L-1 has a pretty awesome traditional 24-band analog vocoder. Not cheap by any stretch, but L-1 stuff is incredible quality. You can get this DIY if you're brave. I have a PCB/panel set I haven't started on yet. Best part about this module is you can get it with the Muff Wiggler cats on the panel! ht...

I use a Hakko FR-301 It's spendy but I've never damaged a compnent with it..and the sheer amount of time saved is worth it alone. I'm still learning but the first time I saw another tech use one, he recapped all the voice boards on a Memorymoog in under an hour, casually while we were talking..I kn...

That makes me a very happy nerd, igorrr! Looking forward to them.

@igorrr - I see that the 3xMIA are back in stock at Analogue Haven in the US. Are there any plans for another shipment of the 3xVCA to the US as well?

That's very good news. Thanks for sharing with those of us not on FB.

I'm getting a bit concerned as well. If nothing else, they have links to important build docs on there. Even if they're not selling right now, it would be good to have access to those. It would be really nice if they'd post some kind of honest statement about what's going on.

I'm trying to recollect, as it's been a couple of years since I built mine. I don't think Mouser or Digikey have low-current amber LEDs. If you are willing to go with orange, Digikey has one that meets the specs (5mm, 2mA forward current): https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/kingbright/WP7113L...

Whatever's going on, it's not a good look. At very least put a real explanation on the landing page rather than some ambiguous attempt at humor. I've been dealing with them successfully for years, but even for me this is off-putting.

Looking at some DIY stuff there, and confused, some clearly show thru-hole PCBs, but the BOM states 0603? Like the LO-Fusion VCF, I'd prefer 0805 over TH and suck at 0603. Not sure what ya get with these. The Lo-Fusion is through-hole only as far as I know. Some of the modules, like Static, have bo...

I got the same for an order I placed a couple of years ago! Andrei is a classy guy indeed. I've always had good dealings with him. Enjoy!

I am going to be following this. Welcome!

Shhh you will drive the price up on the livewire. This was supposed to be a secret of the ponytail cargo shorts society.

Damn right. I have an unkempt beard rather than a ponytail though.

They've shown a pin matrix prototype (or at least part of one) for the Synthi clone, so they may be able to leverage that technology for this. Assuming either actually gets built.

Like others on here, I can give another vote for NLC. Ian Fritz's Hypster was my first. Good layout, parts not too small, and well-documented. It was a surprisingly easy process, and it made me wonder why I had put off learning SMD for so long.

Andrei,
What is the correct value for R6? The board says 39K, but the build documentation and BOM specify 10K.

A-171-2 VC Slew is brilliant given the amount of manual and CV control you have in a module that's only 8hp.

For me early on it was function generators. Understanding the links between envelopes, LFOs, slew, sequencers, and (at audio rate) oscillators was huge for me. I came from hardware synthesizers, so I had a very conventional, East-coast understanding of signal paths. I've had other moments since then...

Synth-Werk in 5U.

But in Euro: Livewire (the best, heavy feel, plenty of space), L-1, random*source, and Cwejman (the smoothest feeling)

I'm a keys player by nature, so the Matriarch is for me just about the greatest thing since sliced bread. I'm using it mostly on its own at the moment, testing its sound and self-patching capabilities. I've done a bit of external routing so far, mostly running the oscillators through other filters. ...

Mine tracks across four octaves. Never tried 5.

Just picked up a set of these S-W modules from a local wiggler. Looking forward to getting them integrated into my MU/MOTM multiverse. Got the 901ABBB, FFB, mixer, and VCA. 8-) :mad: :cry: I mean . . . thank you for removing the burden of temping myself with buying those! :hihi: :tu: You and me bot...

Hi wigglers, I've decided to downsize my MU modular. You could just get a stool to reach the upper cabinet. I would agree with others in saying, try to sell it first as a system. You basically have a complete voice + sequencer, so that's attractive right there. Then I'd think about the market. Peop...

RIP Mike. I always respected you, and the tributes here are a testament to your good spirit. Thank you for creating this community, which was my gateway into the world of modular. We will carry on wiggling in your honor.

Well, damn, this is a cheering thing. Love seeing a modular rather than the typical guitar associated with music. As a father of two daughters, I'm also happy to see it was a girl using the modular.

This is awesome news - thanks! I'm so glad I held on to my AFG.
