Dreadbox Utopia BL

A compact collection of modulation and signal utilities that makes a Eurorack patch easier to shape.

Scale, invert and offset

Four attenuverters let you adjust the amount and polarity of incoming signals. Offsets of up to ±10 V provide another way to set the operating range of a control path. These functions are especially useful when a modulation source is musically promising but too strong, moving in the wrong direction or centred at the wrong voltage.

Mix and distribute signals

Four-input, three-output mixing and buffered signal splitting help organise a patch without using several separate utility modules. Combine control sources, create related variations or send a signal to more than one destination while keeping the routing accessible.

Generate movement and harder edges

A voltage-controlled LFO supplies an onboard modulation source. The Pulseriser adds square-wave conversion and distortion possibilities, bringing more characterful treatment alongside the practical utility functions. It can be useful when a smooth signal needs to become more abrupt or rhythmically defined.

Useful space in a small case

This black-panel BL module occupies 10 HP and requires a powered Eurorack case, drawing 40 mA at +12 V and 27 mA at -12 V. Utopia suits a system that has sound sources and modulation but needs more control over how they interact.
