Re: [wiardgroup] Wiard "Uber" East Coast Oscillator now shipping in Euro-style

2010-05-29 by Norman Fay

Well, I agree that euro is not intrinsically inferior to 1200- and 300 format modules (though I do tend to associate it with a/getting ripped off and b/loads of egregriously bad panel designs that make me turn into konkuro when I see pictures of them)

for me a practical problem with the format w/r/t my favourite instrument maker is that I already built a case for 300- and 1200- size designs, with drilled rack rails and 15V power, and I can't see a way of fitting these designs into my case neatly. I could use the euro case I bought to house the (now sold) plan b debacle modules I had to add a row of these pieces, in fact I probably will eventually, but that will put a subset of my Wiard modules in a different place to the others, I like/want to have them all together.

I wonder if it would be possible to get some of these newer pieces in 15V/frac format as limited runs or suchlike. I would be willing to supply schaeffer panels at my expense to make this happen.

best etc

Some people have the impression that the Euro-Format is some how "inferior" to the 300 and 1200 series. Consider them each an orchestral section, different emphasis, different aesthetic results, same "shark-like" obsession with making you laugh with delight for the effort of wafting a feather.

Also all Wiard products interconnect seamlessly with each other. A mixed, 300, 1200, Euro system is not even noticeable by the composer, except for the ever increasing size of the headband you will need for your hat.
