New Serge M-odule released: the EQShifter M-odule.

New Serge M-odule released: the EQShifter M-odule.

2009-01-05 by Bakis Sirros

hello,

a new Serge M-odule has been released: the EQShifter m-odule.

it includes a Resonant EQ module, a Dual Phase Shifter module, a Dual Audio Mixer module, and an XFAD module.

the Price is 1700 USD.

M-odule sketch is in the photos section of the Yahoo Serge Modular Users group.

thanks,
Bakis.

This function cell complement is superb for feedback experimentation and hidden sonic monkey wrangling!

I use this combination all the time for these purposes...

I find this description intriguing (after all, who can resist sonic monkey wrangling :), but I'm
pretty new to Serge and not that familiar with some of these modules. Can you elaborate on
what specifically about this M-odule makes it especially suited to feedback work?

Thanks,
Steve

Placed within the feedback path of something else you have some
really good potential to do something unusual.

The two main audio processing "modules" are the resonant eq and the
dual phaser. The resonant EQ is unique feature-wise.

Two good modular phasers each with an additional different tap is
certainly better than one. If it's your only m-odule you'd probably
want an LFO source, even better, something to invert it to modulate
the phasers if you want the phasing to move. Of course you don't have
to modulate the phase. You can get some experimental sounds from just
placing a phaser (or 2) in the feedback path.

The x-fader will also function as a VCA so you have a valuable tool
for creating a feedback loop and mix 2 sources even if it's not used
for cross fading.
It's voltage controlled inputs would need something external to
control them like an LFO, envelope, etc.

The audio mixer is a useful tool though it has no voltage control.
You have two channels and one phase inverts, so that's a useful
feedback tool as well as mixing the various outputs before they go
back into something again.

Thanks for the detailed reply, Nick. The one thing I'd like to find out more about is the
resonant EQ but I haven't been able to find much online other than the catalog description. Is
it similar to a Moog Murf? What are some of the ways it can be patch-programmed? Any info
would be appreciated.

No, not really. The MURF imho is more a cool effect than a tool. I
justify that by pointing out it makes no claim being an EQ. The
MURF has built in sequencer patterns adjusting a filter array for a
sequenced filter effect and some sliders to change the levels of the
bands being effected. The Serge is a genuine EQ (boost and cut) with
special tonal characteristics and extra comb outputs.

> What are some of the ways it can be patch-programmed?

With no CV it's more like an inline effect as EQs nearly always are.
You might want to find a later pdf of the printed serge catalog. It
goes over many but not all modules in the M-odules. Serge took a
thought out approach to band placement.

Hi Steve (& Nick)

This discussion has helped me take a fresh look at the pairing of the Phase Shifter with the
Resonant EQ on my Soup1 panel. The EQ certainly helps change the color of a phase shifted
signal.

When it comes to using the EQ in a feedback path, a modulated phase shift produced some
interesting warbles at various resonant points. Adding the wilson delay made it easier to
keep the feedback under control, using peak detection to vary either the filter or time.

Although the EQ doesn't have voltage control, it can really add depth to a mix. When I want
VC, I use a filter.

Serge Buchla case

2009-01-24 by amnesia

what ever happened to that amazing Buchla case copy?????

I would love one!!!!

Re: New Serge M-odule released: the EQShifter M-odule.

2009-01-25 by S V G

Serge designed the Resonant EQ to act somewhat different than other EQ's on the market. With all the knobs at 12:00, there is no effect on the signal. Turning them counter-clockwise will reduce the amplitude of the chosen frequency. Turning them clockwise will not only boost the signal, it will start to ring at that frequency.

Not content with that, he also tuned the frequency bands to be a major seventh apart rather than the more traditional octave tuning. He said that octave tuning tends to reinforce some tonalities more than others. The major seventh tuning nicely sidesteps that phenomenon (while adding its own character).

Hi Ross,

I talked to my metal worker a few weeks ago and he agreed to make a
few!

Problem at this moment is MY time schedule. I am self employed as a
networking consultant and therefore heavily dependant on my
customers booking me...which is luckily $$$ the case until the end
of march.

So my plan is to spend time on those cases starting in april - maybe
earlier.

I am still open on suggestions regarding
- the depth of the individual cases
- how the cables, psu etc are mounted
- where to put the holes (and how many) for the screws to mount the
panels
etc...

Re: Serge Buchla case

2009-01-26 by kkonkkrete

This is really exciting! I'd definitely be interested too.

It would be cool to have an 18 WLS clone as well, to accommodate 9
M-odules or 3 panels + 3 M-odules. Not sure how the power
distribution would work though ...

Still, I'd love to hear more about the 12 WLS clone as it progresses.

Re: Serge Buchla case

Hi Frank

Just got your message :-)

I have my Serge at Ken Stone's house at the moment, so cant measure the
boats but I can ask Ken too.

With regards to the power I would just have a hole on each boat...no
need to get too complicated :-) again i will check with Ken .

Will get back to you soon.

Regards
Ross

Re: Serge Buchla case

2009-01-26 by BooleanYulian

I wouldn't mind having the case being able to accompdate full-depth chassis (5"). If possible.. Could be expensive to convert all panels to lo profile.

In my case, it'd be acceptable to house the psu externally (having the psd inside the case and the male XLR flush mounted on one of the Buchla-esque boats).

I'd be ready to order mine when available ;)

I second this. Internal PSU mounting is not important to me, but internal PSD mounting is.

18 WLS clone should not be a problem because I traded my Buchla 12

"Internal PSU mounting is not important to me, but internal PSD
mounting is"

Ok, that sounds pretty easy then.

Regarding the depth of the individual cases of the complete boat I
will check the inside of my panels if there are "function cells"
that need deeper/normal cases.

If you know "depth critical" modules, please let me know! I rarely
open my Serge panels but my technician does...

All the best

Re: Serge Buchla case

2009-01-28 by kkonkkrete

You know, it seems to me that this is *such* a desirable casing
solution, that it might be worth talking to Rex directly about it. It
always surprised me that Serge didn't offer more in the way of cases.
I don't know if he'd be interested or not, but I'm pretty sure that
he'd at least be willing to give recommendations about power
distribution, module depths etc.

About the 18 WLS clone, first of all congratulations on upgrading your
Buchla! Second of all, I'd definitely be interested: my ideal
configuration is 3 regular panels + 3 M-odules. The only question is
whether this would really work in terms of the spacing. The M-odules
are less than half the width of the regular panels, so there would
probably have to be an additional narrow blank panel strip (like the
black strip on the M-boat). Do you think this would work?

Thanks for doing this!

Re: Serge Buchla case

2009-01-28 by metafoetus2002

I agree, my ideal configuration would as well be 3 regular panels + 3 M-odules. However,
I'd hate to have the blank black panel strip between an M-odule and a regular panel.
Seems unnecessary unpleasing in my case, as my system would have alternating positions
of regular panels and M-odules. Please let me explain:

I.e. the bottom boat could contain from left to right an SQP M-odule and a TKB. I want to
play the SQP with my left hand to select different parameter settings (= sounds), while
playing the TKB with my right hand.
The middle boat could contain an Animal and a Dual ADSR (left to right). Here the Dual
ADSR should be positioned close to the Filter and VCA section of the Animal, so the Dual
ADSR should be at the right side.
The upper boat could contain a Triple Osciallator and my custom panel (left to right).
Oscillators typically are at the beginning of the signal flow, so the Triple Oscillator should
be a the left side.

The tricky thing is the power distribution. I do not have an M-odule yet, but I assume that
they feature the same power connector (from Molex, IIRC, can somebody confirm?) as
regular shop panels, right?

The currrent PSD board features 6 connectors, one is needed to feed power into the PSD,
so we are already out of luck using a PSD to power a 3 panel / 3 M-odules cabinet. Mr.
Chip Puller, do you recommend daisy-chaining 2 PSD board to power such a cabinet,
provided that the PSU is beefy enough?

Thanks and best regards,
Jan-Hinnerk

Re: Serge Buchla case

2009-01-29 by fhserge

I would suggest building the cases exactly to fit 1 regular Serge
panel and 1 M-module (no need to include narrow blank panel strip
then...) and you probably are happier with such a solution. Btw: I
did not understand why Rex did not simply half a regular panel into
2 halves to get a M-module but there certainly are reasons, I am
sure...

My metal worker is building what I am telling him to build...the
Buchla boat was simply an "idea" and it obviously helped him a lot
to have a "model" sitting in front of him...

All the measurements (width, depth etc) are configurable, therefore
my questions what all you "Sergians" would like to have.

The ONLY thing to know is "what is the EXACT width of an M-module"?

Although being a "Serge flight captain" I only have regular panels
so far.

All the best

Frank

What boats do you have?

As far as I know the TKB is the only one that is deeper than the normal
pre M series boats

Re: Serge Buchla case

2009-01-29 by fhserge

I have "regular" (4,5 inches deep) as well as "transit style" (2,5
inches deep) Serge cases.

In the Buchla case the middle boat is slightly deeper than the other
two.

With the Serge Buchla case we could do the same and mount the PSD in
the middle boat.

If no one here gives me details on the typical/requested case depth
I will unscrew my panels and see.

Re: Serge Buchla case

2009-01-29 by stkorn

Not sure if this is what you're asking but I know I will have two 4.5" chassis and a 2.5" one
(TKB). As someone mentioned, If the boat can be designed to accomodate the deeper
chassis it would probably save alot of people money on having to swap out to the
narrower chassis.

I doubt you would want to do that. The PSU is over 2" deep (small and medium
supplies), with bare mains connections at the top. This would put them
unacceptably close to the circuitry of the modules.

How long is a piece of string?
Some modules are near 3 inches deep. The dual channel stereo mixer has two
1.75 deep inch assemblies mounted at the back of the boat. Needless to say,
they are positioned so they don't coincide with a 3 inch deep module.

The lips to which you screw the panels are a problem too, as they have
cutouts along most of the length to allow for the panel to be jiggled into
position, as the screw holes are closer together than the width of the
circuitry.

Re: Serge Buchla case

2009-01-30 by fhserge

Ken, maybe I am confused...but are you/we talking about the PSU or
PSD?

You can mount the PSD (and that´s the only thing that should be
mounted inside a case) even in a 2,5 inch deep transit style case
that houses a TKB (I just checked that). The TKB is probably the
best choice as there is very little circuitry in the left half of
it. Plenty of space for mounting the PSD.

Regarding the "screw holes are closer together than the width of the
circuitry" I simply do not understand...possibly because I am not a
native english speaker...

I really appreciate this discussion as there is no pressure to do
things wrong...the more ideas the better...

All the best

PSU. Other conversations I have had considered the PSU. The PSD is not a
problem. I am obviosuly confusing myself.

The screw holes for mounting the panels to the boards are closer together
than the width of the circuitry on the back of the panel, due to the
mounting rails and wire ties sticking out just a little bit too much. Serge
boards have trimmed away some of the mounting lip of the boats, to make it
easier to mount the panel to the boat, other wise it is very hard to get the
circuitry to go in the boat because it hits the lips.

People have put the PowerOne power supply inside TKBs in shallow
boats. This was suggested to me when I bought my first Serge panels
(pre Rex). There's room enough over on the right where there are only
panel parts, no circuit boards. Mounting it so the flat aluminum side
of the power supply is against the wall of the boat is best for cooling.
