Notes: THE SBG-PRO supports mono, stereo, balanced, and unbalanced input and output via 6.35mm jacks with level matching controls with clipping indication. The module features both direct and voltagecontrolled equal power crossfading between wet and dry sources.

Additionally, an expression input, along with the included 'floating ring' cable and conditioned output, ensures safe, voltage-limited CV control of external devices from your modular system.

The module extends its sibling, the original S.B.G, by adding full size stereo balanced jack connections and voltage control focusing more on connectivity with not just pedals but also pro audio equipment including rack effects, 500 Series modules and mixing consoles.

Notes: PM DB25 MKII is an expander output for the MKII versions of the Performance Mixer and Channels.

Pre-fade and Post-fade connections are available for all channels. The DB25 has 16 outputs. All mixer channels are stereo, so one DB25 handles the main PM MKII (either pre or post), and the DB25 can handle 2x Channels (either pre or post).

Simply connect the cable to the Pre or Post headers on the back of the PM MKII or Channels MKII modules to choose pre/post.

The PM MKII has an additional header with both Aux Sends, Master Bus, and Submix Bus.

Connect a DB25 cable of your choice to the front connector and then straight to your DAW or recording interface.

For use with original WMD Performance Mixer, an adapter board can be added on. Please note that width behind panel is increased by 8mm when adapter board is added on. This may require some clever position in your case. The original Performance Mixer still only offers Pre Fader Outputs.

Notes: Easily connect your modular system to the rest of your setup with Out, a compact 2HP stereo line output and headphone module. Despite its small size, it includes everything you need for clear, convenient listening.

The top section features stereo modular-level inputs with LED indicators for quick level monitoring. From there, the signal is routed to both a stereo line output and a dedicated headphone jack, each with independent volume control. Whether you're sending your modular through external effects, recording into an interface, or just monitoring with headphones, Out keeps things simple and efficient.

Notes: Octo I/O is a bi-directional passive Polytip to 3.5mm expander and a Polytip Mult. The expander section lets you break out to each individual voice from a polyphonic module. The mult section lets you mult Polytip polyphonic signals from one source to multiple destinations. For example patching the OCTOSTAGES envelopes to control both your OCTOPASS filters and HEXAGAIN VCAs.

Notes: Voltage-controlled lag processor and slope detector

Transforms stepped notes into smooth acid slides with independent speeds for both upper and lower notes.

The onboard slope detector generates gates while the output is rising or falling, allowing events to be activated when moving to upper or lower voltages.

Additionally, it can convert a gate signal into an Attack-Sustain-Release (ASR) envelope.

The shape control feature helps balance speed versus input range, enabling quicker speed while sliding to further notes allowing for time compensated portamento.

Notes: The LedPressor is a full stereo Diode-based compressor module.
Its unique core adds character and color to any signal passed through it.
The LedPressor can be used as a normal compressor with low input levels, but as the input volume increases and the "nuke" LED lights up, it enters a new territory that combines compressor and overdrive, creating a dynamic overdrive effect.

Get it pumping with the Side Chain
The module features an external sidechain input that accepts audio and CV signals. Only the sidechain signal passes through a high pass filter, which gives the user greater control over the sound shape. The audio signal itself is not affected by the filter.
Parallel compression
The module also includes a mix knob that can be controlled with a dedicated mix CV input, allowing for greater flexibility when blending dry and wet signals. Additionally, it features a momentary bypass button to easily adjust the levels of dry and wet signals.
Feed-Back Or Feed-Forward - it's your choice
The module can be configured with a feed-back or feed-forward topologies with a jumper in the back.
Reverse polarity protection
The module have proper reverse current and over current protection in its power input stage to protect the module in case it was connected the wrong way or connected to a faulty power supply.

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.
