PLAN B analog blog

Hi Peter

You are an amazing synth builder and I know you have way more fans
than haters so dont give up keep making great models for the people
who know :-)

Cray,


Thanks for that, it's much appreciated. 

There have been some changes made recently to the Atrixsynth blog
which will make for more interesting reading.  Negative comments
regarding manufacturers from anonymous posters will no longer be
allowed and will be removed.  You're still free to rant and rave, you
just have to put your name to them.  I'm glad this has happened as
Matrix synth is by far the best analog synth blog going.

Along those lines howeve,r let me dispell some of the rumors that
popped up recently:

1) The Model 12's Mark II change was not done to fix a problem. It was
a performance enhancement only.  I'm always listening and
tweeking...always.  If I come across one I feel is significant, I
incoporate it.  Much like the sine shaper change in the Model 15 rev. 1.5

2) The Model 24 is not a Buchla 266 clone.  It's a completely unique
circuit.  One look at the block diagram on the M24 page on the EAR
site will make this point clear. Noone has done this in quite this way
before.  As far as it's functionality, I specifically asked Buchla and
Associates if they would have a problem with this.  Their answer "Not
at all, everyone needs a wiggly voltage"

3) The Model 13 is close to a Lowpass Gate circuit.  There are some
significant improvements as far as using that circuit with Doepfer
level signals as opposed to Buchla line level.  There are components
put in the Modle 13 that wil not be foind in any other Lowpass Gate
replica - this includes the Cynthia Lowpass Gate, (which I designed)
and the Wiard Borg Filter.

I think thar's about it...for today, anyway.

Hiya Peter.. I did my best to give you props on the Matrixsynth Model
24 post.. and I see that you did as well, Cray.

Too much antagonism going on.. obscuring the fact that Plan B modules
are both high quality and interesting. All of it seems extracurricular
and doesn't have much to do with the actual functionality of these
cool modules.

Last I checked Superman only existed in comic books, and real artists
are very tortured souls... OK so maybe Peter isn't exactly either of
these examples, but he is an asset to musicians looking for flexible
and great-sounding instruments.

He fixed some problems with my Plan B modules in the same day he got
them and sent them back out - the guy stands by what he makes and is
honest. Hey - I got to hear some great music-related anecdotes from
him too.

Peter - watch out for the jealous DIYers and Cliff Jacks.. & thanks
for making cool sh*t.

:)

BEST -  Bryan K.

hello peter,
yes, indeed. i recently bioyught the model 13, 14 and
model 12. all modules are great! and the model 13
LPG's plus the model 12 mark2 sound really great!
indeed the model 12 has a "creamy" quality as
described!
best regards,
Bakis.
