Compare 2

Joranalogue Audio Design

Dual analog window comparator with logic section. Two independent comparators detect when an input signal falls within a user-defined voltage window, with complementary gate outputs and a logic section combining both comparator outputs into AND, OR, XOR, and flip-flop signals.540

Capabilities 2

Analog Logicanalog-logic
Logic section at the bottom combines both comparator gate outputs into AND, OR, XOR, and FF signals, each with a status LED.540
Window Comparatorwindow-comparator
Two independent analog window comparators, each with shift and size parameters (knob and CV), input normalled left-to-right, with gate and NOT gate outputs plus three-color LED status indicators.540

Jacks 14 — 6 in / 8 out

NameSignalVoltageDescription
Inputs (6)
L SHIFT CVcvCV input for the left comparator's shift (window center) parameter. Normalled to the right shift CV input. Accepts negative voltages.540
L SIGNAL INmixedLeft comparator signal input. Normalled to the right comparator input. Accepts both CV and audio signals.540
L SIZE CVcvCV input for the left comparator's size (window width) parameter. Normalled to right size CV input. Accepts negative voltages; negative size means output never becomes active.540
R SHIFT CVcvCV input for the right comparator's shift (window center) parameter. Normalled from left shift CV input.540
R SIGNAL INmixedRight comparator signal input. Normalled from left comparator input. Accepts both CV and audio signals.540
R SIZE CVcvCV input for the right comparator's size (window width) parameter. Normalled from left size CV input.540
Outputs (8)
ANDgate0V to 5VLogic AND output: active (+5V) only when both comparators are simultaneously active.540
FFgate0V to 5VFlip-flop output: toggles state on each rising edge of the XOR signal.540
L NOTgate0V to 5VLeft comparator complementary (inverted) gate output. Active when input signal is outside the window.540
L OUTgate0V to 5VLeft comparator main gate output. Active (+5V) when input signal is inside the window, inactive (0V) otherwise.540
ORgate0V to 5VLogic OR output: active (+5V) when one or both comparators are active.540
R NOTgate0V to 5VRight comparator complementary (inverted) gate output. Active when input signal is outside the window.540
R OUTgate0V to 5VRight comparator main gate output. Active (+5V) when input signal is inside the window, inactive (0V) otherwise.540
XORgate0V to 5VLogic XOR output: active (+5V) when exactly one comparator is active. Rising edges also toggle the FF output.540

Parameters 4

NameTypeRangeBehavior
L SHIFTknob-5V – 5VSets the center position of the left comparator's detection window. Added to L SHIFT CV input to produce the final window center.540
L SIZEknob≤10VControls the width of the left comparator's detection window, from nearly zero (a few mV) to 10V. Added to L SIZE CV input. Negative size (via CV) means the comparator output never activates.540
R SHIFTknob-5V – 5VSets the center position of the right comparator's detection window. Added to R SHIFT CV input to produce the final window center.540
R SIZEknob≤10VControls the width of the right comparator's detection window, from nearly zero (a few mV) to 10V. Added to R SIZE CV input. Negative size (via CV) means the comparator output never activates.540
