New Systems Instruments Babel

The New Systems Instruments Babel is a 6HP tool for creating massive intermodulation, and a workhorse for analog logic, depending on your use and interpretation of its function.

It has three inputs, which can be arbitrarily increased with the chainable expander.

For each of those inputs, Babel outputs the maximum value (ANY), the minimum value (ALL), and the balanced middle value (XSOME), which follows along the center values of the input waves. What CENTER means is adjustable via knob and CV control.
XSOME is interesting because it has the same general shape as a multiplication function, but with sharper edges. This means that Babel will create ring-mod like intermodulationbut with extra harmonics like those produced with a wavefolder, and with an arbitary number of inputs, instead of just two.

When viewed as a logic module, Babel takes any group of truth values and tells you whether any of them are true (ANY, the equival
