I find the color thing a major problem in my studio. The orange of my Arp 2600 clashes terribly with the bright blue lights on my Doepfer A-100 and Blacet Mini Wave, and of course my Wiard and Buchla Music Easel are stuck somewhere in between. Thank heavens my SEM is merely cream

hi all i have to agree and disagree with mark on this one. i'm in total agreement that an instrument's visual and tactile design are as integral a part as anything else. but i think what's being discussed here is a pretty simple thing. for example, les pauls and stratocasters com

not an insult at all.... a good designer would surely always listen to comments - negative or positive regarding their products. If he feels strongly that his product is a true work of art then he can decline to modify the design in any way... if he feels less 'precious' about th

Lighten up. Is it not proper for a CUSTOMER to request a different design on the surface of his modules....there are lots of diff tastes in the world...whether or not Grant wants to do it is his decision but the question can be asked....he is not God you know. Kurt -----Original

Isn't this kind of an insult to to vision of the designer? A musical instrument is a work of art as well as a tool. When you use it often, you develop an intimate relationship with it. This includes the look and feel. When designing an instrument you take into consideration every

I believe Bode has been dormant on Topica for some time, as is a Moog modular list. "I hope you're not wasting your time" Hey, that's the same thing someone said to me nearly 30 years ago when I started building PAIA kits with my dad. ;-) But, the reality is, it wouldn't be the f

Wiard is really almost a one man show, so he can't keep stock of things really. Each module is pretty much made to order. I think he said 3 weeks for those two the last time someone asked though. The Borg is a great filetr BTW. in the lopass mode it has the Buchla attack that you

Wow! Looks great! Did you convert the Wiard power cord to the MOTM MTA type? Also, what PSU did you plug it into? I'm thinking of getting a Borg and doing this. It would be a dream come true if Grant would offer kits for people who want to fit his modules into their current syste

Hi all, As I have to patch 6 Gates and 6 V/oct almost every time I come up with a new patch, I thought I could do this on the back by soldering some wires. Anyone tried that? For me, "work" would be more efficient and I would have less cables in front of me. My Wiard has 225 jack
