John! YOU were / are owner of Fist of God? OMFG! Major bows of respect to you for amassing THAT monster! The couple of pics that I've seen of it ... to me ... that would be a heaven to be lost within! My current equivalent of 10 to 12 Serge panels is a meer speck in comparison to the size seen in pics of the Fist of God. :o
Chilling wonderfully at this mo' to Midnight From Rigel. :) From what I've heard in the 1st 5 minutes of it, I'm greatly looking foward to the rest of the album. :O :D
(I be an ol' timer who 'grew up' on Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel Jarre, etc., with dreams of creating similar and inspired by, some day. :) I hadn't been able to get close enough until this year due to not having enough of a modular built, yet. )

Thanks man but really, what you should be doing is extending major sympathy to me for being one of the most stupid people on the planet for building a ridiculously overbuilt 27 panel system. It became an addiction. I think the final count was over thirty five panels built but I never had that many at the same time as I would shuffle things around when I needed funding for other projects or when I would have brief moments of clarity and realize that I had just too freaking much and had crossed the line and I would sell a few off. . only to be replaced with another "custom brainstorm". The funny part was that when my run was over I realized the the very first panel I ever laid out (with help from Rex) was the best one, . . the basis for most of what came after and my "go to" panel for the entire life of my system.
If you have twelve panels you have more than enough no matter what the configuration. All of Hells Canyon was composed and recorded using only four panels. Cassiopeia's Playground was done with not more than ten or twelve but that's pushing it. So let that be a lesson to all you "wizards" out there. If you can't get on with six to ten panels you need to take stock of your goals and if you can't make the grand modular symphony of your dreams with twelve to sixteen you might consider therapy. Kevin did most of his masterpieces with a sixteen panel system. . .yea, it was so heavily modified that most of us would have found it hard to deal with.
I still have another CD. . maybe two of material (pieces and sketches) that incorporate most of my later panel configurations but I doubt they will ever see the light of day. I'm just not that interested and life's circumstances kind of preclude that nothing will ever be done about that.
I don't miss my system; it was an embarrassment. I do however miss having a few panels to experiment and play with but that's just dream now. I'll settle now for my life long love the guitar.
The Serge Modular was an addiction that for some reason I couldn't shake. The first time I ever laid eyes on one panel was at the Oakland STS office and two thoughts formed immediately in my head; one: I don't have the slightest idea what is going on here and, two: I can make music with this.
my two cents worth
warm regards
