I measured the time period of both the Buchla 280 and 284 modules. In normal operation, the Envelator extends an octave above and below both of them. High end - 280 and 284 = 350 Hz Envelator = 690 Hz Low end - 280 and 284 = 20 seconds Envelator = 45 seconds Also the Buchla syste

Grant has agreed to assemble and send to me retrofit kits for my Envelators to make the modification specified by Christophe. It is quite simple, involving a ganged pot-switch (pull on, push off) with a capacitor soldered on the switch. Two wires are attached to a location on the

The other day, Grant told me of an very useful patch with a Waveform City that helped me to troubleshoot a patch involving ghost errant triggering when the last gate out of a Sequantizer was used to step a second Sequantizer. Setting the Waveform City to Bank 0 and Wave 0, and tu

Christophe, The dual Sequantizer is really cool - when linked, it operates just like the 8 stage unit, except that it is 16 stages. It was important to me that the 0-10v range would select all 16 stages from the SEL input. This is accomplished by multing the cv to both the left a

I have just replaced the last photo of my system with a more current one, which has 6 additional first generation modules that I purchased a few weeks ago (originally Ben Vehorn's system). (modules, l to r) Envelator, Sequantizer, 2 Waveform City's, Filter, Mixolator// Mixolator,

If it hasn't been posted here, there was an aleatoric competition at the TGS modular forum, and the voting is over and the players revealed. An anonymous TGS member known as kubrick_as_in_stan did piece number 4 on a Wiard system. Check it and the others out: http://www.midiwall.

Hello all, I just posted a photo of my finished system in the photos section. Thanks to GRichter for making me this remarkable device. Of the many uniquenesses of this system is the linked sequantizers that can operate as two individual units, or as a single 16 stage version. I r

Dear Gang, Yesterday, I received my first Wiard modules (Waveform City, Borg, and the Woggle Bug). All I can say is that I'm in awe of the sonic potential here! My system has Doepfer and Analogue Solutions modules (along with my MS-20 and Pro One - both bought new when I was in H

Thanks for all the insightful comments! Bernie Hutchins has an analysis method of putting things in a grid form to look for "blank spots" in the grid. For example, we can form a 4 place grid by using "Audio" and "Control Voltage" as two quadrants and "Generator" and "Processor" a

I believe one of Wiard's strengths is the integration of features and functions. To me this means more than adding VCAs or AR generators to modules, it is the interaction between the functions that is interesting. To date I only own the Wogglebug, but this may be one of the best

Grant has just shipped to me a pair of Sequantizers that are linkable into a 16 step unit, or switchable back to two independent 8 stage modules. I haven't received it yet (he shipped it Wednesday), but I am very excited to have it. Gary --- In wiardgroup@y..., mark verbos wrote:

Wow. Boy is the joystick a fun controller. Used it with my Blacet Miniwave, three Wiard modules (classic vco, borg, wogglebug) and finally through the Metasonix tube bandpass (which has all the subtlty that their other tube modules have -- yum!). Very satisfying. ginorobair

Reading the posts, I miss threads about the Wiard itself. Why it is so good, or what should be tried out immediately. There are so many things. One thing I point out on every occasion is the sound of Wiard's VCO modulated with another one with linear FM. Take two sine- outs and p
