welcome to the left coast! indeed it is much more expensive, and you will probably not be able to find a decent po-boy, but at least you won't be 110 degrees in 100% humidity for a while - - er, i take that part about humidity back - you're in portland. ----- Original Message ---

Well, Gen, the baby, and I just got back to Portland, OR (our new home) after a week of recovering/packing our stuff in New Orleans. The good news is that all I lost was an Akai S2000 sampler (Oh, well; I should be using the computer anyway...). The Wiard gear (Wogglebug, Borg, O

I think it's personal opinion, my setup is MOTM format, and I've got other brands behind scrap metal and platic right now, as long as it works.... I am putting my Blacet stuff behind panels similar to the BLACET->MOTM panels John used to offer (before my time), but definately wou

Are you guys aware of the "Modular Synth Panels" newsgroup? That is a bunch of Front Panel Express files for mostly MOTM faceplates. Larry (RIP) led me to believe that MOTM people would only accept textured faceplates and not FPE faceplates in MOTM format. It makes no difference

The Woggle Bug and Noise Ring are completely different circuits designed to do completely different things. They make completely different sounds/noises. --- In wiardgroup@yahoogroups.com, Spacemodular wrote: > > I am unsure how this can be implemented if it is true. > I haven't
2005-11-04 by Spacemodular
I am unsure how this can be implemented if it is true. I haven't got any Woggle like sounds from my Noise Ring yet. Seems to be entirely different to me, but I would be happy to be wrong. I mostly play by 'ear' and am weak on the 'science' side of synthesis... A little tutoring o

Perhaps I am mistaken, but, I have been under the impression that the noise ring provides the same smooth and stepped functions as the woggle bug. no? Matthew --- In wiardgroup@yahoogroups.com, Ingo Zobel wrote: > > > yes, i'd want a frac'd one too :-) > > best wishes > > ingo >

Yeah - for that matter any of the 300 series converted/mutated to 1200 series would be awesome! But the Wogglebug Jr could be next for sure! Now I have to figure a way to finance the Borg Assimilator... Time to sell some of the old junk that I don't use enough. __________________

Hi Grant - I was wondering if you were considering a Series 1200 WoggleBug? I know the circuit is available for folks with some DIY chops (Richard Brewster for e.g.), but those less fortunate but equally eager a full blown 1200 Woggle would be KILLER. Mike

Website updated with nasty sample MP3s of Borg Filter in high resonance (snarl) mode. Demonstrates how non-linearity in feedback causes chaotic synching of resonance sine wave. I'll add some pretty sounding samples soon.

Wiard is greatly saddened to hear of the untimely death of Mr. Larry Hendry and his wife Anne. I had the pleasure of collaborating with Mr. Hendry on the MOTM version of the Noise Ring, Larry was a good friend to many and he will be missed.
