DII·ONE is a compact MIDI controller and routing hub designed for modern hybrid music setups.   It combines USB MIDI, hardware MIDI, and a CV clock output in a single device, allowing all functions to operate simultaneously without compromises. digital instrument interface one / usb midi interface and controller / 0 HP ⇣ DII·ONE is a compact MIDI controller and routing hub designed for modern hybrid music setups. It combines USB MIDI, hardware MIDI, and a CV clock output in a single device, allowing all functions to operate simultaneously without compromises. key features Compact USB MIDI controller with hardware MIDI I/O and CV clock output 4 programmable buttons (CC or Note, momentary or latching) 4 programmable knobs (assignable to any MIDI CC) USB MIDI to and from computer TRS MIDI In and Out (5-pin DIN compatible via adapter cable Type-A) CV Clock output for modular synthesizers (0–5 V) Hardware-based MIDI Learn Clock division directly from the device All functions usable at the same time → documents DII_ONE_QUICK_START_GUIDE.pdf ST_Modular_DII_ONE_Configurator_v7_2_0.zip description / manual The control surface of the DII·ONE MIDI controller is intentionally minimal and focused: Four freely programmable pushbuttons and four knobs provide direct access to the most important parameters without unnecessary complexity. Each button can be configured to send MIDI CC or Note messages and can operate in either momentary or latching mode, making them suitable for triggers, toggles, transport functions, or performance controls. The four knobs offer smooth and precise control over continuous parameters. Each knob can be assigned to any MIDI CC and adjusted in range, sensitivity, and response. This allows slow, detailed parameter changes as well as fast and expressive movements during live performance. Connection options are designed for maximum flexibility. Via USB, the DII·ONE provides bidirectional MIDI communication with a computer and is class-compliant, requiring no driver installation. It integrates seamlessly with all common DAWs and can be mapped instantly using MIDI Learn. In addition to USB MIDI, the DII·ONE features TRS MIDI In and Out for direct connection to hardware synthesizers. Using appropriate adapters, it is fully compatible with standard 5-pin DIN MIDI connections. This allows the controller to act as a bridge between computer-based setups and external hardware or even between to hardware synths. A dedicated CV Clock output converts incoming MIDI clock signals (from USB or TRS MID IN) into stable 0–5 V analog pulses, enabling modular synthesizers to stay perfectly synchronized with a DAW or hardware sequencer. Clock divisions can be selected directly on the device, offering a wide range of rhythmic relationships from straight timing to more complex divisions. MIDI routing can be adapted to different workflows using selectable MIDI Thru modes . The DII·ONE can operate as a pure controller, a MIDI interface, or a bidirectional routing hub. USB-to-TRS routing allows the computer to control external gear, while TRS-to-USB routing enables recording MIDI from hardware into a DAW. For advanced setups, bidirectional routing is available, allowing all connected systems to interact simultaneously. The integrated MIDI Learn function makes assigning controls fast and intuitive. After activating Learn mode, moving a control on the DII·ONE and sending a MIDI message from a DAW or synthesizer completes the assignment, which is then stored permanently in the device. Once configured, the DII·ONE operates fully standalone without requiring a computer. For deeper customization, the optional web-based configurator gives you complete control, from button behavior and knob response to MIDI routing, clock settings, filtering, and live MIDI monitoring. In addition to the basic functions, you can also set up enhanced MIDI controls, such as fade-ins and fade-outs on pushbuttons, or use a single knob to control two CC values simultaneously, for example for crossfades. You can download the configurator HTML-file (*.zip) by clicking on the picture below. Typical Applications The DII·ONE is ideal for hands-on control of DAW parameters, MIDI control of hardware synthesizers, recording MIDI performances into a computer, and MIDI-sync hardware-synths and CV-sync modular systems via CV clock. Its ability to run all functions simultaneously and its compact format makes it especially suitable for hybrid studio and live performance environments.

Filter & EQ rocinante´s gate / simulated low-pass gate with lfo and envelope generator / 10 HP ⇣ Rocinante´s Gate is not a classical low-pass gate (LPG) using vactrols, but goes way beyond that providing an adjustable envelope to control the "gate" through an analog filter. Sending a gate or trigger signal into the GATE INPUT will create these envelope shaped sounds you know from other LPGs. 1/3 key features Low-Pass-Gate based on an Analog Filter Internal Envelope Generator Adjustable Rise, Decay, Length, Fall Stages Internal LFO Gate Level CV Loop Mode Re-Trigger Mode Use the Envelope and LFO with External Modules Skiff Friendly Wrong Polarity Protection specs & downloads width: 10 HP depth: 28 mm power: 54 mA @ +12V / 26 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual The LOWPASS knob adjusts the range of frequencies being affected by the gate. If you turn it fully counter clockwise the whole frequency spectrum will be gated. Turning it clockwise will slowly add low frequencies to the gated singal until the whole spectrum is not affected anymore. ENV AMT sets the amount of how much the internal envelope affects the low-pass gate. RISE sets the time how long it will take the sound to go from silent to the loudest level. Just like the time it takes an LED inside of a vactrol to start lighting to its full potential. DECAY controls how long it takes to go from an initial peak to the "gate-phase" level. The length of this phase is varied by the LENGTH potentiometer. Finally FALL changes the time your sound will need to return to silence after the "gate-phase". Just like the time it takes an LED inside of a vactrol to shut down. RESONANCE sets the amount of filtered audio being fed back into the filter input. It can´t go into self-oscillation, but is able to create very crunchy and juicy overtones when turning clockwise. The internal Trigger Generator is being controlled with TRIG RATE and the RE-TRIG/LOOP SWITCH. Adjust the rate of the trigger and apply the singal to either a re-trigger circuitry that repeats the "gate-phase" as long as a gate signal is being applied or to a loop functionality that will create cycles of gates without an external gate or trigger. The ENV/INV SWITCH enables you to alternatively route an inverted envelope to the low-pass filter. This way you may create "ducking" or "side-chained" sounds. An internal triangle LFO can be routed via the LVL ATT attenuator to vary the amount of envelope that is being passed to the gate. The LFO will be deactivated if you turn the LVL ATT attenuator fully counter-clockwise or if you use an external signal to control the envelope amount by patching a CV signal into LVL CV. In addition to the Audio IN and OUT jacks you may take the signals of the internal envelope and LFO from the ENV OUT and LFO OUT to control external devices. In combination with the loop function Rocinante´s Gate is not only a Low-Pass-Gate, but also an LFO and ADSR Generator. prev Up next

MOONCAKE Catalogue No.: ST015 Mooncake is a versatile release that moves stylistically between house, deep house and downbeat. Each of the tracks has its own unique character and sets itself apart from the other tracks on the release. „Call me Maybe“ is a forward moving house track that carries through a rolling bassline and floating lead sounds. Classic percussion and well staged breaks are framed by vocal-like pads. „Millennium“ is a classic deep house track with smooth chords and pads. Driving rides underline the sounds and tempt you to tap your foot.„She Said“ follows in the same footsteps and treats the listener with ear candy in every minute. A perfect piece to look out the window while driving. „Obscurity Stars“ has a melancholic character, but does not forget to spice melancholy with a good portion of groove. FM bass sounds meet saxophone pads, rounded off with rarely heard vocal sounds, a great listening experience. The last track called "Luck of the Edge" has equally melancholic qualities, but knows how to break them up with its downbeat-like framework. Interesting vocals, beautiful pads and well-tempered chords form a varied and unique arrangement. Get your copy! Stream on Spotify! OSTINATO MODULARE Catalogue No.: ST014 Ostinato Modulare is a collection of modular blueprints, that captivate the listener through repetition and dynamics. It creates its energy as part of the essence of becoming to run in two directions at the same time - the direction of constancy and that of change. This collection, exclusively created with modular or semi-modular synthesizers, does not allow distance and is associated with cognitive insight and far-sighted incomparability. It shows the metaphysical perception that not all pieces of music of the modern modular age are of the same nature and kind, which offers a subtle consolation to the listener. Thus, unlike language, musical expression is not just a convention that has become socially anchored over time and shaped into supposed certainties, but is an expression of true moments and feelings without caring about a certain order. “Music breaks out again and again, forms new structures, it mutates and creates new connections, which nevertheless can always be understood immediately”, Stefan Tretau once said. Hence, with transfigured restraint and withdrawn loudness he has designed an antipole to the omnipresent anger of our times, giving the listener the opportunity to withdraw into an imaginary aviary, at least for a short period of time. Get your copy! Stream on Spotify! MIND WORKS Catalogue No.: ST013 Mind Works is a very versatile mini album presenting seven very different tracks from pounding techno to ambient melodies. "Reat" is the beginning and presents itself as a minimal, but impelling techno track that cuts a fine figure on every dance floor. Rolling hats, dark tones and a functional arrangement are the tools for a functional techno track adventure. More dignified and groovy "Mori" continues the album with its very own style. Swinging hats, tribal percussion and housy notes convey a sense of infinity. "Robab", on the other hand, conveys a mysterious mood. Freely floating jazzy sounds and unique percussions carry the listener through a small electronic world of experiences. A piece that sets interesting accents without drifting into the ridiculous. "Lative" begins with a pounding attitude, but unfolds a hypnotic depth that fits wonderfully to passing landscapes. "Itle" lives from a very harsh sounding bassline that works its way through the track. It never stops being waving and meandering keeping the listeners ears busy in every state. In contrast to that pleasant-sounding pad sounds dissolve themselves in an ambivalent atmosphere that's hard to describe. Lovely and incredibly groovy "Bina" heralds the quiet end of the album. The rhythm of the bass line never seems to be static and is part of the organic foundation on which the song is built on. Hypnotic piano sounda and a warming melody in the middle section make this piece a matter of the heart. "Unive" is a melody recording of a modular system. There is no fixed arrangement, no post-production, only raw analogue sounds with all their facets and peculiarities. Here Stefan mainly uses sound generators that he has built himself under his ST Modular imprint creating a piece of loveliness that is hard to beat. Get your copy! Stream on Spotify! DIVIDING OUR GRIEF Catalogue No.: ST012 Stefan Tretau returns with his first release in 2016 presenting a very versatile EP on his own label ST Records. Including banging techno tracks and tech-house beats as well as melodic downbeat and experimental-chillout, this release invites you to a sonic adventure. This adventure, however, does not want to be experienced only for the duration of a moment, but asks for a concentration on the ongoing moment. This continuous recurring flow of the specific and unforeseen is the starting point of this EP. Thanks to its catchy rhythm and functional character “Purified Content" makes it easier for the listener to enter a timepiece that is comparable to the rhythm demanding entry into a musical night. It is "Interference on the Rebound" that continues with a merger of the inner world. It sets the world or rather perceives it as reality itself and makes the flowing movement not only to an abstract moment, but a period of time. "Particles" presupposes an awareness of the present´s transience. If you let your inner eye look out of the window you may see the guide posts at an rhythmic interval just as if they had divided our time into units. A track that pushes the possibility of all events completely into the background. “Staring at Histerics" is like a reversed blueprint of our restless present time. Like a solution this track focusses on the physicality and spatiality of the listener, until the organical crackling ending finds a milieu-like transition to the world-closing track "Bijou". Here it dissolves itself, the resonance between the subject and the world, and you may hope to completely escape from the current acceleratorism with its feasible fantasies. Get your copy! Stream on Spotify! RADICAL Catalogue No.: ST011 Perhaps "Radical" is the best name for Stefan's first EP in 2015. And that´s just because the style of this publication has changed radically in contrast to his previous releases. Driving beats and rolling synth-sounds move these tracks to the edge of a techno moment. Furnished with chords and melodic moments the first track "Radical" takes the lead. At the beginning this piece doesnt show what will evolve with time. Because in the middle of the track each foot will feel the beat and wants to move on, just to keep pounding with a big grin after the break. "Dissolving" is defined by its straight-driving beat, its grinding sounds and melodic accompaniment as a perfect tool for Dj-use. No innovation award is expected here and no revolution is born, because "Dissolving" just wants to live up to one´s name and dissolve in a mix to be part of a whole. Chords, again Chords, a bit of reverb and much delay - these are the ingredients that make the third title of this EP to a melancholic deep house track. Almost ten minutes seem to be much at first, but in the course of the track this length arises to be a perfect base to mindlessly getting lost in it. "Lacidar” marches to a different drummer. Being less impulsive, but more funky and cozily here, this track provides a melody, which will surely cause earwigs. Get your copy! Stream on Spotify! CHIVVY Catalogue No.: ST010 It seems that Stefan Tretau has renounced his past. Parallel to his last release "Set your Mind to Control the Heart of the Sun" his new mini-album "Chivvy" moves again off the beaten track. However, it turns out to be less analog and abstract than the previous album. You may call it crackling-jazzy and floating-melodic, if you want to describe music at all. It seems that a classic house track is not essential for the success of a new release. Ease and melody are his new fashion. Even if this fashion is only a temporary equalization of taste and it will probably not last for too long. He believes lack of imagination to exploit new opportunities is not an option. Only with imagination can he accept the new, rebel against the old, leave the familiar behind and transform the common to the unknown. For Stefan it is impossible to set his own limits a priori. They must be recognized, experienced and perceived. Even if his constant search does not have the goal to enhance the music. At least it satisfies his desire for roots and origin and paves his way forward. Future needs origin, even if it means to reverse the slowness of the origin and the rapidity of the future. Only cessation leads to consciousness. Finally "Chivvy" is not only an expression of an inner trait, but it is a hunt for musical backgrounds. Get your copy! Stream on Spotify! SET YOUR MIND TO CONTROL THE HEART OF THE SUN Catalogue No.: ST09 Releasing his new album "Set your Mind to Control the Heart of the Sun" Stefan Tretau explores the subtlety of abstract sounds without any climax and insistence, just for its own sake and the effect of a musical time as a whole. Recently Stefan Tretau feels most comfortable apart from the club-context. Being a forward-thinking producer he is rather interested in the experience of music making and active listening than dance floors with flash lights. A successful development, but also a risky encroachment into the niche. The very first track of the album "Sparks in Ray of Light" sounds like the sun as a symbol of life, the origin of beings and not least as joy of the day and beauty of the sky. It is a shallow kick off with soundscapes and drone sounds, but it also reflects the strength and tightness of rays of sunlight. With the help of musical pleasantness and classical instruments the next three pieces "Lost in a Molecular Cloud", "Luminosity for a Few" and "Contrasting Tendencies" fill the room with the same zestfulness consequentially. Just after this smooth introduction "Substance Necessary" acts as a wake-up call from the happy depth. Its linear and stomping beat walks straight into the rhythm of alleged shady sides. "Fifth Ray of Neve" shows Stefan´s origins and presents itself as a classic deep house track. Supported by pretty chord sounds and analog sound effects it prepares the listener for the most mainstream capable title of the album. Equipped with a vocal, a break in the middle, a solid beat and all that goes with it "The New Solar Silence" spreads a solid tech house atmosphere. But Stefan dares not to return to the club too much as "Corona's Flare" and "Ulysses sample" already explore the vastness of jazzy-analog swing again. Rarely heard sounds and a lot of details keep the tension taut, just until the penultimate appearance of "Sun Soul Supreme" rises up into the basement of the next electronica jazz club. Here you will also find "Faintly Sweet" with its intangible abstract patterns and vivid sounds – a truly abstract ending. This release is not easy, it's versatile, detailed, constant and shallow, but also powerful and abstract. It needs time to listen and a slow approach to get your mind accustomed to it, just like your eyes to the light of the sun. Get your copy! Stream on Spotify! RISE UP Catalogue No.: ST08 Less weight, more playfulness, less deepness, more house - perhaps that was Stefan Tretau's intention with his latest EP "Rise Up" on ST_Records. According to the season ST008 rather shines with swinging basslines and cheerful head-banging rhythms, instead of profound chords and pads. "Rise Up" sounds like a wake-up call, an invitation to move. The groovy bassline exudes a direct funk that is pollinated by chords and melodies. In the break a whole swarm of sounds effuses just looking for the best house nectar, only to await the sweet juice of the next perennial in the last part of the track. Even with "Orange Blossom" the piece is carried by the bassline. Slightly stomping and singing with the accompaniment of a thousand-marching bees the strings prepare the listener to the underlying irony of the track, that is being confirmed by the easiness of the melody until the last bar. Oldskoolish and moody “Buckwheat" starts off. The funky carved up 303 Bassline hatches out of its honeycomb in the middle of the song and unfolds its beauty extensively in the contrary held break. Playful and fresh the track leads the swarm to the peripheral areas of any acid moments. Get your copy! Stream on Spotify! LOVE, LORE, LOWLINESS Catalogue No.: ST07 Three words whose meaning do not have a high reputation nowadays. People seem to be too much influenced by the ubiquitous fast pace, the media omnipresence of the incomprehension and chronic overconfidence. Love Lore Lowliness is criticising the hedonistic crowd by snapshots of works and polaroids of silence without being sentimental, and as a sideffect, it shows Stefan Tretau's versatility on ST Records. [LOVE] Love is generally known as the strongest feeling of affection and esteem a person can place in another. A state of intimate posture and deep connection that transcends any particular purpose or use. A feeling that is not only met with people, but also things and actions. Love is an explanation of action in full surrender, continuously and over again, regardless of the appreciation obtained. [LORE] The knowledge to understand things and then aligning his action according to it doesnt come out of the blue. It needs some effort you will find this lore as a pay check in the decision fundus. The expectation to get, control and dominate without much struggle is the biggest obstacle - not the perfection of knowledge is important, but the confrontation with the challenge. Whereby also languishing ignorance is a chance for the unexpected. [LOWLINESS] Humility is not the misunderstanding of the submission to the Lord. Without denying this, the term has more useful meanings: humility and the realization that you will not always reach the goal first. Lack of humility and lack of self-confidence to show humility are a breeding ground for disaffection and assault. Only the one who lowers his head once, sees the floor, carrying him constantly. [ALBUM] Whether you are transferring these words directly or indirectly on the album and it´s music, is up to each individual. Regardless of this it becomes clear what is the reason for doing such a work: the love of music creation, the motivation to learn new and the serenity that it will be hardly heard by anyone. Get your copy! Stream on Spotify! POLES APART Catalogue No.: ST06 Nothing on earth can be further apart from each other than our poles. Also ST006 takes us to distant worlds, abstract landscapes and deep voyages. Therefore "Poles Apart" is the name of Stefan Tretau´s latest EP on ST_Records and it´s a must for any deep-house-hedonist. The best way to enjoy electronic music is to completely lose yourself in it. With "Poles Apart" that succeeds from the very first minute. Delay dipped Chords continually flow against the incipient beat and let the listener worlds back away. Almost technoid and with rustling hats the second track "Into the Past" starts off. Deep-sounding, almost scratchy chords set up where Poles Apart left off. In this case, the piece remains extremely straightforward and definable, but without losing any tension. "Constancy of Purpose" is like the moment where you fly slowly over a large glacier. Floating and with continuous rhythm ice flies by and one hardly noticed how the flashing percussion describe a size that is only evident at a second glance. "Edge" sounds like cuddling ice floes. Pleasant melodies are accompanied by cracking ice sheets, ice rain pattering follow footstep-like hats and backward-moving pad sounds complete the subtle arrangement that acts as the conclusion of a caressing circular motion. Apparently from another end of the world is "Bugs". With its LFO-pitched bass drum, the staccato guitar sounds, the blips and opening hats, this sound seems like a still unknown arctic being who courts for further attention with its dry and direct bass sounds.

To answer this question Stefan Mallmann 's original crustacean was put through the mill three times on the fifth publication on ST_Records. The original is not at the beginning, because at the end it becomes a real shrimp. So it´s Mallmann 's "Van de Merwe" edit starting with cheerful deep house and walking jauntily into the chord district. Droning vocals that sound like alien calls may be the only reason why you should not freely enjoy the South African sun. Tretau 's "MNU" elaboration appears to be dancing in a square, barely escaping from shearing attacks. Being snappy and percussive this track remains in tech house laboratory and fetches one shrimp after another out of the slum. Slightly metallic and sounding like junkyard stomps, Tretau 's "No Human" remix jumps straight into the battle suit. Technoid sounds and a continuous beat are literally searching for new fuel to fly the shrimp-flight-module. Mallmann 's “Original” has been through all transformations and is finally mutated to the real shrimp. With driving bongo and conga hits, a subtle techouse-crust and distinctive shrimp calls this piece appears to be the mothership on the way to it´s home planet. Get your copy! Stream on Spotify! ALTERNATIVES TO SINGULARITY Catalogue No.: ST04 Following his last album success "Yesterday you said tomorrow" on Broque Records in 2011 Stefan Tretau now presents the next album release on his own label ST_Records. "Alternatives to Singularity" is not a logical continuation of his previous work, but rather an evolution and resolution of old structures. Therefore you will miss straight forward beats and the known Tretau-Arragements at first, but instead you get a wonderful mix of Electronica, glitchy Dubstep, Breakbeat and classic Deep House. Nevertheless, despite of Stefan´s temporary reorientation he remains true to himself and carries on combining deep sounds with catchy melodies. As a result, the bassline in the frist track "Hacked Japanese Toilet" is mixed with the moving sounds of the topic to such an extend, that you can hardly escape from its ease and playfulness. Despite of the unabashed beat-framework, the light-heartedness of a summer walk also dominates in the following tracks "How soon is now" and "Lake on to Iceland". "Last Soliloquy" surprises with a classical drum´n bass presentation and releases its happiness thru wonderfully staged guitar recordings, just before "Pencil Nunchakus" jazzy rhythm is floating down the slope like a rich river. With "River as Seen" and "Now Hangs Framed" Stefan then moved back again to his roots. He easily fades from playful rhodes house to dubby deep house. Rhythmically straight and packed with melancholia "Locomotive in Lodz" then opens the last third of the album, where "Digital Dementia" builds a source of recognition values by its unusual sounds. Finally, "Curiosity Sings" is not only the last track of the album, but also a remarkable conclusion that stays as a reminder of good times in your memory. Get your copy! Stream on Spotify! COME ON OVER Catalogue No.: ST03 Stefan Tretau strengthens the reactivation of his label with his third release on ST_Records. "Come on Over" is the newest EP and it comes over with a melodic-deephouse-inside underneath its techhouse-coat. "Come On Over" spreads with an expecting attitude, an unsealed anticipation for something forthcoming. Despite the deeper chords this track takes shape of a cheerful figure using airy piano sounds and a mellow melody. Surly a piece one can hardly escape from. The "Come On Over Miles Deluxe Remix" goes a step further than the original and highlights the excitement with a challenging groove. Miles combines deep chords with a bouncing counterpart, just to break the suspense with the aid of an atmospheric surprise in the last third. Great! „Through Changes" knows how to present its qualities with a simple groove and keeps his retro-look until the last beat. A perfectly staged rim shot in the first and deep synthsounds in the second half make this tune become a true runner! Being set free and coming with a rolling bassline "Choose To See" highlights the auspicious character of this EP. A delay-covered vocal, raindropping mallet-percussions and a simple melody leave this piece to be a warm welcomed partner for your ears. „Inside Of An Atom" explores the nature of dubtechno and chillout using simple chords, wide spread guitar licks and delayed percussion. This track maintains its fluffy and poetic touch and may leave you stranded a million miles from where you began. Get your copy! Stream on Spotify! HIGH WAYS Catalogue No.: ST02 The first MP3-EP coming under my own direction is now available. It includes a healthy mixture of deep and tech-house tunes and crows with impulsive and dreamy beats. Like a lonley ride "High Ways" unfolds its hypnotic impact. Immeditaly you try to syncronize the beat to the passing road markings. Lovely melodies and effect covered tones in the first and almost floating synthsounds in the second part of the track bypass like landmarks on the roadside. A truly melodic track that keeps one moving. "Daniel Doppler" has chosen a roadster for his High Ways Remix. Being almost unstoppable, this beatengine keeps running straight towards its intention. Daniel uses the original´s samples in a descreet, but recognizable manner. During the break it feels like cruising towards the rising sun, just to push the gas pedal in the field of electronics immediatley afterwards. Truly the most racy track on this ep! "The Best Is Yet To Come", what a promise! Due to its frisky character and underlying funk this track seem to contest its title itself. Fresh chord sounds and a hint of oldskool let this tune become a hotty, that doesnt have to promise anything more. What do seals and electronic music have in common? Well, they almost sound the same! The underwater recordings remind on effect sounds of a modular synth. Therefore its no surprise "Not the End Of The World" easily reconciles seal calls, cracking ice and arctic water. The result is a dubby deep house track that holds all required skills: chords, delay effects, in-depth melodies and loads of an arctic atmosphere. Get your copy! Stream on Spotify! WHATEVER HAPPENED Catalogue No.: ST01 Limited vinyl release. Stefan Tretau returns with this mighty fine techno 3 tracker on the new ST imprint. Two melodic Detroit inspired bangers (title track Whatever Happened and Lily), while EqF kid is on the more minimal modern darker house side. Heavy modern club tools by Tretau! SOLD OUT!

Utilities & PSU cv scan / bi-directional cv router / 6 HP ⇣ Unlock unparalleled signal control with our Bi-Directional CV Router. Effortlessly switch between four sources or route one to four destinations. 1/3 key features Bi-Directional CV Router 4 Inputs or Outputs 4 Attenunators Scan Manually or via CV OFF Switch via Push Button or Gate Signal Manual 0V to +10V CV Supply Wrong polarity protection specs & downloads width: 6 HP depth: 30 mm power: 35 mA @ +12V / 21 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual CV SCAN is a 1 to 4 or 4 to 1 CV router that allows you to route one cv signal to four different destinations or route four different CV sources to one CV input. This can be done manually or via CV. Additionally the routing can be interrupted via the OFF switch or with the help of a gate signal. Each CV input/output has a dedicated attenuator. There is also a variable -10V to +10V CV supply. The SCAN potentiometer can be used to scan through the different CV sources/destinations. Turning from left to right you will individually activate inputs/outputs A to D after one another. Additionally turning that knob will supply 0 to +10V on the V OUT jack. This allows you to scan through A to D and also change a CV input of another module in accordance to the potentiometer position. RANGE adjusts the inputs and outputs that can be activated with the SCAN knob or the CV input. Applying -5V to +5V in mid position will give you the full range. Turning RANGE counterclockwise causes only A and B to be active. Turning RANGE clockwise will move the activation range from A/B, A/B/C, B/C, B/C/D and C/D. This gives you a nice control over the range to be scanned. The attenuators may lower the signal that is routed through CV SCAN . Pleae note that they are not able to comepletely kill the signal in order to keep the module bi-directional. CV SCAN was mainly designed to handle CV sources. Still it is also helpful to change waveforms of an oscillator for example. This should be done off the mix as there might be small clicks audible when changing sources/destinations. prev Up next

Utilities & PSU cause & effect / voltage reader, sample & hold and gate switch / 4 HP & 20 HP ⇣ Introducing the Cause & Effect module – the maestro of musical mischief in your Eurorack setup. It's like the conductor of a whimsical symphony, where flipping switches and twiddling knobs creates a chain reaction that turns chaos into pure sonic magic. Who knew that cause and effect could be this much fun? 1/6 key features Three Utility Tools Voltage Reader for Gates Hold for Sampled Voltages Gate Switch Gate Switch Inverter Two Hold Modes Inputs Normalised Accepted input voltages for all inputs: -8V to +8V (CV & Audio). Available in Intellijel and Pulp Logic Tile Format Skiff friendly specs & downloads width: 4 HP & 20 HP depth: 30 mm power: 35 mA @ +12V / 31 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual The first unit is a VOLTAGE READER, that outputs a gate signal according to a limit set with the help of the READ LIMIT potentiometer. If the limit set (any voltage between -6V and +6V) is reached by the incoming voltage, the R GATE output will be high. The limit may also be controlled via external control voltage at the LIMIT CV jack. This so-called comparator outputs a gate with an amplitude of +/-5V, which also makes it usable as a square wave generator with pulse with modulation via the READ LIMIT potentiometer. Any voltage applied to READ IN is normalised to HOLD IN and IN A. R GATE is normalised to H GATE and SW GATE. This way only one signal is necessary to control both other units. The second unit is called HOLD. In one mode it can sample and store a voltage from the HOLD IN jack and supply it at the HOLD OUT jack, if gate at H GATE is high. In another mode it can pass through the incoming voltage when gate is high. It then samples and stores the last voltage value applied when gate switches to low. The modes are selectable via the HOLD MODE switch. The third unit is a GATE SWITCH. Apply a gate signal to the SW GATE input to route IN A or IN B to OUT. If the gate signal is high, IN A is switched through, and if the gate signal is low, IN B is switched through. When only IN A is connected and IN B is not, OUT produces an inverted version of IN A when the gate is low, and a non-inverted version when high. When only IN B is connected and IN A patched with a dummy cable (a cable that is not connected to another module), IN B can be switched off by a gate signal. If nothing is patched to IN A, the VOLTAGE READER GATE output is normalized to this input. This module is available in 3U and 1U!

Utilities & PSU sl / fader, attenuator, offset, mixer, voltage source, polarizer / 3 HP ⇣ SL is a chainable modular fader that consolidates numerous functions within a 3HP module. Link multiple SL modules effortlessly using a jumper on the rear. 1/3 key features Attenuate Audio Sources or CVs Add offsets to CVs or change their polarity Attenuate/Invert CVs sent to modules that don´t have attenuverters Control Parameters of other Modules Build a Multi-Channel Mixer by Daisy-Chaining Simple Connection of several SL Modules with Jumpers Alter Module Orientation with Flip-Panel Wrong polarity protection specs & downloads width: 3 HP depth: 28 mm power: 15 mA @ +12V / 15 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual SL is a Bi- or Uni-Polar Attenuator and Voltage Source with a Sl ide Potentiometer. Each SL can also be a mixer channel when several SL s are daisy-chained. Any audio or voltage source may be attenuated using the sl ide potentiometer. You can change the behaviour from uni-polar to bi-polar via switch. If there is no input patched SL acts as a manual voltage source. Voltages can be set to +5V or +10V via switch. This mode also allows you to change the behaviour from uni-polar to bi-polar. Two or more SL modules may be daisy-chained with simple 2.54mm jumpers on the back. This way you can use them as mixer channels or offset generators.When SL 1’s output is left unconnected, the signal on SL 2’s output is the sum of SL 1 and 2. When output 1 and 2 are left unconnected, the signal on SL 3’s output is the sum of channels 1, 2 and 3 and so on.Leave SL 1’s input and output unconnected. Patch a CV source to SL 2’s input. SL 2’s output will be an offset copy of the input signal. Use SL 1’s sl ider to adjust the offset and use SL 2’s sl ider to adjust the amplitude and polarity of the CV. If you patch an input in SL 1´s input and take the output from SL 2, the signal will first be attenuated and then offset. You can choose to have the jacks on top or bottom of the module by flipping the panel and changing the sl ide pot´s orientation via two jumpers on the back. prev Up next

Mixer & VCA send / aux send & return / 8 HP ⇣ SEND serves as an excellent performance tool, enabling direct interaction with external effects affecting your sounds. 1/3 key features 2x AUX Send & Return 2x Tone Control Input Level Attenuator LED Indication Wrong polarity protection specs & downloads width: 8 HP depth: 35 mm power: 25 mA @ +12V / 15 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual SEND is a send and return unit you may know from ordinary mixers. It has a mono INPUT with a LEVEL attenuator and any signal fed in is sent directly to the stereo outputs OUT L and OUT R. If you turn SEND A to the right, you can adjust the portion of the signal that is sent to the SEND A output.This can then be fed into an external effect and returned in mono or stereo to the upper RETURN (L) and RETURN (R) inputs. The TONE potentiometer accentuates either low (turn to the left) or high frequencies (turn to the right) of the signal routed to the send output. Leave it in the centre position so that the frequencies are not affected. The same applies to SEND B, the lower inputs RETURN (L) and RETURN (R) and the corresponding potentiometers SEND B and TONE. Both send s can be used simultaneously. Two LEDs indicate if a signal is sent to the send output. Gain trimmers are located on the front panel to adjust the gain of the send signal. prev Up next

The Resonance can still be varied independently per channel, which is very interesting when using two different audio sources at once. If you want to merge the two audio sources there is a Mix Out next to the two independent outputs per channel. 1/3 key features Analog Dual/Stereo-Filter 4 Filter Modes: LP, HP, Phaser and Overdrive Independent Resonance Control Mix two Mono Signals Mono to Stereo Converter CV Control over Cutoff Frequency CV Attenuator Expander Module Wrong Polarity Protection specs & downloads width: 8 HP depth: 28 mm power: 56 mA @ +12V / 45 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual Karl has four modes: Low Pass Mode: Classic Analog Low Pass Filter High Pass Mode: Classic Analog High Pass Filter Phaser Mode: A small band of frequencies is filtered next to the original signal being passed through Overdrive Mode: If Resonance is increased the filter will quickly jump to overdrive, which creates some nice Harmonics The Modes may be changed via jumpers on the back of the module. In any mode the Cutoff Frequency may be changed via CV. The CV signal can be attenuated with the CV potentiometer. There is also an expander module available. The „Karl Mode Selector“ gives you front panel control over the modes and an alternative audio input for the right channel that can be activated via switch. prev Up next

Oscillator honeyeater v3 / cem3340 analog vco with sub-oscillator / 6 HP ⇣ HONEYEATER is a classic analog VCO featuring two sub-oscillators and mixable waveforms. Built around the renowned CEM3340 "Curtis Oscillator" precision VCO chip — found in legendary synths like the Sequential Prophet-5 and Oberheim OB-8 — this module delivers rich and raw analog sounds in a compact, low-HP format. It is one of our most popular modules! 1/4 key features CEM3340 Analog Oscillator 5 Mixable Waveforms White Noise Two Blendable Sub-Oscillators Linear & Exponential FM VC Pulse Width Modulation Skiff friendly Wrong polarity protection specs & downloads width: 6 HP depth: 30 mm power: 56 mA @ +12V / 45 mA @ -12V documentation videos description / manual Honeyeater is the ideal choice for big sounds in compact cases! It serves as a versatile workhorse oscillator, capable of producing both classic and complex waveforms beyond typical analog oscillators. Use the COARSE and FINE knobs to adjust pitch, with FINE allowing smaller, more precise pitch changes. Increase the volume of the Pulse, Triangle, or Sawtooth waves, as well as the Suboscillators, by raising the three faders. Note that waveforms may slightly overdrive in the top third of each fader’s range. You can also switch between a triangle or sawtooth waveform for the middle fader. The SUB MIX knob controls the two sub-octaves: turning it right increases the volume of the sub-oscillator one octave below the root pitch, while turning it left boosts the one two octaves below. At the center, both sub-octaves play equally; at either end, the opposite sub is fully muted. Ensure the SUB fader (3) is raised to blend sub-octaves into the main mix. To add white noise for a grittier sound, turn the NOISE knob to the right. The Pulse Width of the Pulse waveform can be adjusted manually or via CV using the knob above the PWM CV input. Connect any CV source (0V to +5V) to modulate Pulse Width here. The FM input accepts any control voltage to frequency-modulate the oscillator, with modes switchable between linear and exponential via the LIN/EXP switch. Honeyeater supports both hard and soft sync by patching an external oscillator’s output (ideally a sawtooth wave) to the SYNC input. Select between sync types via a jumper on the back of the module. When assembling the Honeyeater yourself, you have the option to use either a DIP-16 through-hole CEM3340 IC or a SOIC-16 SMD variant, which can be mounted using a small adapter board.
