The 2XOR brings exclusive-OR logic processing to the clocks and gates of your eurorack setup. There are two separate 3-input gates, however the top gate (Gate 1) output is normalised to the first input of the bottom gate (Gate 2). This means that with no jack present at Gate 2 In 1, the unit acts as a single 5-input XOR gate with the result at the output of Gate 2 (whilst also having the output of gate 1 available separately).
The unit works as a parity checker. So an odd number of high inputs will result in a high output. Whenever no inputs are high or an even number of inputs are high, the output will be low.
Works across the audio spectrum right up to about 30Khz. Inputting 2 VCOs gives you an MS-20 ring modulator. But don't stop there, adding a third or fourth VCO gives a really rich, fat sound when they are tuned at musical intervals, or thick discordant noise if they are not.
Requires inputs of 0.5V or higher to count as high. Outputs 5V at high and 0V at low.
