RE: [wiardgroup] good 1/8

2001-08-07 by Mike B. Fisher

The Analog Systems (www.analogsystems.co.uk) 1/8" patch cables are nice, in my opinion. You can get them from Doug @ Enport - I think they're around $5 apiece and come in 4 colors. They're not long enough for -every- kind of patching but they are long enough for -most-. -----Orig

Genesis of the Wiard modules

2001-08-02 by grantrichter2001@yahoo.com

I should mention a bit about the genesis of the Wiard modules. The designs originated in 1995-1996 with input from the MEME group. At that time there was only Doepfer and Serge actually making modules. MOTM, Modcan, Blacet(new) and all the others have started up since then. 80% o

Regarding the durability of the Wiard 1/8" jacks - time will tell, but I've had my Wiard system for nearly two years and haven't had a single hitch. Granted, that's a relatively short time in the lifecycle of a modular, but I do a fair bit of patching, and whereas I -can- detect

I'm not sure that banana plugs would be possible with the Wiard. One of its primary design attributes is many, many patch points. 1/8" jacks make this possible - I think you'd need an awful lot more panel space to use banana plugs. Mike -----Original Message----- From: Barry Mich
