moving from mono to stereo sound: a logical progression for any synthesist looking to expand their sonic palette. making use of two audio channels, rather than just one, quite literally adds another dimension to the capabilities of a synthesiser.
unfortunately, controlling stereo signals can be a challenge within a modular system. this realisation led to the development of enhance 2: a convenient yet high-fidelity tool for stereo enhancement. it can be used to adjust balance, width and spectral content,
while also opening up a world of mid/side processing; all under voltage control and in just 8 hp.
the primary stereo parameters are balance (moving the sound left or right) and width (making it narrower or wider). the balance circuit uses a true constant-power gain law, while the width stage allows for seamless transitions from pure mono to extra-wide
stereo.
in addition, tone control is provided by a pair of unique, wide-ranging mid/side voltage controlled tilt filters with selectable corner frequency. these make 'cleaning up' a muddy-sounding mix straightforward, but also provide unique binaural effects when
modulated.
mid/side processing encodes the stereo signals into one containing only the mono material (mid), and another containing the differences between both channels (side). apart from the internal tilt filters, mid/side outputs also enable external signal processing
such as compression or reverberation. an integrated mid/side decoder returns the results back to standard stereo. and at all times, a led bar phase meter ensures that phase correlation can be easily maintained.
stereo field modulation, mid/side equalisation and beyond; enhance 2 brings true analogue stereo control to the eurorack world.
