so after seeing this video....who would buy this module in frac if it were to be made available, or if it were a rackmount version with 1/8" plugs on the front to mount alongide the modular? i for one would buy one!! On 11/17/06, j_inform3r wrote: > > > > > > > Hey everybody. I j

I've seen a lot of custom Wiard 300 Faceplates in the photos folder. Some of these were probably done by Grant but others look like like they might have originated from the Schaeffer program. Can somebody send or upload a Schaeffer FPD file to the group? Thanks, John
2006-11-17 by j_inform3r
In the last couple of weeks I've come across pictures of a single 300 module mounted into a double Frac Rack (like 2 Blacet ones). Technically it can be done because a 300 Series module is the size of two 1200 series sitting on top of eachother length-wise. I dont know whose syst

Andrew, That is an interesting point, that many hear my music scores through 2 inch speakers, although everything that I have done since 1991 has been mixed in 5.1. There are millions of "home theaters" now, and the sound for media in the States is now often 5.1 accessible for th

I should apologize for not showing up with my racks-o-Wiard, like I usually do, but I was attending another musical event that day (and the previous two days) - the Budgetrock garage/punk mini-fest (right around the corner from 21 Grand, the location of last year's AHcali). No sy

Hi gang, Although I agree that filters are like spices (as mentioned in an earlier post), and it’s great to have enormous variety, sometimes one particular filter type just resonates with you (no pun intended). The first filter I owned was a 200-series lopass gate, and its charac

Well, before picking one I'll attempt to convince you to buy them together! I use the Boogie and Borg 2 in combination all the time. I love the sound of the Borg 2 highpass and will often use this in series with the Boogie lowpass, which is especially lovely using the 6db+24db ou

I agree with this. Sometimes for weeks at a time I ban myself from using filters in the usual ways because it's too easy to sit there and say "Oooohhh, listen to the gorgeous filter sweep." It ends up being a bit of a dead end. Bryan >>> syntht@yahoo.com 11/13/06 11:29 AM >>> I t

I think that for the average user, the filtering is the quickest and easiest way to get a 'new sound'. Filters really only need 3 knobs (Intinal Cutoff, Resonance and FM Depth) and by turning these 3 knobs, most filters will generate a wide range of tones that are "musically usef

OK you Wiard-heads! This filter talk has got me thinking I should get my first Wiard flter soon. I have a Noise Ring and some joysticks, and will be ordering a pair of JAGs soon, and was going to order my first Wiard filter next.....maybe I should bump the filter purchase sooner!

Oh! Two good replies in a row - the spice analogy is a good one. I've never felt that as much until now when using both Wiard filters - it's like thyme and oregano. Both delicious, delicate, excellent when combined with other choice ingredients. Other modules add dramatic element

Thank you all for that useful information. I believe I understand now. Each Wiard module in the 300 and 1200 series has a 1K limiting resistor on the output of the op-amp or transistor Class A buffer. This limits the output current to a safe level, even in the even of a complete
