happen. But....
I've been playing with the TS21 Modulator for a couple of days and (to cut
to the chase) I'm not sure I couldn't recreate the results by patching
together a couple of Serge modules.
I have got some really good sounds out of it *and* I don't think it's too
expensive. At around $699 it comes close to the price of 3 Serge modules
which you can't even buy seperately.
I patched into the TS21 from my NTO and got some very strong wave shaping
results, I don't own a Serge Wave Shaper so can't report how it compares.
I got the most ear pleasing sounds by patching my DADSR into the Hellfire's
VCA in and a PCO into the PWM/Beam in (at both low and hi rates).
Disregarding the theory of it all I haven't yet heard anything that was
vastly different from patches I've used incorporating Filter FM, the
Frequency Shifter or Wave Multiplier.
I'm going to buy it because I did get some great sounds out of it. It does
add another dimension to my Serge (or would to any modular) but I couldn't
say I was that blown away by it.
.....still saving for my next Serge panel.
