Muff's Modules & More

Hey,

My head is still buzzing, but I am pretty sure I just ordered my first Wiard 300 modules. zombie

I chose one of each, VCO, Borg, Wogglebug, Sequantizer, Mixolator and Envelator. I reckon this gives a great variety and will function as a closed system (if needed to).
Is there something I should change here? I already have a fairly extensive frac-setup that could be patched in, but want to keep this thing kind-of self-contained.

Any input welcome.

Oh, and SlayerBadger!

Related Q; what deliverytimes are you expecting?

Based on my original quotation, which was for 3 modules, 2-3 months. With the full rack, she said to expect a but longer, but I don't think anything is certain yet.

They've priced the modules very nicely. I've always just written them off, because of being way too expensive. Now, they are in the might-be-able-to-stretch-to-category, which probably is the more dangerous of the two.

Thinking along similar lines?

I am getting an 8 module system but if i was restricted to 6 id get the system you have stated but i would swap the VCO for a waveform city. Offers most of the features of the VCO but with more different functions.

Yeah, but I've already got 1 (+1 in kit form) frac Miniwave, which, I gather is fairly similar?

back in production d'oh!

If I had only knew that before I paid for the Fenix XL

i've been fantasising about just the same thing too.

i'd go for exactly the system you specified. how much would that all come to? i have a wiard 310 controller that might sit nicely underneath it.

i'd not go for the waveform city, as i had a blacet miniwave for many years and never clicked with it.

It's about $5k or thereabouts for a 6 module system.

Very competitive when compared with a serge animal or 4/5 module system buchla.

Even in comparison with top end eurorack, the wiard is very good value.

But if the WC's advantages are that is has the analog oscillator in it, but you already have a MiniWave, wouldn't it still be better to get the analog VCO? Then you have both, and the extra features of the VCO. hmmm.....

i often use these 6 modules as a standalone system and am very happy with the configuration.

wogglebug, envelator, waveform city, classic vco, borg, mixolator.

if i had to choose only one oscillator (to make space for a sequantizer say) i'd choose the waveform city. it has the analogue side as has been said but, with the digital side, it offers a whole load of other sound possibilities as well.

a couple of slope detectors play really well with these if you want to cross-patch with another format.

Ekofisk · Posted: Wed May 18, 2011 1:15 pm Post subject:

Yeah, the self-contained aspect is important. All my frac use bananas, so cross-patching is not optimal. Therefore it might make sense to get a wider palette from the start. So I guess analogue+digital trumps analogue in this setup.

I am really excited about this. Thanks for all insight so far!

I just placed an order for 3 modules:
Classic VCO • Sequantizer • Borg Filters

Seems like a great start to me!
