Logic OR
Discrete Dual Logic
The Antonus Logic OR packs two independent OR gates into a slim 2HP format. True to the Antonus design philosophy, we prioritize “human-scale” ergonomics; even in this narrow width, the module offers ample clearance for manual tweaking, avoiding the cramped layouts often found in Eurorack systems.
Discrete Power for Vintage Integration
Built with a discrete transistor architecture, this module is engineered to handle high-voltage logic levels (+10V). While fully compatible with standard Eurorack gear, it is specifically designed to interface seamlessly with vintage legends like the 2600 and Step Brother.
Simultaneous OR/NOR & Gate Boosting
Each gate provides simultaneous access to both the standard and NOT (inverted) outputs, giving you OR and NOR signals at once. Due to its robust circuit design, this module also serves as an excellent Gate Booster, elevating lower voltage pulses to the high levels required by classic analog hardware.
Reversible Bidirectional Logic
The NOR output features a unique reversible connection. This jack is bidirectional: it can act as a traditional output or be used as an input. By feeding a signal into the NOR output and monitoring the negated side, the module functions as a standalone NOT gate.
Analog Audio-Rate Experimentation
Because it utilizes discrete transistors rather than simple digital chips, the Logic OR excels at high frequencies. Feed audio signals into the inputs to explore metallic textures and “strange” analog modulations. The natural curves of the transistors add a subtle harmonic warmth and character to audio-rate signals that digital logic simply cannot replicate.
Safety First
To protect your system, the module is equipped with a shrouded, polarized power header. This ensures a safe and easy connection, preventing the common risks associated with non-polarized single-line pins.
