Re: Question about differences

2004-05-04 by Michael A. Firman

I have a large collection of Blacet modules, 12 Wiard 300 series modules, and
a collection of Wiard 1200 series modules.

What exactly would you like to know?

Build quality on both are excellent! The only Blacet module that seems a little
flimsy is the multiple module and that is only because of the non-front-panel-
secured jacks. NONE of the other Blacet or Wiard modules have this problem.

VCO's are different (between the Blacet and the Wiard 300 VCOs) but both have
their unique features and sound.

The Wiard filters (both the Borg and the Filter) are, IMHO, nicer sounding than
either the Blacet Final Filter or the Filthy Filter and generally more functional
and more interesting. That said, the Blacet filters aren't bad, just not very
exciting (again this is very subjective).

The envelope generators of both systems are unique and very interesting.

It's hard to compare the Mixolator with something like the Blacet quad VCA
module. They both have their advantages.

There is nothing like the Woggle Bug, the Noise Ring, or the JAG!
This can be said for the Time Machine (in modular form anyway) and the Binary Zone.

It must also be said that all the modules work well with each other.

If you have a specific question, I'd be glad to try my hand at an answer.
