With professional-grade outputs, the SSL 2+ MKII delivers 120 dB dynamic range, allowing you to hear every detail in your productions - from the most subtle riff to the deepest bassline. All outputs are DC-coupled, enabling you to send CV (control voltages) to synthesisers.

The SSL 2+ MKII features independent headphone outputs conveniently located on the front panel. These re-engineered outputs (featuring high-current NJM headphone amps) are capable of driving any type of headphones. Now boasting a jaw-dropping 119.5 dB dynamic range (MK I previously 111 dB), you have all the performance and clarity needed for accurate monitoring in any environment. SSL 2+ MKII allows you to create separate mixes for the artist and engineer.

The SSL 4000 series consoles (often referred to as '4K') are renowned for imparting a unique 'mojo' to sounds and instruments that pass through them. This mojo comes from multiple stages of harmonic distortion from compressor VCAs, VCA faders, and other crucial components such as the transistor mix amps. Using modern components, SSL has developed a circuit that distils the two essential characteristics of the 4K sound into a single design. Legacy 4K Analogue Enhancement injects a controlled amount of finely-tuned, sweet-sounding harmonic distortion and a 'forward' yet musical high-frequency EQ boost into the signal path, giving your sound the 4K mojo and presence that artists and engineers have loved for decades.

Front-access jack sockets provide convenient access to 2 instrument DI inputs and 2 independent headphone outputs. On the rear, SSL 2+ MKII provides Neutrik XLR Combo sockets for Mic/Line inputs, four balanced outputs, 5 pin DIN MIDI I/O and the USB connector.

Whether it's the professional-grade mic preamps, Neutrik XLR and jack connectors and Alps pots, or the exceptional level of performance delivered from next-gen converters - all SSL products, including SSL 2+ MKII, offer pro studio quality, from the front to the back.

Notes: Sonora is a spectral mixing output module that aims to be the ultimate sound stage of a modular setup. A place where all your mixes meet and find a stereophonic solution for your final track thanks to its twelve fixed panning inputs that allow you to give each track its own space and importance in the stereo field.
While being a 12 inputs summing mixer, Sonora also features a LED meter, a soft clipping limiter circuit at the output stage, a headphone output section with loudness indicators and 3.5mm pro line output jacks.

Notes: Thererec is a 6hp smart dual-function generator based on a different approach! Two modern proximity sensors have replaced all the Attack/Decay thing, and this not only saved a lot of space but also turned Thererec into a whole new thing: a fusion between THEREmin gestural expressiveness and a tape RECorder,

Thererec, indeed, can quickly capture your hand movements and translate them into complex Envelopes and LFOs, adding a lot of expressiveness to your set. Once recorded, your movements can be mangled in both time and amplitude; they can be cycled or triggered in one-shot mode, letting you create complex but synchronized control voltage streams.

A straightforward movement with immediate feedback: move your fingers, listen, and connect yourself to the environment. Your body will do the rest.

Thererec sensors will track your movements to generate a voltage flow, and the LEDs and the CV outputs will reflect those movements.

Notes: Toolbox is the newest essential utility module for your modular system. It's designed to summarize and replace all those necessary small one-function modules, often overlooked due to their space and cost requirements. With a compact 12hp design, it offers a comprehensive selection of carefully curated blocks to expand and enhance the potential of every patch. The module is also specifically designed for internal interaction, allowing the combination of various basic blocks to achieve compelling outcomes, from complex rhythm creation to unusual sound shaper. Every system needs a Toolbox!

Since VCAs are always not enough, the first two blocks on the top row consist of two linear and very fast VCAs, which are also great for AM modulation. They are arranged from left to right: input (DC coupled), control voltage input (ranging from 0 to 8V), and output. The two inputs and control voltages are normalized from left to right, facilitating easy stereo operation. These VCAs, designed primarily for voltage attenuation, are versatile tools that excel in scenarios requiring linear response. With audio, their true strengths shine when applied to amplitude modulation (AM) scenarios, where the benefits of linear control become quite significant. Although they are optimized for AM and voltage control, using exponential envelopes with these VCAs can transform them into two highly effective and fast VCAs for audio applications.

The threshold CV (0-8V) is crucial for the functionality of the blocks labeled with an asterisk (*): AND/OR gates, sequential switches, and flip-flops. By default, the threshold for each block (the voltage that must be reached at every input for the circuit to operate) is set very low, allowing almost any positive signal to be used. By increasing the threshold with an external voltage, you will change the point at which the circuits marked with the * begin to operate. This may seem a little tricky at first, but once you master all the functionality of the Toolbox, the Threshold CV rarely found in other Eurorack modules will open up many more possibilities!

Still composed of two identical parts, the second and third rows contain two blocks of two-channel summing (A & B). This region offers many ways to combine two signals. From left to right, input A, B, SUM out inverted SUM out, and two Boolean operators: AND/OR While any input signal can be used here, the first two outputs are primarily intended for audio sources. In contrast, the Boolean outputs are more suitable for summing gates and logic signals. This setup also allows for the use of both logic and analog signals together; don't hesitate to experiment with Boolean operators using analog or audio signals.For example, connecting two different LFOs to the input of the summing section can create many gate rhythms from the two Boolean outputs by varying the threshold with external voltages.

Summing mixers/Mult Out: This section consists of two 3-input summing mixers connected in series: the output of the upper mixer is routed to the first input of the lower mixer, allowing you to combine a total of five signals with two outputs available. To break this connection, insert a patch cable into the first input of the lower mixer. This action separates the two sections, enabling you to sum two sets of three signals each. Additionally, the lower section includes a multed output by default.

A bidirectional sequential switch is located at the center of the module and labeled with three "I/O" tags. This often overlooked component allows for a wide range of functions, from the most practical to the most creative. When a voltage exceeding the threshold level is applied to the * input, the switch connects the upper left jack to the lower right one. If the voltage is below the threshold, the lower left jack is connected instead. Being bidirectional, each I/O can function as both an input and an output, enabling a 2:1 or 1:2 configuration. Try using the switch at audio rate; this can function as a versatile oscillator waveform shaper. Think of something other than this block as a simple channel switcher!

On the right side of the sequential switch, we have a more classic block: the flip-flop. This block outputs a square wave at half the frequency of any signal applied to the input, whether audio or gate. Two flip-flops are available, which can be used individually or normalized in series. This block is handy for creating sub-octaves of square format from any sound or as a clock divider.

Offset / Attenuverters: Located at the bottom are two offset and attenuverting channels.This section comprises two identical blocks that can easily attenuate, invert, and offset any input signal. Each block features an input jack, one output, and two small knobs. The first knob functions as an attenuverter, allowing you to invert and scale the signal at the same moment. The second knob, the offset, adds a static voltage of +/-0-8V to the resulting output. This functionality is crucial when seeking a more refined control over voltage or a signal. Without any signal at the input, you can use the offset knob as a manual control generator for any control voltage (CV) in your system. For example, try to change the threshold with it.
