The main porpoise with the INS-2MX is, together
with MX-4S, stand alone or other module(s), insert effects in the audio (or
control signals) chain.
The INS-2MX consist of two VC amplifiers, two insert
VC amplifiers and controllers. All parameters can be controlled manually (with
knobs) or by external signals. The main VCA works in a semi-logarithmic mode.
The semi-logarithmic transfer function is much more practical than a true
logarithmic because it's "imitates" the natural behaviour of volume controllers
All VC amplifiers accept both DC and AC signals.
The INS-2MX has two outputs
(a single channel); a mixed signal output and SEND output for an external effect
device(s). The MIX controller combines incoming (dry) signal with processed
signal from an external effect device.
The MIX LEVEL controls outgoing
(output MIX) and the SEND output. External devices (effects) are, usually,
inserted between SEND and RETURN sockets. The INS-2MX can also be used as
morphing device; two signals are coupled to VCA's two inputs (inputs AUDIO and
INSERT). The morphed outgoing signal (MIX output) is controlled by knob (MIX) or
CV signal (MIX/LEVEL CV) and attenuation by knob (MIX LEVEL) or by CV signal
(VCA/LEVEL CV).
