Dual post

it is smaller. If you lay the two images over each other and size the matrix to the same size (which also sizes the knobs to be very close, you get this as a the approximate size difference. I imagine that there is one large PCB behind that panel and all the knobs and switches and cisutry are on it...

Well you can't deny that the original just looks a lot better. How long before someone comes up with a DIY project to rehouse the Behringer in a larger enclosure with bigger faceplates? Won't happen. I bet money that there is one large PCB behind that panel with all the knobs, switches and circuitr...

Here is a neat circuit form an old EDN magazine for making a digital SP4T switch. It uses four pushbuttons to make a "radio switch" like switching circuit but the switches could be replaced by gates easily enough.

I have a Planar 2, a Choices, and two Analogue Systems joysticks. I like the feel of both the Choices Md the Planar. The planar’s recording ability and the built in quad makes it edge ahead of the Choices. The AS sticks are plain sticks and work great, just no extra features. They are bi-polar which...

PM me. Since I make both FSR modules with multiple size FSRs and threshold dependent gates and electronic switch versions, I may be able to help a bit.

Has anyone scaled its dimensions from the rear panel sockets?

Many points of measurement that can be taken from the rear panel view. The USB Type B connector, the MIDI din connectors, the jacks.

[The Doepfer A-144 MC is] hard to come by and not cheap. I have one and love it. Took a while to hunt down . . . You're right (discontinued). I can't seem to find one. Analogue Haven in California still has them. They were the only dealer in the states for a while and seems to have bought large qua...

Got late to this discussion but would make this one suggestion - The Doepfer A-143-9 Quadrature LFO. If you want to have four channels panning around with them "chasing" each other, this is the module to use. Great for quad. Another is the A-144 Morph controller, one input that turns on four outs in...

Just gone on FB. Is it me or is there no CV/gate inputs?

I'll be out if that's the case.

it´s aint that kind of party

The originals didn't have them either. Remember the originals also had 0.32V/octave cv control.

Whatever they choose the build quality cant as horrendous as the original units. Mains wiring with wire as thin as it's possible to solder onto, poorly constructed case, cheap ass multiturn pot adapters... Very true. Reminds me of 1950's Fender Telecasters - cheap parts, off the shelf electrics sol...

If the matrix has been buffered it may be possible to inject into the matrix but signals may be inverted. The matrix is definitely not buffered. To do that correctly, you would need a connection for every cross-point and not horizontal and vertical busses like their matrix does. As far as injecting...

Whatever they choose the build quality cant as horrendous as the original units. Mains wiring with wire as thin as it's possible to solder onto, poorly constructed case, cheap ass multiturn pot adapters... Yeah, I wonder how many people think they are proper multi-turn pots when in fact they are ju...

Besides the big variation in the many complex timbres, I'm really impressed by the way you handle the stereo imaging. Not least considering, that this is a live situation. That is often one of my big headaches when creating soundscapes with a modular setup. The panning effects are made with the VCA...

I really wonder why they chose the VCS3 over the AKS form factor, it is nice but the briefcase version would be much more useful for travel and gigs They probably couldn’t get any original spartanite briefcases. I did a lot of gigging with a VCS3, my first synthesizer, and it is a real pain in the ...

I'm building a 9u x 110hp case. I'm going to install a switching power supply(Trogotronic m15) and the total draw once the case is full should be roughly 2500 mA +12v and 1400 mA -12v. I'm wondering whether I should put in some ventilation holes. The case is curved and has quite a bit of space in t...

I'm kinda looking for a more programmable CV to MIDI converter than the Doepfer A-192 I have now. I want more control over my Nord Modulars from external controllers. There are lots more to choose from than there was when I got my A-192.

I have both read and reread your posts in this thread a couple of times now. Your proces sounds really exciting to me! Especially the heavy use and modulation of all kinds of samples to create non-tonal soundscapes and textures. Is it possible to hear examples of your work with this process anywher...

My vote for the WMD Micro Hadron Collider. It is a dual filter and though it has a lot of CV ins and Audio ins/outs, its power is in its internal routing system. You can easily choose filter types and serial or parallel or independent souring. They can share CVs through a normalization setup, of run...

I invested heavily in VCAs (couple of QVCAMs and more), Q: Could you elaborate more here? My latest use of my modular has been primarily non-tonal soundscapes and textures (sometime a full sequence loop though). The wav players and granular players are heavily filtered and I basically control their...

A little over a year ago I changed my system radically. I has just gotten a Wav player module and it totally changed the way I used my rig. I ended up selling all but two of my VCOs and bought some Nebulae 1 modules and a 4ms STS sample player. I sold the Nebulae 1's and got Nebulae 2's and another ...

I still have an old Echoplex (used to have 2 of them) that I should spruce up but it needs a new record/erase head and I don't know where to get one. All the old vendors I knew of are there no longer. I modified mine to use modified Radio Shack 8-track cartridge blanks. !0 minute loops. Joved that m...

I would stay small but make the smallest size a standard 6U x 84HP cabinet. Pick a brand that stacks easily. Buy more cabinets, or make your own, when you grow out of it. That is what I did. I started with one and now have 6 cabinets and skiffs (down from 8!). I chose Doepfer P6 cabinets because the...

I made a panel for my 4-voice. My unit didn't have a programmer so the SEM-sized panel to the left of the keyboard was filled with a blank logo panel. I had a bunch of switchcraft hi-density 1/4" jacks so filled that panel with every connection I could fit in there. Four voices worth of filter ins, ...

Here is the dimensions and varieties of the Vector version of the threaded strips. You can get these from most all online sources for vector gear. I believe they are for M2.5 screws.
