I recorded the backing sequencer parts I programmed for this gig into "cubase" before I pulled all the wires out. I was pretty loaded last night, so apologies for any fluffs & mistakes. (this is why the weird noises bit at the end goes on so long. I could listen to that all night

No apology necessary. You are the one slaving over the hot stove, so you should decide what's on the menu. Besides, there will always be some disappointed people because we all can't have all the Wiard that we want. ;-) I do have a space designated in my small Frac rack for a JAG

I'm a newbie to all this, but I must say the 1200 series is some of the most exciting Frac stuff out there. It was one of the big pushes for me to get into modular synthesis, vs say, getting a little phatty or something like that. Being able to take a small bite into Wiard stuff

Grant, I totally agree with what you are saying. I sold my small 300 system a few years ago, and have been kicking myself ever since. I think that the larger form factor is the way forward for innovation, and I'm sure most Wiardos would agree, though I also like all the frac stuf

Wow. the new controller looks great. I especially appreciate the fact that it doesn't need any rails to help mount it into a rack case. I'm assuming I can still use blacet power cables and psu500 to power it right? appreciate that you're keeping the borg and boogie 1200's. but I

well i'm new to modular synthesis in general and just have a small blacet system right now. but i dig the size and simplicity/complexity you can get out of a frac setup. i'm sure the larger stuff works great though. just depends on the users in the end. On 6/23/07, eric f ach_got

What would be great is if we could all agree on what modules we want "next" so Grant could do runs on pre-paid modules knowing how many are wanted by the general Wiard buying public. I would be perfectly happy with some sort of organized batch ordering since I am interested in a

Hi Doc, thanks for your message. I already have on order the Wogglebug. It is now illegal in the EU not to have a Wogglebug. (Or you need to go through a major form filing exercise and no one wants that, do they?)The second module will be..the Envelator. I felt I did need another

A 300 module can lean on it's rear enclosure, if the instrument is studio use only, a cabinet may not be required. The back sides of the bottom portion jack field and top most led section and the are exposed however, Maybe you might wish to join the modules together with a rail.

sure, i had only one rack and 2 spares for a while and it worked out fine. They just sit at an angle, just be careful when patching so they don't get pulled and fall over. I guess you could get two pieces of wood to screw them into for stability. bryan On Jun 15, 2007, at 8:01 AM

Hi, I started ordering my 300 Series modules plus one rack. Being a fairly quick person I see there are more modules than can be fitted within one rack. Medium term funding means 2 racks are probably not possible. So I've been agonising over which 6 modules to go for. But I vague
