I was disappointed too, but I'm glad that Grant is doing what he needs to do o keep his business healthy, alive, and kicking. Who knows, someday when my frac modular is finished (ha ha) and then when my Modcan modular is finished (laughing even harder now) maybe I'll feel crazy e

I wonder if it would be possible to put in a request for a future Wiard module here - a four into one mixer, with centre-detented pots able to go from full positive to full negative - rather like the upper half of the Blacet mixer/processor, but with additional voltage control of

I finally got around to writing an Excel spreadsheet to calculate all the gain settings for the Xpander switchable mixer. http://www.musicsynthesizer.com/Circuitry/Multi-Function%20VCF.htm That is what that mess of resistors does before UX14, a CD4051 eight way selector switch. A

Grant, Reviving the 300 series is the right decision, but why limit yourself to twelve 300 series modules? Modules should continue as long as you have good ideas. Do those stop at twelve? :-) If we count Envelooper, Borg/Boogie2, Anti-Oscillator and a Noise Ring + "something," th

So I guess I'm in the minority being disappointed that there aren't more Frac Rack modules on the way?

I'm sure there's a lot to be done with electro-mechanical designs, solenoïds, transducers, pickups, "accoustically used" materials...
2007-03-13 by Chris Sawyer
Grant, I am extremely pleased and excited about the 300 series renaissance! There have been some great suggestions so far, and I wanted to try meshing several of them together with my own thoughts in a somewhat different way. First, I anticipate that any new modules would maintai

Hi Dennis, That is a very interesting mod. Those linear VCAs that John implemented are dandy. Most of John Blacet's electrical designs are extremely elegant. He is a very impressive fellow. I really like his ADSR. Of course if John hadn't agreed to package the Mini-Wave we never

I'm glad there're others who aren't speechless. So many good ideas. How will you know where to start? Are you sure you can handle all the orders you're going to get? I've been wanting a system since 1999... I definitely think the modular culture is ready for this. I hope this enc

Very interesting. I actually much prefer the shallow form-factor of the 1200-series - in fact, I now try to make all of my frac-modules as shallow as possible, so that they can live together happily in a portable case. What kinds of prices can we expect for 300-series modules? Ch

I totally agree with Matts suggestions! I like all the Modcan effects modules like the frequency shifter, delay, flanger etc, gives you exponentially more new sounds than everything else. A PSIM alike module would also be fine. Frank --- In wiardgroup@yahoogroups.com, "mritenburg

hi, I'm a bit in shock. I wanted to get Wiard modules but from the website a year or so ago I thought only the 1200 series was available so I needed to go via frac rack to give me basic VCOs etc. I was looking forward to the new Wiard modules mentioned on the list and assumed the

Thrilling news, Grant! It might be worth keeping an open mind on the 1200 module shape - the Joystick and JAG, as you say, fit this format perfectly - I've quite fancied for a while a Wiard matrix mixer with VC levels, and to my mind something like that would fit more easily into
