Bringing this one back out of retirement.
Currently available in my Reverb Store.
There's nothing like an Analog Compressor to warm up your sound.
Make percussion grooves a little punchier, bass a bit snappier, and glue the mix together.
My DC571 module has TWO fully independent channels of no-nonsense audio compression made especially to give your Eurorack some of that subltle swingin' groove.
You can even cascade channel 1 output into channel 2 for even more compression.
The DC571 uses an 80s design dual compander chip (still in production) to work its mojo.
Each channel has controls for input level attenuation, output make-up gain, and a true bypass switch.
The DC571 is hand-crafted in USA in limited quantities.

My DC571 Dual Compressor for Eurorack is Now Available
My DC571 Dual Compressor for Eurorack is now available in my Reverb Store. To operate the DC571:
1) plug in the audio input and output, making sure some sounds are present
2) set the switch up (compress) to activate the effect
3) turn the input knob until you hear clicks/pops (clipping) and then back it down a little
4) set the switch down (bypass) to compare the volume of the original signal
5) set the switch back up and turn the output make-up gain knob until the volume is the same as when you started. You may need to repeat steps 4 & 5, and it’s definitely ok to increase the output a little bit more if so desired! For even more compression, the channels can be cascaded in series. Do this by patching the output of channel 1 into the input of channel 2.

DC571 Dual Channel Audio Compressor Eurorack Prototype
Headphones or quality audio monitors recommended. In this video I demonstrate a prototype of my new DC571 Analog Dual Channel Eurorack Audio Compressor. It will make your bass lines a little punchier, and your percussion grooves a bit more groovy. The way to operate it is simple - the stronger the input signal, the more it compresses. Use the output make-up gain knob to bring the level back up. Both channels are completely independent of one another - so use it for stereo purposes or for two different instruments if you desire. These will be hand-crafted in limited quantities for sale soon, it will have a black front panel w/ white silkscreen lettering. More details on price and availability to be announced later.

Analog Audio Compressor - 1 Minute Demo w/ Eurorack
Today I am testing out an analog audio compressor circuit on the breadboard with a nice percussion groove from Basimilus Iteritas Alter. This analog compressor will eventually become my next Eurorack module. More to be announced when design is finished.
Today's signal path is dead simple:
Basimilus / Delta VCF / Big Sky (Hall Reverb) / Compressor / Out
Clock and Trigger:
Beatstep Pro / Varigate 4 / Basimilus
