What we say about the Tobinski Interpolating Scanner...
The Tobinski Interpolating Scanner is the perfect companion to the Harmonic Timing Generator, turning it into a powerful harmonic oscillator, but it's also a super-powerful mixing/routing module in its own right.
Manufacturer's description
This feature-packed Eurorack module combines an 8-channel interpolating scanner with a powerful array of 8 independent VCAs, delivering unparalleled flexibility for dynamic audio and CV routing. Designed for creative sound design and intricate signal processing, this module is a powerhouse for any modular synth setup.
Features
1. Interpolating Scanner
- 8-Channel Interpolation: Smoothly blend between up to 8 stages with high precision, using either bipolar CV or manual control.
- Scan Stage & Width Control: Dedicated controls for selecting active stages and defining the range of the interpolation window.
- Multiple Outputs: Individual outputs for odd stages, even stages, and a combined all stages output provide versatile routing options.
2. Integrated VCAs
- 8 VCAs with CV Control: Each VCA has its own dedicated control voltage input, allowing for intricate amplitude shaping.
- Mix Outputs: Summed outputs for odd channels, even channels, and all channels, perfect for mixing duties or creating complex stereo effects.
- Subtractive Mixing: Individual VCA outputs are excluded from the mix outputs when patched, allowing for flexible routing and advanced signal processing.
3. Parallel and Flexible Signal Flow
- Parallel Input Routing: The 8 inputs feed both the scanner and VCAs simultaneously, making it easy to use the module in multiple roles at once.
- Switchable Sliders: 8 high-quality sliders can control input levels to the scanner, the VCAs, or both, adapting to your workflow needs.
Creative patching examples
Stereo Mixer: Use 2 scanner channels and route their outputs through the odd and even mix outputs to create a dynamic stereo mix.
4-Channel Mixer: Combine 4 inputs through the VCA sections and use the mix outputs to create a versatile sub-mixer for blending multiple signals.
VCA Control: Independently use 2 or more VCAs for precise amplitude modulation of separate signals.
All the above options can be implemented simultaneously, making this module an exceptionally powerful tool for complex patches.
Expandable with Tobinski Harmonic Timing Generator (HTG)
This module seamlessly integrates with the Tobinski Harmonic Timing Generator (HTG) via an internal ribbon cable that goes to the switched (normalled) connections of the input jack sockets. The scanner inputs automatically link to the HTG outputs via sine shaping circuitry, enabling the two modules to function as a sinewave harmonic oscillator. This pairing unlocks harmonic interpolation and complex timbre creation, expanding your sonic palette.
The Tobinski 8-Channel Scanner & VCA is a must-have for modular enthusiasts seeking a high-performance, multi-functional module. Its combination of interpolation, amplitude control, and flexible routing makes it a cornerstone of any Eurorack system. Whether you're mixing, modulating, or crafting harmonic textures, this module delivers endless creative potential.
- Width: 18HP

How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK it's normally around £4 for order values under £150, and free above that. Shipping to mainland EU is typically between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of Parcelforce, DPD, Royal Mail and UPS for the UK, and for international orders it's either Royal Mail, UPS, DHL or FedEx depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 15:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes FedEx or UPS may come a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Shipping times
Since April 2020 the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer.
There is absolutely nothing we can do about this unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Saturday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 15:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday delivery (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). The success rate with DPD is about 95% so it's worth a punt most of the time. Please note that if you select Saturday shipping on an order placed earlier in the week, we'll wait until Friday to ship it.
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 if you have questions.
