intellijel Mind Meld Eurorack Module
Product Information
The Mind Meld is an expansion module designed by Intellijel for the Livewire Vulcan dual LFO. This module serves three primary functions:
- Replace the rear jumpers used for waveform selection on the Vulcan with 3-position switches.
- Allows external input to the logic circuits.
- Adds reset control to each LFO.
Specifications
- Module Name: Mind Meld
- Manufacturer: Intellijel Designs
- Compatible with: Livewire Vulcan dual LFO
Product Usage Instructions
MAX Circuit
The MAX circuit in the Vulcan allows you to choose the signal source for the left side of the circuit. Follow these steps:
- Plug an external signal into Input 1 to bypass the Vulcan’s internal connection from LFO A. The output of the MAX circuit is on the Vulcan.
- Plug an external signal into Input 2 to bypass the Vulcan’s internal connection from LFO B. The output of the MAX circuit is on the Vulcan.
- Use Switch 3 to select the internal signal source for the left side of the Vulcan MAX circuit. If no external signal is plugged in, signals are taken from Vulcan LFO A.
- Use Switch 4 to select the internal signal source for the right side of the Vulcan MAX circuit. If no external signal is plugged in, signals are taken from Vulcan LFO B.
MIN Circuit
The MIN circuit in the Vulcan allows you to choose the signal source for the left side of the circuit. Follow these steps:
- Plug an external signal into Input 5 to bypass the Vulcan’s internal connection from LFO A. The output of the MIN circuit is on the Vulcan.
- Plug an external signal into Input 6 to bypass the Vulcan’s internal connection from LFO B. The output of the MIN circuit is on the Vulcan.
- Use Switch 7 to select the internal signal source for the left side of the Vulcan MIN circuit. If no external signal is plugged in, signals are taken from Vulcan LFO A.
- Use Switch 8 to select the internal signal source for the right side of the Vulcan MIN circuit. If no external signal is plugged in, signals are taken from Vulcan LFO B.
SUM Circuit
The SUM circuit in the Vulcan allows you to choose the signal source for the left side of the circuit. Follow these steps:
- Plug an external signal into Input 9 to bypass the Vulcan’s internal connection from LFO A. The output of the SUM circuit is on the Vulcan.
- Plug an external signal into Input 10 to bypass the Vulcan’s internal connection from LFO B. The output of the SUM circuit is on the Vulcan.
- Use Switch 11 to select the internal signal source for the left side of the Vulcan SUM circuit. If no external signal is plugged in, signals are taken from Vulcan LFO A.
- Use Switch 12 to select the internal signal source for the right side of the Vulcan SUM circuit. If no external signal is plugged in, signals are taken from Vulcan LFO B.
DIFF Circuit
The DIFF circuit in the Vulcan allows you to choose the signal source for the left side of the circuit. Follow these steps:
- Plug an external signal into Input 13 to bypass the Vulcan’s internal connection from LFO A. The output of the DIFF circuit is on the Vulcan.
- Plug an external signal into Input 14 to bypass the Vulcan’s internal connection from LFO B. The output of the DIFF circuit is on the Vulcan.
- Use Switch 15 to select the internal signal source for the left side of the Vulcan DIFF circuit. If no external signal is plugged in, signals are taken from Vulcan LFO A.
- Use Switch 16 to select the internal signal source for the right side of the Vulcan DIFF circuit. If no external signal is plugged in, signals are taken from Vulcan LFO B.
RESET Control
The Mind Meld module also adds a reset control to each LFO. The reset control allows you to reset the LFO to its starting point. This can be useful for synchronizing with other modules or creating specific rhythmic patterns.
FAQ
- Q: What is the purpose of the Mind Meld module?
- A: The Mind Meld module is an expansion module designed to enhance and expand the functionality of the Livewire Vulcan dual LFO. It replaces rear jumpers, allows external input to logic circuits, and adds reset control to each LFO.
- Q: How many primary tasks does the Mind Meld module perform?
- A: The Mind Meld module performs three primary tasks: replacing rear jumpers with switches, allowing external input to logic circuits, and adding reset control to each LFO.
- Q: How do I select the internal signal source for each circuit in the Vulcan?
- A: Use the designated switches (3 and 4 for the MAX circuit, 7 and 8 for the MIN circuit, 11 and 12 for the SUM circuit, and 15 and 16 for the DIFF circuit) to select the internal signal source. If no external signal is plugged in, signals are taken from the respective LFO A.

RESET -
Reset pulse input A. The reset circuit is positive edge triggered and will hold the Vulcan LFO in reset while the signal is high. It is recommended to use a short pulse here.
Input A is normally input B which means if nothing is plugged into input B, both LFO A and LFO B will reset. To break this normal plug a cable into input B. -
