The Make Noise Teleplexer is a telegraph style multiplexer (signal router) that applies the fast, physically immediate techniques of telegraphy to playing the modular synthesizer.

The user patches any number of control sources leaving the destination end of patch cables un-connected. Destinations are patched to the outputs of the Teleplexer. Touching the tip of any patch cable carrying a source signal to the surface of the Teleplexer creates a momentary connection. The user determines the destination(s) and polarity of signal by touching the patch cable to any one of the 14 metal plates.

Here’s what the developers have to say about the Teleplexer:

As the building blocks of synthesis are a by-product of communications technologies, why not look to telegraphy for inspiration? The speed and agility telegraph operators displayed relaying life-altering messages across the world was staggering toward some form of future musical genius.

Features:

Use as many sources as desired

Possible sources include LFO, Envelope, Sequence, Clock, Gate, Audio Signals and more

Add & subtract voltages by using several sources at multiple plates

Auxiliary inputs allow for continuous signal source to be added to destination

Up to 3 independent destination outputs

Output signal channel, level and polarity indicated by LEDs

Outputs capable of driving multiple destinations without loading effects (no buffered mult needed)

The Make Noise Teleplexer is priced at US $115.
