Steady State Fate Ultra Random Analog
Six flavors of analog randomness in 10hp
10 HP Eurorack module
The Ultra-Random Analog is a comprehensive analog random voltage generator offering six distinct random outputs including stepped, slewed, toggled, fluctuating, and pulsed random signals alongside a vactrol-based integrator. Its musical character is deeply organic and unpredictable, capable of generating everything from slow evolving generative melodies to chaotic audio-rate noise and rhythmic random gate sequences. The module excels at injecting life and variation into patches through its deeply interconnected internal normalization and 1V/Oct tracked clock.

- R-Pulse random gate/noise output operating from sub-audio to audio rate with 7 selectable randomness divisions
- Opto-Integrator vactrol based integrator with panel control and CV input, internally normalled from R-Pulse
- Built-in 1V/Oct temperature compensated voltage controlled clock with hi and low range selector
- Clock doubles as a full range pulse VCO
- External clock input for optionally timing S&H-B, R-Flux, and Toggle outputs
- All outputs feature bipolar LED indicators
- R-Pulse randomness level saved automatically every 60 seconds
- Can function as dual sample and hold for wave shaping and sample rate reduction of CV and audio
