I think the Doc is right. The Aries is old stuff that hasn\u2019t been around for a while. They are great modules but I don\u2019t think there is anything that that particular Aries filter could do that can\u2019t be reproduced with readily available modules today, IMHO. Unless y

i've been working a lot on the following patch this evening, the heart of which is the wiard borg2: after about 5 unsuccessful attempts over the last few years, i finally managed to actually patch up something similar to a compressor on my modular. the patch goes like this: 10v p

Hi Kwote, i'll raise the tent flap a little and confess that when i see a term like 'analog purity', i am unable to resist the temptation to chime in with some smartass comment...at least on a site devoted to the broad scope of ideas from a visionary like Grant Richter. it's not

really appreciate your comments. i think my exposure to synthesis is still in it's extremely early stages but i will say that the modular domain and CV in particular really suit my style of creation. it's why i've moved on from software and non modular hardware synths. i will say

some time ago Cary Roberts and I hacked a Miniwave to support 32x64 wavetables instead of the regular 16x16, effectively creating a PPG wavetable oscillator. if memory is now cheap, can we expect perchance a super-Miniwave in Wiard's future? :-) tx >Back in 1999, a 27C512 EPROM c

Hi James, No problem. I can tell you the most about the Envelooper as I am almost ready to start PC board layout for that one. Back in 1999, a 27C512 EPROM cost about $5, now the 27C801 EPROM, which is a 1 megabyte unit is the same price. So all the new designs are going to use t

1979 is the date Wikipedia has listed. For what that is worth. There were two versions, the 800 and the 800XL. The 800 had plug in expansion boards (for like 16K of memory). The 800XL was pretty much and all in one unit with a whoping 64K of DRAM. I put one in a suitcase in 198?,
