The return of your module is on us. Ritual Electronics implies and accepts no responsibility for harm to person or apparatus caused through operation of this product. Installation 5 Always turn your eurorack case off before plugging or unplugging a module. Do not touch any electrical terminals when attaching any Eurorack bus board cable. As the 1U series does not have a shrouded header, so remember: RED STRIPE DOWN Ritual Electronics Pointeuse requires: 20mA on +12V 11mA on -12V 0mA on +5V You will need 10HP of free space in your Eurorack case to install Pointeuse and 4HP to instal its footswitch expander. The module is 35mm deep. Pointeuse is a 1U module, you will need a 1U rack space, either Intellijel format or Pulplogic format. Overview 6 Trig, Gate, Mute, Switch Everything! Pointeuse is a CV controlled bidirectional analog switch that can be used as a momentary footswitch adapter for Eurorack. Pointeuse has two states. It either connects In/Out to Out/ In I or to Out/In II. You can change its state by pressing a footswitch (via the included adapter expander), the backlit button or by sending a voltage signal into the Trig In input making the module highly interactive and controllable. Pointeuse behavior can be momentary (as long as the button is pressed for example) or latching (the signal switches each time the button is pressed). The switch has a true bidirectionnal behavior (2:1 or 1:2). If no jack is connected to In/Out, a 5V signal will be present alternatively at Out/In I and Out/In II. Pointeuse controls Backlit button Manual control of the switch and LED indication Trig In CV control for the switch Built in comparator on the input triggering at 2.5V Pointeuse Mom Latch Trig In In/Out Common bidirectional jack It is either the common output (2 to 1) or the common input (1 to 2) of the switch. This jack is normalled to +5V if no connection is present. 7 Mom | Latch switch Chose between momentary or latching behavior Out/In I Bidirectional jack I It is either the first input (2 to 1) or first output (1 to 2) of the switch Out/In II Bidirectional jack II It is either the second input (2 to 1) or second output (1 to 2) of the switch Pedal & expander 8 Pointeuse includes a 4HP expander to connect a footswitch pedal as another way to interact with the switch. The expander connects to the back of the module with the included cable. It connects to the FOOT 2-pin header on Pointeuse and to the FOOT 2-pin header on the expander. The cable is made in such way you can not get the orientation wrong. Pointeuse can be used as a crude footswitch adapter. Connect the expander to the module, select between momentary or latching behavior and use one of the Out/In as your output. When the pedal is pressed a 5V gate is generated at either Out/In I or Out/In II. You can chose between "ON when pressed" or "OFF when pressed" by chosing which Out/In jacks you use. This depends on the pedal you are using and its polarity. The LED on the left side of the jacks will help you finding out. Pointeuse should be compatible with virtually all footswitch pedals available. Momentary | latching 9 Mom(entary) When switched to Mom, Pointeuse will change state for the duration of your interaction with it (as long as you press the pedal, the button, or as long as there is a >2.5V CV at the Trig In). When depressed, Pointeuse will go back to its previous state. Latch(ing) When switched to Latch, Pointeuse will change state once the pedal/button is pressed or when the Trig In is >2.5V and hold its state until the next pedal/button press or CV high. Truth table As you have three ways to interact with the module, we wanted to add an extra layer of depth to the module by adding a logic layer in there. The first logic layer takes the Pedal and the Button as inputs. They are XORed together. Meaning if they are both ON at the same time the result will be OFF. The result of the Pedal against Button logic is then XORed again with the CV input. Once again, if both are ON, the result will be OFF. For those of you familiar with logic here is the truth table. 10 Pedal Button CV Output 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 Chaining Two or more Pointeuse can be chained together. By doing so you can switch them all at once and still have independent control over the slaves. To connect them together, use the same cable as the expander, plug it to the MASTER header on the back of your first Pointeuse and to SLAVE header on your second Pointeuse. Repeat the same operation for each Pointeuse down the line. 11
