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

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

Modcan is nice. Good build quality, nice feature set, and a really clean, precise sound generally. I've had my system for a couple weeks now, and I'm more than happy with it. I've had the chance to play with Moog, Buchla, Serge, and MOTM modulars, and I'd say the Modcan holds its
