[sdiy] Serge synths modules

[Olav Martin Kvern]

Colleagues,

I was lucky enough to own a collection of Serge modules, and foolish enough 
to sell them. The Serge stuff is great--similar in philosophy to Buchla, but 
with a slightly different flavor. The modules are definitely worth checking 
out.

The packaging was really interesting, too--you'd start with an aluminum 
panel with a pre-cut matrix of holes, then cover it with a laminated sheet 
of paper bearing the control names, etc. All of the modules were designed to 
fit into the panel (though, admittedly, the control locations were not 
always ideal). This was a good design solution in the days before home CNC 
machines and Front Panel Designer.

I still think that the Serge Touch-Activated Keyboard Sequencer is one of 
the coolest controllers ever. I've been meaning to make a microcontroller 
version of it--it'd be fairly easy to do--but haven't gotten around to it.

Thanks,

Ole
