Qu-Bit Electronix EON, $149!

The Qu-Bit Electronix EON is a multifunctional 2HP Eurorack module that serves as an envelope generator, oscillator, and noise source. Designed to maximize functionality within a minimal space, the EON offers three primary modes—Envelope, Oscillator, and Noise—easily selectable via a three-position switch. This versatility makes it an excellent addition for modular synthesists seeking to optimize their system’s efficiency.

Specifications:

  • Width: 2HP
  • Depth: 45mm
  • Power Consumption: +12V: 60mA; -12V: 5mA
  • Inputs:
    • Trigger Input: Activates the envelope or noise functions.
    • CV Input: Modulates parameters depending on the selected mode.
  • Outputs:
    • Main Output: Delivers the signal corresponding to the active mode.
    • Auxiliary Output: Provides additional functionality, such as a triangle wave LFO in Envelope mode or random gates in Noise mode.
  • Country of Manufacture: USA

Functionality: The EON’s three modes offer a range of applications:

  • Envelope Mode: Generates linear or exponential attack-decay envelopes, with the auxiliary output providing a triangle wave LFO.
  • Oscillator Mode: Produces a square wave that tracks 1V/octave, suitable for melodic content. The auxiliary output mirrors the main signal.
  • Noise Mode: Outputs digital noise with controllable downsampling, useful for percussion and sound effects. The auxiliary output emits random gates.

Mode selection is straightforward, allowing users to switch functions on the fly, making the EON a flexible tool in both live performances and studio settings.

Notable Features:

  • High Functionality-to-Size Ratio: Offers multiple essential functions in a compact 2HP footprint.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Simple controls and clear mode selection facilitate quick integration into existing setups.
  • Auxiliary Outputs: Enhance creative possibilities by providing additional modulation sources or gate signals.

Collectability and Market Value: As a discontinued module, the Qu-Bit Electronix EON has become a sought-after piece among modular enthusiasts. Its compact size and multifunctionality contribute to its desirability, often maintaining a stable market value on the used gear market. Musicians and collectors appreciate the EON for its ability to efficiently fill gaps in their Eurorack systems without compromising on features.
