Inverter

From TheAnalogThing

Inverters are one of the basic computing elements of an analog computer. They provide sign reversal of their single input (Additive inverse for real numbers). Mathematically, an inverter performs OUT = -IN. The Analog Thing features four inverters, laid out in column on the right of the main panel.

Simple use of an Inverter

A single inverter

Connect a single input line to the 1 input. Do not stack multiple input jacks as only a single input signal is allowed (A workaround is possible, see below). At the output, you can stack any number of connector plugs as needed.

Using an inverter as a summer

Together with a XIR, an inverter can be used as a fully featured Summer. To do so, connect the SJ (Summing Junction) jacks of both elements and then use the weighted inputs of the XIR as you would do with a normal Summer.
