Sound Transform Systems had a custom panel available for purchase. For reference of what becomes available from time to time, enjoy the following recent post…

This loaded boat has 8 generators with an amazing blend of the SSG, DTG, and 2 DUSGs. We like to call the 2 DUSG combo a “Quadslope”. This setup gives you amazing flexibility as each of the generators can be patch programmed to be both audio and CV sources. The rest of this panel gives you the CV processing and mixing functionality in the Pulse Divider, ÷N COM, Dual Processor, and Audio Mixer. This is a unique piece to start with, or add to your system. It wont last too long at a price tag of $3400 plus shipping. Includes the case, but not the power supply.

Inquire by calling Rex Probe at (262) 367-3030

To cut down on complicated patches and confusion, I tried to keep this demo simple and therefore the WAD is being used mainly for audio/cv processing. More advanced applications, traditional delays, ping-pongs, karplus strong effects and more will be covered in a future video.

Cheers!

First is the PSD (shop panel power distribution board) versus the Obelisk (m-odule power distribution). The distribution boards look identical. I dont see any real differences between the two. Obviously the the distribution board is mounted to the obelisk with the leds going to the front panel where the PSD led’s are facing the other direction. The Obelisk also has an additional board for the banana jack and led.
Here they are side by side:

Next is the PS2a (m-class 2 panel power supply) versus the PS4 (power supply for up to two shop panels).
The PS2a is the much smaller black box. It is in a sealed case, so no adjustments can be made. It does have a banana jack for ground as well as a removable IEC mains connector and fuse. The output goes to a Female connector that plugs directly into the pigtail coming off of the obelisk. The PS2a fits perfectly into the m-case.

The PS-4 is in a larger case that can be opened up for fine tuning and troubleshooting. It has an on/off switch which the PS2a does not have. It also has an on indicator LED. The output cable is a 5 pin female XLR (I am not sure if this is standard) which terminates into a male 5 pin XLR panel mount socket. This socket has a Male connector to plug into the PSD (opposite of the PS2a, which again, I am not sure if this is standard). Like the PS2a, it has a banana jack for ground.

Here they are together, with the PS2a on top.

This shot gives a clearer view of the connectors coming off of each power supply:

I really am impressed with the standardization Rex has stuck with over the years. An example of this is the fact that an Oakland era shop panel (now known as the Blue Voice) seamlessly made the transition from the large boat to a shallow m-boat that I purchased some time back with the intention of getting more m-odules. All I had to do was remove the Obelisk and the panel dropped right in. I will say that there isn’t any extra room in there though. The NTO board is almost touching the back side of the boat (it does not touch, but it is about as close as I am comfortable with). Maybe you can see it in this picture taken through the back hole:

I hope this helps at least a little bit. I know it confused me a bit, and it is much simpler than I imagined.
