I noticed while recording a multichannel patch yesterday that, after sorting the ADC and the transformer/ground situation, I could hear the slightest amount of zipper noise in the patch when using the Blacets for panning. (The Borgs will not pass DC, so it was not heard when they

Hello all, I called Grant yesterday, and, as usual, he came up with a great suggestion... Many of you JAG users out there may have had similar experiences with the JAG as I have had - It's a really great module, but when you start using multiple channels of audio or control volta

Hi All, People were asking about live performance a while ago, so I just posted an over-the-shoulder shot of my system from a May 2004 gig. Note the five-module mini-cabinet and the protoboard for quick circuitry changes. Cheers, Steve C http://curtin.emf.org/

To make this announcement even more germain to this group, aside from the fact that Grant is a member of MEME, there will also be plenty of Wiard gear featured at this gig (both 300 series and 1200 series). Hope to see you there. --- In wiardgroup@yahoogroups.com, "grantrichter20

So, as I am one to raise the flag when a milestone is reached, I am here to say that perhaps in the next few days, I will be posting fotos of a completed Wiard system, avec cabinet, etc. Grant, in his inimitable way, has further modified my modules, and Peter Grenader has worked

Holly cow! This time around I stayed out of the debate as John tended to have a "yearly" cycle on his provocative threads - last year we had a long thread about the Wiard front-plate graphics, form following function, and whether personality mattered in a machine. As much as I di

I think I remember this one. To synthesize an 18 dB/Oct. filter like the TB-303, mix the Omni-Filter 12 and 24 dB/Oct. outputs together using the crossfade on the Mixolator. Then turn up resonance (Q) and add distortion with an Ibanez Tube Screamer or equiv. --- In wiardgroup@yah

Hello, A while back I read in the archive how to make the filter squawk like a 303. It's was from an older message. I just looked for that message again and I could not find it. The reason I was looking for this message is the patch to make the filter squawk like a 303 filter use

Since everone seems to like to use Paypal, I've added a Paypal shopping cart to the Wiard 1200 series purchase page. Or at least I think I did. I followed the directions anyway. Next module is a Frac-Rac version of the Borg filter. Hamamatsu has discontinued the Vactrols needed f

Hi Gino, i could never claim that any of my solutions involved 'minimal' soldering but discarded guitar multiFX boards (by digitech,Boss, ART etc) usually have 3 or 4 robust momentary swiches on them. The advantage to these swicthes is that they snap on very fast and can stand up

Another good source for a quality on/off switch in a box would be the sustain pedal for any MIDI synth. At least with the Ensoniqs they were routed so that a single stereo 1/4" plug was wired for power to one of the terminals, ground to the other, and the output of the switch to

Hi, In conjunction with my PSIM-1 (running a quadrature osc program) I've used the JAG to do automated quad panning (the JAG outputs 2,4,6,8 are fed to two of the Blacet dual linear VCAs). Of course you can use a joystick to drive the JAG (instead of the PSIM) to do manual quad p

Interesting comments on using a modular live. I've done it a couple of times, but only in an abstract, drone kind of way. Kudos to Doug for attempting to replicate actual patches. Last time I gigged, my mind went back to some shows I saw in the mid 70's; Weather Report and The Tu
