SergeModular

"The early filters especially have been called dirty and grungy, the new
ones are
very clean."

Interesting. Anybody have both vintage and STS era filters to compare?
Anybody know
why they are cleaner now... design/components?

"One funny thing about the Serge I've noticed is, it sounds very different
in the
hands of different musicians.
I think the Serge has less of a distinctive sound than a Moog or Arp - more
of a
mysterious character."

Interesting point again. The lack of much commercially released Serge based
material makes it difficult to validate my
previous statement that the Serge has a distinctive sound I guess. It based
more upon my own patches and I guess
my patches are dominated by the use of my fave modules - the middle Wave
Multiplier (especially sine/tri waves),
the Res EQ and the VCFQ in trig mode. I've only recently gotten some sharper
edged sounds by learning how the
using the Trig In of the ADSR starts and shapes the env's differently from
the regular Gate In mode. Wonderful stuff.. but a lot to remember!!

Hope the forthcoming Serge Users CD will give me a better angle on the Serge
sound.
