While I have not sold any of the expander boards specifically for the Waveform City, I can't see any reason why it would not work. You'd have 9 ROM sockets available rather than the 10 with the Miniwave. Regards, ~david~ http://www.hylander.com At 05:34 PM 3/6/2007, you wrote: >I

No offense taken, Grant! It's nice to know that the AR is a true 260-type AR generator, then, isn't it? (In my best Johnny Carson voice), "I did not know that!" gary "Grant Richter" wrote: > > Gary, > > No offense, but the jumper on the board switches the AR envelope from log to

Wierd and cool, but those are highland pipes (which are Scottish and not Irish). The Irish also have pipes (ulleann) which are smaller and softer and played in a different manner. I'm not Irish so I'll have to defer to those on the list who are, as to whether or not this was some

Gary, No offense, but the jumper on the board switches the AR envelope from log to linear. It is shipped with the log setting because the onboard VCA is linear. Either mode should work as an envelope detector. --- In wiardgroup@yahoogroups.com, "Gary Chang" wrote: > > "wiardmodul

Or I could have just run the drum loop into the gate in on my VCO or waveform city and taken the env out to the borg filter. That would have been much easier. The Rube Goldberg approach can be fun too though.

I Decided I needed an envelope follower in a patch today and wanted to use my wiard 300 system to create it. Wanted a filtered drum loop whose filter opened and closed in sync with the volume of the drum loop. Here's what I came up with. drum loop into Borg filter in out to mixer

Just get the software from Frontpanel Express or Schaeffer and design one yourself. If you feel generous, post the file here in the files section for others to use. If you ask John Blacet nicely, he can tell you where to find a mechanical drawing of his faceplate grid. --- In wia

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question, but just want to say that you should really consider sticking to the Waveform City. I know the Mini Wave is a very popular module, but you'll be giving up the saw, triangle and sine waves of the Waveform City. And believe me, once

The latest Borg 300 also uses the slower vactrols. Whether Grant could/would build one upon request using the faster version is for him to answer. "Michael A. Firman" wrote: As far as response time goes, you are correct for the existing (currently circulating) 300 series modules.

2007-03-05 by Michael A. Firman
As far as response time goes, you are correct for the existing (currently circulating) 300 series modules. I'm not sure if that statement is correct for a freshly minted one. I suspect a new Borg 300 would have the same vactrols as the ones found in the 1200 series. This will hav
2007-03-05 by Gary Chang
If you go with the 300 Series form factor, you can get Grant to special order your 1200 modules in a dual module faceplate - I have a Boogie Flter LP/HP pair and a Borg 2 filter pair, both installed as 300 series modules - I intend to eventually have at least one more dual Borg 2
2007-03-05 by cray5656
So, he says knowing nothing about electronics, couldnt you just replace the opto-isolator in the 300 series on one side so you have 2 versions in the one module?
2007-03-05 by damon
There's more differences, listening to the pair they behave quite different. I'm guessing the response time of the opto-isolators is different, but perhaps more? I have vague recollection of this being described in detail here before, perhaps some groups searching would bear frui

2007-03-05 by Michael A. Firman
The 300 series Borg is a dual module, i.e. it is really like two 1200 series borgs in one box. It also has two LFOs on-board (that produce Triangle, Sawtooth, and Square wave outputs). --- In wiardgroup@yahoogroups.com, "cray5656" wrote: > > This may have been asked before. > > A

This may have been asked before. Apart from size, what is the difference between the 1200 and 300 Borg filter, I see the 300 has more jacks so I assume you will be able to do more? If I create my own box for say 5 300 series can I put a 2 Frac WIards on top of each other to measu

Hmmmm, some people would describe MP3s as "metallic sounding with not much bottom end". Also computer speakers are usually bad. I'll put the Boogie Filter up against any filter ever made for "phatness". It blows away a transistor ladder. It is a modular synthesizer, the sound is
2007-03-04 by Michael A. Firman
It can be. I certainly can make it sound "Moogy" if that's what you're asking. "The Omni Filter" can certainly function well in a nice bass patch. I'm not knocking the 300 series filter for this purpose, but if you want a very booming, balls-to-the-wall, knock the pictures down,
