Good luck to everyone at WMD! The component shortage is absolutely no joke and it really sucks to see passionate, community-supporting, small businesses be put under such pressure like this. I heard the sad news when it was announced but didn't see this thread until today. Oh cool! His reverb store was down and the site ( )was throwing an error for me yesterday when I checked. Shipment around the world is carried out without any problems. Happy Nerding (coincidentally based out of the Ukraine) has a click-less mutes module though, 4 mutes in 4hp: Ĭurrently, the manufacturer accepts orders. Might be awhile before you can get a new one of these again.

I often simply put this in between my sound sources and PM inputs.Īs Paratek was based in Russia, the sanctions and restrictions applied due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict have essentially removed his ability to do business, unfortunately.

Makes for very natural sounding mute and unmuting.Ĭhannels can each be momentary or latching. Vactrols in the circuit (only in the control, not audio path) for click less mutes similar to the divkid mutes module. May not be a solution for everyone but I use this as an alternative for mutes. Idk I’m just still in the denial phase I guess. The Metron and the PM specifically are just monumental as far as I’m concerned. Is there any chance of you guys making your Module designs available to someone who could continue to make them? Like, maybe you could sell the full designs and code to someone, not sure who this person would be, but then they could continue to make some of the designs that are popular. and the new ones look amazing too! Just so bummed So I guess I’ll just have to hope someone decides to sell 2 on reverb eventually. I wouldn’t have the slightest clue how to go about making this exist.

While I certainly appreciate you taking your time to respond here, as well as providing what I assume are schematics for something that might work instead. The pins sum DIRECTLY to the VCA CV virtual ground node on the PM. Easiest design would be to use a -5V source and connect it through a 20k-75k resistor and toggle switch to the pins on the mutes expander. You may find the logic difficult to source. A simplified version should be able to be made with toggles or pushbuttons and separate LEDs. I have attached the DipTrace design files. Mutes is discontinued because the switches have been a pain to source and work with. But how am I supposed to get my PM mutes?! I have 2 Performance mixers that need their mutes! I’ve been waiting 2 years!
