I can't believe nobody sells a reasonably priced euro frame that fits into a 19" SKB. Blacet/Paia have this figured out for frac.... euro you have to spend 500 damn dollars for a metal frame from doepfer... If anyone designed a cost effective case for euro they would in deed clea

I'm looking for a rack, but I want it to tilt like the V-synth XT. Roland did something right for once - go figure. They should've saved the money and put some decent knobs on their products:) P.S. Brandon D. - Korg's knobs are slipping too. The microX knobs are extremely chintzy

A quickie on the triple VCA - the upper two cells each have 2 CV inputs, the lower has one, switchable between log and lin responses. I'm presuming the 2 x CV ins on the upper 2 are both log, given that the model 25's VCA is linear? The, I dunno, logical thing for me would be to

OK, there are ways and ways and here's something I need feedback on: One of the biggest problems with EUro are the many many module widths. Not a problem for the modules - the varied widths are a real plus in that regard. The problem are the rails. If you don't use a pre-fab'd IE

While I may have described the Salamander (SMS) power supply system as overkill, it was only so in the cost / weight department. In the stability department it is really terrific. I have never used a more stable analog synth. The combination of system wide coarse regulation, loca

The big issues with switchers is the ripple and frequency which they oscillate (they are named as they are because the current actually turns on and off many times second). If they're switching rate is in the audio band, you're f'd. We are looking into ones that ocsillate in the

The cases which are under development now include a rack system and two desktop chassis, one single and one double width. I suppose they could be used on the road but it would require an outer shell. Possibly when these are released we will address mobile solutions. Presently we

Just when I thought, "well, where the hell am I going to find the space/money for 4 VCOs for the ASR?" Pow! Dual-function LFO/VCO with 1v/oct tracking. These Elf modules will be so fricken useful. The M36 alone is something I've been searching for since I started my modular. Now

Peter, I don't get it - you seem to attract far (far!) more than your share of internet hostility (particularly on matrix). Yet I've never seen a single thing that would indicate that you deserve any of it. Quite the contrary in fact. I guess it's the down side of being a more pu

I'm looking at it right now and I see: Mini Milton + ELF LFO + ELF ADSR + Heisenberg + 3x VCO + Dual LPG + Headphone Pre = a good chunk of the features of the 208. You would need to add reverb, balanced modulation, mic pre, inverter, patch saving, and (of course) a touch controll

I did mess with the pictures a bit. I mean, obviously I took them out of the 'real' background which was a bricked-off windowsill on the side of 292a Main St Pomona. When I looked at them on my PC at work, they looked fine. When I got them home, on my Mac they had a greenish tint

My take on it is: so what if it is CG? It clearly isn't, but even if it was, using a CG mock-up for product announcement is common place. For the sake of argument, if Plan B did present CG for the announcement is that somehow supposed to deter from their cred? It's absurd to thin

Just received a letter from a person who has acused us of faking the new module pictures. "obvious fakes" were his exact words. I've just added a shot to the MIsc folder. It's one of the originals we took outside the building last Thursday. It's the last picture in there entitled

OK. (Just to clarify my 'leads you to techno' comment: The circular arrangement of Mini Milton definitely seems to lean away from the 'tehcno mood'! This is good in my opinion.) Jari Jokinen --- In PLAN_B_analog_blog@yahoogroups.com, "(i think you can figure that out)" wrote: > >

When time allows, could you explain the different "patch" configurations on the Model 30? I'm assuming they're different freq. mod. algorithms, but am curious if they're linear or exponential. Even better, if some audio exists it'd be nice to hear the Model 30 in action. On the M

I hear you, although I don't agree with the 'leads you to techno' issue of the Mini. I just thought it seemed more fun. the center jacks are merely stage gate outputs, not sure it's going to become a problem. How often are all of them used at once in a single bank sequencer? One

I wonder how practical the Mini Milton panel layout will be. The circular arrangement looks good and somehow more "neutral" than 4+4 arrangement. (I have even seen a DIY sequencer with 4+4+4+4 arrangement for 16 steps. That is not neutral at all: It seems to indicate, that "techn

This is a very good point. Let me give you the 411. There are workings one-offs of every module I announced this morning. Some have been up and running since last early last fall - the Model 30 amoung them, although in that it exsists in software we are making changes and adding

Wow, an excellent new line up! I must say it was much more than I expected. Mini-Milton looks awesome, I can't wait to get my hands on that. I was really happy to see that the ELF ADSR has a VC expansion module. 8HP for ADSR with CV control is outstanding. Excellent work! -james
