my Cascade ;) (attenuvertion, offset, gain, mixing, DIY-fun) +1 for the Cascade I DIYed a 4 channel version in 8HP based on your schematic. Love it :) In the early days (2011) I did a 4 channel version but in 12hp, the fonitronik MH01! Vince Clarke has one, Depeche Mode has one, and Deadmau5 bought...

How do the MAntra fit in a superslim boat?, my Carnivore wouldn´t fit in my TKB superslim boat? It does fit. Even the La Bestia II does fit into a superslim boat. The trick is to use angled power headers. And the Mantra leaves enough room for an internal PSU under the sequencer. For the La Bestial ...

------ Corona Virus Update ------ Frankfurt, 2 April 2020. We are glad to report that here at Random*Source, so far, we have not been significantly affected by the Corona pandemic - production is running and our shop open. However, we do experience some delays from suppliers which may lead to delay...

to pair the Mantra, mmm the new R*S TKB is a great option.

combine it, bolt it together, add an internal PSU!



and then have a lap-serge orchestra.

I would love to see a Utility 4x4 - something like a preamp, a dual VCA, audio mixer & cv processor. Yes. That sound good. Since we still expand the portfolio it is always a balance between panels/modules for starter and panels/modules for larger systems. But one thing is for sure, there is a lack ...

what is PEAK & TROUGH for? I'm sure this is answered in more thorough detail elsewhere but put simply it's a means of isolating the peaks (positive) and troughs (negative) of a complex signal. Several signals (all CV, in this case) can be combined to yield multistructural waveforms. Min/Max modules...

For anyone wondering about the DUSG: The original Edelweiss was a panel using CGS PCBs. The R*S DUSG underwent several stages of improvement with the aim to make it more usable in the audio range as an utility VCO. Today there is temo compensation, the transients are much sharper than on any other v...

Nice, will there be a eurorack version of this vco?

Considering the grid and our front-panel specifications I think the NTO is the better option for Eurorack. But I am open to ideas, so what do you think?

Hello Rob, I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for doing what you are doing. Mike created something that made a huge impact on the world of modular synthesis - and Mike himself had made positive impact on quite a few individuals like me. All the best!

You do not loose anything with 4x4, and there are no gaps between the Eurorack modules due to minimal tolerances. You just have a few more screws.

Mantra is a good starter panel IMHO.
Here is a recent patch where I play just the Mantra with the TKB, using the Mantra 8-step programmer as a 2nd keyboard:

Serge as of 12-2019 by Matthias Herrmann, on Flickr

Is Serge "standalone" and people usually build entire system out of them or can you simply add them to existing Eurorack setups? Our Random*Source Euro-Serge modules are the 4U designs but in the 3U form factor. You could use the Eurorack infrastructure. Yes, you could combine them with any other E...

We are very excited actually to have the P&T as a companion for the dual PCO. CAn I use the P&T section of the DUSG XL the same way? This is the very reason we added the P&T to our DUSG MKII, since the DUSG MKII runs nicely as an VCO (tracking up to 4 octaves when set up properly and running the ri...

You got it!

The PCO ist the same circuitry as the NTO, but with less features.

If we talk P&T don't think of control voltages only. But yes, mixers and processors are always welcome in a Serge system. I get this point.

To be honest, I would be the last person to claim deep knowledge of the Easel and how it works. Nonetheless, I am always a friend of having audio gear properly grounded.

Really?
For the TKB we use an external PSU with mains earth connected to 0V/COM of the TKB. This is the approach that should work for the Music Easel as well:
viewtopic.php?t=201326

I do not have an Easel nor do I know about the actual PSU used, however, for those situations I built myself a mains-plug with modified with a banana socket connected to the mains safety earth only.

Interesting. Where do you got these prices from? These look more like prices for used panels via Reverb. Earlier this year I saw STS offering panels for about 3000-5000 each, I believe.

You may want to ask in the FB Serge Modular Synthesizer group. It is very likely that the person who assembled your TKB is a member there.

TKBs with internal PSU

Email is the way to go. however, we have had holidays here in Germany.
