Re: mixing modules

2002-06-20 by petergrenader

Blake,

Thanks for the kind words.  Note: not all of the Blacet modules 
like 12 volts!  Look closely at his site and where you'll be doing 
step down as a result.

I ended up using 3 power supplies, not including the wall wart 
for the 16/3,  Two Doepfer 12 volt and One Lambda 15 volt which 
is being pushed to the rail right now in that it's running my 10 
Blacets and the three Buchla Low pass Gates.  I may have to 
bump that up to a 1.5 amp supply.  We'll see what shakes loose.

For clarification, my Blacet list consists of:

4 osc (excellent)
2 Egs (really excellent)
2 processors (terrific)
1 Klang werks (work fine)
1 Final FIltre (OK, not for all tastes)

For the record, I didn't change the faceplates because I do not 
like the Blacet art (although I do think it needed a facelift), I did it 
to get them to conform to the Doe 128.5 height standard and to 
trim them down a little to fit more stuff in.

SIde bar story:

I had the Pleasure of meeting the Founder of Analogue Solutions 
at Big City Music today and his pleasent wife.  They are on 
holiday and elected to come out to the states.  They are really 
really nice people.  His mouth hit the ground when he saw 
everything Roger has.  An analog arsenal the likes I have never 
seen before.

best,

Peter
