Dear Community,

I am reworking my line level input-module, LIN. This module boosts signals from headphone outputs to Eurorack levels.

Right now its just an inverting opamp amplifier before it goes to a high gain VCA. I was wondering if adding an 1:1 audio transformer on the input would be a more "clean" solution? A small 600:600 transformer is what I had mind, would that work? It should remove ground offsets / humming.

Also, is it still gonna be possible to feed Eurorack level signals into the module with the transformer installed? This is a bonus feature to allow for clipping/distortion.

I attached a picture of my idea.

Please let me know what you think.

Dear Community,

For an Eurorack module, I want to output an inverted envelope whenever I trigger a kick drum for sidechaining. But now I wonder, I have an envelope for the volume of the kickdrum and another envelope for the pitch. The pitch envelope is really short (used for the punchy transient) while the volume envelope is generally longer and is adjustable. Which envelope is generally used for sidechaining and which one should I output?
