Valley Amalgam

Valley Amalgam is a stereo, multi-mode signal multiplier, combiner, masher. It is beyond your typical ‘Ring Mod’ multiplier, exploring the different methods of amalgamating two signals.

This is an authorised port of the popular module “Amalgam” by Dale Johnson for the VCV Rack ecosystem.

All of the controls on Amalgam have CV inputs available allowing for full automation of all parameters.

Knobs

• Gain: Cuts or saturates the input signal of either signal input.
• Type: Sets the method of combining.
• Param A: Controls parameter ‘A’ of the current combination method.
• Param B: Controls parameter ‘B’ of the current combination method.

Buttons

• DC: DC coupling

Inputs

• X and Y: The stereo X and Y signal inputs.
• Type CV: CV input that sets the current ‘Type’, relative to the ‘Type’ knob.
• Param A and B CV: CV input that sets Param value, relative to the corresponding ‘Param’ knob.

Outputs

• Z: Main stereo output of the module.
• L/R AND and XOR: AND and XOR outputs where each channel of X is AND’d or XOR’d with the corresponding Y channel e.g. Left AND = XL AND YL.
• Pulses: These outputs are pulses that are derived from the left and right Z outputs, both single and double (or octave doubled) pulses.

Here is a Youtube video about Amalgam being used in VCV to get an idea of the capabilities of this little beauty.
