Steady State Fate Positronic Transient Gate Sketchbook by VoltageCtrlR

"The compositions in this album feature live one take recordings of my experiments with the Steady State Fate Positronic Transient Gate eurorack synth module.

These synth patches give you an idea of the sonic possibilities that this module is capable of. The patch diagrams are visual expressions of the sounds heard on the album, some of the pieces started out as visual diagrams for me to interpret similar to the way a composer sits down and writes notation on staff paper.

Given the non linear nature of analog synth composing... some of these pieces capture the chaos and movement of the sounds. I’ve included patch notes for the people that don’t have interest in trying to decipher my diagrams. I encourage you to dissect and re interpret the patches in this sketchbook with your own artistic style and energy.

Special thanks to Andrew Morelli, the mastermind that designed the PTG for all the support on the project. I would also like to say thanks to the Muff Wiggler community that always keeps me inspired and on my toes.

"16 steps x 8 tracks of performance sequencing bliss and/or mayhem. The ultimate hardware pattern sequencer for both MIDI and analog synths and drums. So much control readily available at your fingertips. It is a rare bird, there were only ~320 of these wonderful machines produced. It has the latest OS. I never thought I would part with this but I am moving and ready to part with this for the right price to help with my relocation expenses..." SN 260393

D-Lab Electronics Classic Multi-Plexer

See the D-Labs label at the bottom of this post for previous posts including audio demos. The following description if from the auction:

"This is the D-Lab Multiplexer (also known as Classic Multi-Plexer).
This is a wavefom synth box that is really cool, and very difficult to find.

Unlike many similar synth boxes, the Multi-Plexer has an input, not just an output, so it can be used with other guitar pedals or other synth modules, or maybe even a microphone!

I used it with guitar signal input, and also used it with other synth modules in front of it (such as the BBS module in my other auction). Fun to experiment with other pedals in the chain, like bitcrushers, octave, fuzz, delay etc. It likes to see a fairly strong guitar signal.

It's pretty difficult to explain what it sounds like, but there is a synth signal with depth and sustain that interacts with the input signal, and there is also a modulation effect with rate and frequency. It's like there's a phaser and a pulse effect hiding in there.

In my experience the Multi-Plexer was useful for adding some lower frequencies and overtones to other synths placed in front of it. It gave a whole new dimension to the BBS synth.

The only thing I don't like about this pedal is that when you turn the power off it does not pass signal.
To get around this problem I used a true bypass looper to engage and disengage it.

I had a "synth pedalboard" going built with a handful of wacky pedals that I am selling now.
I decided to part it out only because I need the cash.
This pedal has been tested and is in good working condition.

Pedal has moderate wear, some scratches and scrapes in the faceplate and finish,
most notably a ding just beneath the Rate knob on the edge.

Includes original manual, and RCA Y to 1/4" cable (originally included), I guess this is for using the Multi-Plexer with turntables, MP3 players and the like? I never used or tested the cable, but it looks like it should work just fine.
Uses 2 9V batteries for operation. Has a power toggle to preserve battery power."
