Manufacturer's description
Seuils (pronounced [sœj], french word for thresholds) is a module based around a saw animator circuit, with exposed comparator output and boolean logic.
It’s first intent is to phase shift ramp/saw signals, however, using it with other periodic waveforms (triangle, sine) or more complex signals offers some interesting waveshaping.
The input signal goes through a high speed comparator (hard key generator), which will generate a pulse wave. The SHIFT knob and CV will determine the length of this pulse. The resulting signal is available at the front panel LOGIC output.
The pulse is also used to offset part of the input signal, effectively phase shifting a ramp/saw, with the SHIFT knob and CV determining the shift amount. The resulting signal is available on the front panel SHIFT output.
Each channel features the same core circuit when the logic switch is set to COMP (comparator), though each one can be set to produce different boolean logic combinations:
- Channel A features AND gates: when the logic switch is in A&B position, Channel A and Channel B comparator outputs are ANDed together, the resulting signal can then be ANDed again with Channel C when the switch is in (A&B)&C position.
- Channel B features OR gates: when the logic switch is in A|B position, Channel A and Channel B comparator outputs are ORed together, the resulting signal can then be ORed again with Channel C when the switch is in (A|B)|C position.
- Channel C features XOR gates: when the logic switch is in A^B position, Channel A and Channel B comparator outputs are XORed together, the resulting signal can then be XORed again with Channel C when the switch is in (A^B)^C position.
Those combinations are available at the LOGIC output, but are also used to shift the input signal, thus affecting the SHIFT output too.
Three jumpers at the back of the module allows to modify the boundaries of the threshold for each channel individually, from 0V/+1V to -0.5V/+1.5V, this way, if the input signal is exceeding 0V/+1V, the threshold can be extended in order to sweep accross the whole range of the input signal. Here are the basic uses cases:
- 0V/+1V range when shifting single ramps, as extending the threshold to -0.5V/+1.5V can cause an offset on the shift output that may not be desirable.
- -0.5V/+1.5V when processing more complex signals that may exceed 0V/+1V.
- Width: 12HP
- Depth: 42mm
- Power: 200 mA +12V / 0 mA -12V / 0 mA 5V

Shipping methods
All EU orders are shipped via UPS. We offer two service levels:
- UPS Standard – our default shipping option. Delivery times vary by country (see estimated delivery times below).
- UPS Express Saver – next business day delivery to most EU destinations.
Each product page shows the estimated delivery time for your location, so you'll always know what to expect before you order.
Estimated delivery times (Standard shipping)
The times below are estimates in working days from dispatch, based on UPS Standard service. Express Saver delivers by the next business day to most destinations.

These times are estimates and are not guaranteed. Delivery may occasionally take a little longer due to customs processing, local conditions, or carrier delays.
Dispatch times
Orders placed before 15:00 CET (Central European Time) on a working day are normally dispatched the same day. Orders placed after 15:00 CET, or on weekends and public holidays, will be dispatched on the next working day.
If you have an urgent order, please email us at info@signalsounds.eu before placing your order and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch at info@signalsounds.eu if you have questions.
