The Tone Science Triple Cross module is a design collaboration between electronic musician/composer Ian Boddy and AJH Synth.
It features three independant cross fader and panner channels, and it can be used with both audio and CV signals. Each of the channels can be configured in one of four different ways:
1) One In, One out Linear VCA
2) Two in, One out crossfader
3) One in, Two out panner,
4) Two in, Two out cross fader & reversing panner combined.
Audio rate modulation can also be used on the CV inputs to create Ring modulation and Cross modulation type sounds. Each channel has a dedicated Fade control, CV input, and CV Level attenuverter. These can be used together to bias incoming CV signals.
The L1 and L2 outputs from channels 1 and 2 are normalised to channel 3’s inputs, which also have their own level controls to balance incoming signals. This allows very interesting, complex fading and panning between four different input sources, to either Mono or Stereo outputs..

Ian Boddy has been composing and performing electronic and ambient music since the late 1970’s, becoming one of the best known and loved musicians in these genres. He has also worked extensively in sound design having produced several well known and critically acclaimed sample libraries as well as composing many library music albums. Ian also owns and runs DiN Records, which has well over 100 releases by electronic and ambient artists from across the world. The more recent sub-label, Tone Science, showcases musicians working within the fascinating world of modular synthesis.
Ian has many years of experience with modular synth systems and Eurorack, so we are delighted to be collaborating on a series of modules that allow the easy creation of some of the complex patches that he uses in his music. Ian comes up with the ideas and we herd the electrons to make them real!
The inspiration for the Triple cross came from a complex patch that Ian had created on his vintage Serge modular, which required three separate cross fader modules and a sea of patch cables, but now all of this functionality and more has been compressed into a single 14HP wide Eurorack module. This allows everything from functioning as a three regular VCAs, through to using voltage controlled cross panning to create an evolving mix of four different source signals into a stereo output.
