I will try to explain a little of the philosophy behind the Wiard modules. It has to do with the "East vs. West" coast synthesizer history. This is an over simplified explaination, some "East Coast" instruments support FM for example. It really starts with the concept of a patch.

The only way I know that 60 Hz hum could get into the JAG is through the power supply. I suspect that your supply is over loaded. One simple test: do you still hear a hum from the output if there is no input connected? If yes, that indicates a power supply hum for certain. The JA

hello to all - okay, a question for those smarter than me on the list (i suspect that includes most of you ! :^) ) - i had the silly idea to try the j.a.g. as a sort of "stereo-izer" for audio signal`s - feed the same source into both the "x" and "y" input`s and take the "stereo"

Hi all I am new to Wiard (it will mean a jump to frac rack) I have looked at Wiard stuff for over a year now and wonder if there is new stuff coming out soon? I think I hear that Grant was making a complete modular? Has anyone banana jacked their wiards to sit in with their Serge

There are technical problems with talking about power draw. It is similar to the problems in the old days with amplifier power. How do you measure it? If different manufacturers use different methods, one may look better than another, but it can be a mirage. Power draw in a modul

I agree with most of your concerns below, but if I have 18 hp to fill in my Doepfer rack, I have to know what the size of any particular module is. You can usually figure it out, so this is a fairly minor point, but there is some basic info you want to see when you're reading a m

2006-08-29 by Robair, Gino
If you’re going to try to get modular makers to agree on something, you might as well try to get a consensus on how many planets are in our solar system... But I fully agree with you that power draw should be one of the things each company notes on their pages. On 8/29/06 8:15 AM

When I'm nominated supreme dictator of the universe, all module manufacturers will have to include form factor (incuding jack size), power draw, and module width on their pages. It's probably more complicated than I realize, however. Bryan >>> stefanbonnet@avenue-des-baumes.com 0

On the Blacet order page there is information about the power draw of each module. I have generally tried to add up the maximum draw of agroup of modules and not go over 500mA per PSU. I've had to guess on most of the non-Blacet modules, but it's not hard when using the Blacet pa

Hi Stefan without any specifics... i suppose the best answer is common to all analog modulars. -regulated bipolar voltage (+/-15vdc in Wiard's case) -as much available current as possible (i use a 1.5 amp supply for the 15v supply in my SNO live rack) -no ripple, as close to flat
