I got mine a couple days ago and I LOVE IT!!! It is absolutely incredible and it's going to take me a long time to figure out everything I can do with it. Yes, the Noise Ring and the MiniWave together are a GREAT pair! I *highly* recommend the Noise Ring and can't imagine my synt

I just thought I'd drop a line here to tell everyone that the Noise Rings are now shipping. Got my production model yesterday (I've been playing with a prototype for about two weeks now). Looks and sounds great. I really love using it as a CV source together with a MiniWave (or W

Hello Everybody, I have been of the net for a week now due to a hard drive crash. I lost the last couple months of e-mail, so if you sent an e-mail and have not received a reply, please resend it. Particularly Noise Ring enquiries. I also found out the spam filters at asapnet.net

With Grant's help I modded my sequantizer to allow for external cv signals to be run into the units quantizer block. This gives approx 1 octave of quantization along with access to the the oct shifts transpose and slide. Messing around with the inside of the unit really brought h

they don't have the indicator line. You could get them from Mouser like that. Kinda useless that way. I have about 100 of them with no line that I bought about 7 years ago and haven't used. Anybody want those? I'll make a good deal with you. mark --- In wiardgroup@yahoogroups.com

This is the nicest Synth I have ever saw. Since 2 years I am working every day on my 11-Module Wiard and am enjoying it so much. And, as I am not the guy making super-complicated sounds, it does sound wonderful with even not so complex patches. Yesterday I just made drones with t

I have taken the first two photos of the Meanie down, replacing them with three newer shots, a front, side and back view of the system. The back view shows the dual power supplies - the top 1.5 amp supply powers the top 12 modules, isolating them for stability. The bottom 3 amp P

Hey Guys I'm on the hunt for a Waveform City, and I have a Dual Joystick Controller for trade - plus cash. The controller does have a small scratch on it. It comes with a power supply. I can also provide pics for anyone interested. Please email me directly at razor@improperchanne

0.5 Hz to 10 Khz is around 15 octaves. A one volt per octave input doesn't have enough range. There is some part of the range that should be near to 0.6 volts per octave. The EXTernal RATE control has an attenuator so you can attenuate the 1 volt per octave keyboard signal down t

Insert a patch cord not connected to anything else into the VCA1 jack. It should disconnect the pulse and make no sound from VCA out jack. The Wiard uses a 10 volt peak to peak signal, which is +4 dBv professional standard. If you are running into a guitar amp, or a 1 volt peak o

With the delivery of the last two modules for Blue Meanie 2, (Mixolators), Grant has done a few things that may be of interest. 1). He has configured a balanced output for both x and y outputs, which are found as a molex connector behind the patchbay panel. This will be attached
