Matrice is a 1x3 matrix mixer with its outputs normalized to 3 VCA.

- 1x3 Matrix mixer:

The matrix section allows to mix any of the signals present at the inputs 1, 2 and 3 to any of the outputs A, B and C, with a dedicated attenuator for each input/output pairs. The attenuators have a gain of 1 in maximum position, allowing for precise color tuning. In addition to the attenuators, it is also possible to invert the signals using the invert switches, either before the matrix (PRE) or after the matrix (POST). Used in a RGB processing context, just before the RGB encoder, Matrice allows to reach a great variety of color palettes, especially when using matte/keyed shapes or posterizing.

- Triple VCA:

The VCA section allows to control the amplitude (ie: contrast) of the signals at the outputs of the matrix mixer; either manually with the knobs or through control voltages. When no signal is present at the VCA CV inputs, the VCA knobs acts as attenuator, going from black to max value. Once an external signal is plugged into the CV inputs, the VCA knobs now acts as attenuverter for the CV. TheVCA essentially works as a fade to black, allowing to tame the colors, which is especially useful after the matrix, since it can outputs signals up to 3V, as well as inverting them, that can result in a really bright composition.
