Muff's Modules & More

wavecircle

With there being so few videos online and not that much on soundcloud I was wondering how many 300 series owners there are?

Well, there's you! Now make a video!

Not here yet. I need a PSU and case also.

Ekofisk · Posted: Sat Aug 20, 2011 10:19 am Post subject:

Ahh. Well in that case, I'd like to know as well.
There really are very few videos etc online, and I, for one, would like to see more.

I think I remember grant mentioning when he retired the 300 series there were roughly 350 modules out there. That was quite a few years ago but I don't think he made many since production started again. Now with production restarted I'd guess there are around 400 modules out there at this time....?

Would be interesting to count them. I bet we have a fair representation just here on Muff's.

Cary Grace (1) (It still counts! Maybe triple!)
Gary Chang (36)
smoo
Muff (15)
Me (14)
sandyb (8)
Norman Phay (9)
revmutt (15)
Fnord (6)
Wavecircle (8)
El Clone
Ekofisk (9)
Construct09 (5)
Eef
3VCOs (7)
fluxmonkey (8)
ChamomileShark (11)
AcidHangover (12)
anadeji (3)
ModularFreak (15)

That's 175 300 series modules confirmed so far, plus ~9 old and new controllers. I bet I am missing a few posters; speak up and I'll update the list. Adding what I know about some systems (mine, Muff's, Gary's, sandyb's, Norman's) and completely wild-ass guessing a 6 module "System 1" type of layout for most everyone else on average, fudge fudge, that's 175 true blue Wiard modules right there[*]. It wouldn't surprise me at all to find that we had 50% of all existing Wiard 300 modules owned and represented by Muff forum members. Probably more.

[*] I have excluded from this count the crazy 300 format DIY modules that Norman and I have made or had built, and also skipped counting new or old joystick controllers or 1200 series. This is just 300 format tall blue wondermodules.

Hmmm....how many modules count as a system? Heck, a waveform city or classic vco and a Borg is a system. :-)

A 300 series wogglebug is a system.

I guess anyone who owns 300 series module(s)

revmutt · Posted: Sat Aug 20, 2011 4:17 pm Post subject:

Because of the sheer quality and density of the modules there aren't that many systems that go beyond six or eight modules. I think with Wiard anything beyond that may be considered large.

Well then at 7 modules I guess I belong on that short list too. w00t

I used to own the first one pictured here:

Gary Chang bought it from me and didn't want the case, as he was absorbing the modules into his huge system.
I still have that case and still haven't found a use for it... just dug it out of the basement the other day and brought it into the studio in the hopes of throwing something in it.

i have fifteen 300 series modules, with one space left in my (still in production) case, my final system will have 16 of the 300 series units.

3vcos · Posted: Sat Aug 20, 2011 10:03 pm Post subject:

I say, God Damn! That's a big fat system!

plord · Posted: Sat Aug 20, 2011 10:15 pm Post subject:

Updated the list. I have 14 actual Wiard modules and another 14 spaces worth of DIY and custom made 300 format stuff. Um, at least. It's still in storage except the modules delivered in the last year cry

Added more folks who spoke up, and if there really are 350 total 300 series modules out there in the wild, then if my assumptions are good then we are definitely over the halfway point now.

revmutt · Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2011 12:01 am Post subject:

I have 15 300 series modules plus including the controller. My case holds two frames and the controller. I am looking to add a second case, possibly move all the modules that had been part of system #2 into it's own case -if that isn't the kind of geek shit this board is made of I don't know what is.

11 300 series modules - one on the way and the new controller.

sandyb · Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2011 1:22 pm Post subject:

i'm on 8 x 300 series modules plus a new controller

2 wogglebugs
waveform city with hylander expander
classic vco
mixolator
envelator
borg
sequantizer

i've also got a couple of 300 series style repanels - dual blacet quad vca and a frequency divider.
