Hmm Does anyone know *anything* on the status of the Noise Ring? I'd love to get one to use in a small Blacet rig. Actually I'd like to see what else Grant may have up his sleeve for the Blacet Form Factor. Out of all the pairs of Modular makers (MOTM/Oakley, Modcan/Cyndustries e

Dave, I have discussed with Grant the idea of having this mod done to my older Woggle unit. He said that it is not a "field-retrofit kit" type of modification, but if I send my other Woggle to him, he would perform the update in the Wiard lair.... Perhaps this mod is subtle, but

Hello all, I recently received a new Woggle Bug that Grant has modified, adding a new, familiar feel. The Rate knob is now a pull-switch, which, in essence, inserts a noise source to fm the LFO, instead of the "woggle" circuit that randomizes the LFO in the original unit. This mo

Hi fellow Wiardos, It's not Wiard, but will interface nicely... I'm declaring my pair of Buchla barber poles for sale. This is happening only out of need for money (I lost my job due to economy measures). The modules were never used; this will be as good as if you bought them dir

That's wonderful news, in many regards. It's the first time I hear of not only a Wiard, but any of the contemporary modulars being used for visual art. Considering the complexity of the Wiard and how it leans to adventures, students that learned their skill on them will be able t

2003-08-12 by gcmci
The VCA mode replicates the "dual" mode of the Buchla Low Pass Gate, which is part of Grant's inspiration for the Borg. When used as a VCA in a percussive patch, it exhibits the characteristic "snap" which, up to the recent appearance of "low pass" gate circuits around, was an im
2003-08-10 by liquidcolor@earthlink.net
No, it's working correctly. VCA mode on the Borg removes the feedback (resonance) circuit for a 6db rolloff. With the control engaged but set to minimum there is nearly no feedback, so the sound is very similar. If you listen very close, you'll notice the VCA mode is slightly bri

I've never owned an EMS, but I've messed around with them a few times (and I got to briefly experience a wall-sized 100 in a German studio earlier this month!), so I'm not really speaking from experience. But before I bought a Wiard system, an EMS was at the top of my synthesizer

I have both, and they're both great but different. The Synthi is usually (depending on mods, age, condition) a lot less stable and predictable than the Wiard. But both are excellent sonic playgrounds where experimentation and chance can play a part of the creative process. It's j
