LINDHOF MODULAR

LINDHOF MODULAR

2002-06-27 by jmaddocks1975

Anybody heard of the LINDHOF MODULAR?
Its a new modular VERY limited, only a few modules been made for it. 
I been offered the Resonator (comparable to the filter of the Korg 
PS3300 synth or the triple resonator on the Polymoog, so I'm told)

Also a Voltage Controller Distortion/Waveform Clipper which is a 
more harder version of the doepfer A-116.

Anyone heard or used these modules?
Please let me know what you think as I can't hear them before I buy 
them.

Thanks
John

Search the archives, there was a bit of discussion between Florian and 
Paul a couple months back.

are these modules available right now? how limited are they? do they 
fit in the doepfer case? do they use the same power voltage 
requirements? anyone heard some of the limiters? the ssm might do the 
trick,it would killer to have them in a rack instead of using 
outboard gear. finally someone built simple limiters for a modular. 
the sequencers look different by looking at the switches. i wish i 
could read german, that way i would not have to ask all these 
questions. if anyone could answer them, i would grateful. thanks.

B egg the structure was paid attention to clearly defined functional 
units and a well-thought-out arrangement of the control elements. All 
modules cannot be exchanged among themselves, thus it restriction of 
the combination and extension possibilities give. This was realized 
by a uniform first shot system, with which each module receives the 
necessary operating voltage over the system bus. In addition the 
control signals gate and CV of the modules are connected by the bus 
system.

thanks for the info. don't you just love babelfish. you should try 
babelfish to translate japanese or korean. it beats the Comedy 
channel in terms of sheer absurdity. could you imagine if William 
Burroughs had access to babelfish? his writing and editing would be 
even more cryptic and surreal. oh well, it would definitely help 
Lindhof to have the site translated for the english modular netizens 
of the interzone.;)

Re: [Doepfer_a100] LINDHOF MODULAR

2002-06-28 by Paul Schulz

First of all most of the Lindhof modules are based on Formant PCBs - some with minor modifications/improvements. For everybody not familiar: the Formant was a DIY-modular back in the late 70ies and was reborn in 2000 or 2001 as "Formant Pro" or "MSS 2000" ( www.helm-elektronik.de ).  
Don´t know in how far it´s limited, but Dirk Lindhof - the owner - offered some ringmodulator DIY-kits on german Ebay a few months ago. Me and a friend of mine got one of them each. Easy to do and it sounds ok, different than the A-114 though based on the same chip. 
The modules are same size as Doepfer, but most of them run with 15V - as did the Formant. Some accept 12V too, eg. the ringmodulator. The ADSR can also receive gate from A-100´s bus, just like A-140.
When I bought the ringmod, Dirk told me if I had a special idea or a wish for a module, he´ll see if it´s possible for him to develop it. The only modules available right now are a Moog-style VCF, an envelope follower and the ringmod. Those are prototypes, empty PCBs with description/ manual or just spare stuff.
for more information have a peep at: www.msc175.de/synth.html  Just klick on the modules. The description "Die Schaltung stammt aus dem Formant Pro." means that the circuit was developed for the Formant Pro.

best,
Paul

I always thought Burroughs' appearance on Laurie Anderson's "Mister 
Heartbreak" was really cool. Lots of great analog sounds on that 
album.

Speaking of Laurie Anderson, has anyone heard her Doepfer A100 stuff?

Actually, that's all Synclavier, and I've always found it extremely 
cold and flat sounding, although that seemed to work well for her 
stuff.
