Wiardgroup

So there I was rooting through the photo section when I chanced upon 
the original Wiard design, deemed by its makers to be too small and 
dull.

THAT's the look!! 

I could snout-slap you guys for not continuing in that vein.  Then 
again, such utility might only appeal to imperious knee-jerk 
Carlosians like myself.

Is it for sale?

My guess is that what you found was a picture of the prototypes.  The proto's look that way because Grant wanted to 
interface them with  Aries modules.  Every Wiard module has at least one aspect to it that had never been done before.  
He needed to be able to try these new ideas out (circuit design & functionality ) with some existing normal modules (ie: 
Aries) to weed out the exceptional ones from the okay ones.  
	By the way, have you seen some of the new non-300 series (ie: blue) modules that he has been working on 
lately?  They are visually more up your alley!  And they are cheaper too!  

PS:  my Wiard has been in my living room for 3 months where I can experment with it yet not look like I left some large 
heart monitering equipment laying around..... my girlfriend even thinks its okay there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I forwarded that to Elhardt yesterday as he is also of the mind
that functional is essential. I don't think that the world needed
another black-faced clone. Grant was right to pursue another
direction. 

Dude, anyone will make the panels you wish. Speed is just
a question of money. How fast do you want to go? :-)

Get Ken Stone to make him some Cat Girl panels. That oughta make him
happy.....   >;-}

John, it occurs to me that as the Wiard's pots, sockets and LEDs are not 
circuit board mounted, if there are any of the modules whose functions, 
sound etc are interesting to you, you could have Synthesizers.com - 
style front panels made up to take them.  The Wiard is powered by a 
+15v/0/-15v DC supply, so that part of interfacing it would be no 
problem. Larry Hendry and Cynthia Webster have produced panels to bring 
other makers' modules into the MOTM and ModCan systems respectively, as 
you've no doubt seen, so perhaps you could do the same for your system! 
Admit it!  This is an excellent idea!  Get to work man - your fellow 
Arriquistes await!  (I dunno what Grant R wd make of this suggestion, 
though he does do custom colour panels - there's a red one & a silver 
one pictured in the files sect IIRC)

I heartily recommend the Omni Filter and Borg Filters to you as two of 
the finest analogue synthesiser modules available to-day!


(PS I have several email address nom-de-plumes because it comes in handy 
to track where the SPAM is coming from, haha that's the same spam that 
they carefully research yer web usage so as to target you, before 
sending the same bloody herbal vi*gra & expand yr member garbage they 
send to everyone else.  Plus, er, it's phun!)
