces/intersections
- Signal: Mix of 2x rectified inputs + one in/out of phase input
- LEDs: Gold (positive), Red (negative)
- Special: Outputs are always skewed positive, can double modulation frequency if input oscillator is bipolar
- Voltage Range: 0–10V typical (rectification skews toward positive)
Sphere Outputs (3 total)
- Location: Center column, with special LED indicators
- Outputs:
- Sphere: Sum of all rectified inputs (maximal "distance from center")
- LED: Pink/purple nearby
- Voltage Range: 0–10V typical
- NegSphere: Inverted Sphere output (negative sum)
- Voltage Range: 0 to –10V typical
- UnSphere: "Distance to closest edge"; +5V when inputs are zero, drops as point moves outward
- LED: White
- Voltage Range: +5V (center), drops towards 0V (edges)
- Usage: Randomization, audio, special morphs/envelopes
Controls
- 3 Input Switches (labelled ++/+-):
- Set for unipolar (0–10V) or bipolar (–5V to +5V) range for each input jack (i, j, k).
- Act as live offset for additional performance modulation.
Voltage Ranges
- Input: ±5V (bipolar) or 0–10V (unipolar) for all three input jacks
- Output: Up to ±10V (audio or CV) for all 17 outputs
Patch Tips
- Generative counterpoint: Three sequencers/randoms into i/j/k, Plane outs → quantizers → VCOs.
- Ultimate LFO logic: Three LFOs into inputs, use Plane/Cube/Sphere outs for complex modulations.
- Spatialization (Quad/Cubic): Joystick to i/j, Cube outs to VCAs for quad panning; add k for cubic.
- Vector Synthesis: Five VCO waveshapes → VCAs → mixer, VCAs modulated from Cube/UnSphere/joystick for timbre morphing.
- Timbral garden: Three close-frequency VCOs into i/j/k, audition all outputs for rich combinations/panning.
Installation Notes
- Fits any Eurorack case with +12V/-12V supply.
- Current draw: ~150 mA per rail
- Ribbon cable: Red stripe DOWN (marked "STRIPE")
