Sebastian.....and others,
very interesting posts about the Serge filters and your thoughts on the
Wiard system. If I might add a couple of simplistic points...
I see what you are saying about the Serge filter characteristics but
wouldn't it make sense to offer a 'fatter' filter for those times when you
want to patch a VCO, VCF, VCA type sound. I think when people have mentioned
the filters it was really in the context of the Serge being so complete in
every other way.
Comparing Wiard to Serge (and my only experience of Wiard is online so to
speak), the beauty of Serge is that anyone with a little modular experience
can put together very simple patches straight away. The Wiard just looks so
complicated to me. I want to be able to see where to stick my cables to get
a simple patch going without having to figure out new terms like mixolator
or envolator.
Finally, sometimes I find the more complex a patch and the more cables and
modulation I employ the more the sound disappears up it's own arse.
The great thing about Serge and why I would always recommend it is that it
can be so simple and yet so deep.
