Faceplates and Functionality

2002-04-10 by sdcurtin@prodigy.net

One of the things that attracted me to the Wiard was 
the graphics- it's nice to see a musical instrument 
that doesn't just look like a piece of test 
equipment.  

This was also a way to get the equivalent of the Serge 
dual universal slope generator, which in Wiard is the 
Envolator.  The classic VCO functions as a complete 
voice module, since it also has a VCA and AR.

One other thing I did, though, was buy a bunch of 
blank panels with just the cool blue anodizing, and 
filled them with my own stuff.  Pictures of this are 
on the web site http://curtin.emf.org/.  And no, there 
are no labels, I let the knob layout and banana jack 
colors speak for themselves :).

It was a treat to drive down to Ann Arbor to hear and 
see Mike Furman's dual Wiard rack in action last 
Friday night- well done!  This was the first time I 
saw all the modules in person.  The LEDs tell a lot 
about what's happening in the system and are a nice 
light show in and of themselves.
