Re: Dream plan additional to Serge

2006-06-22 by Cynthia Webster

Howdy!

While I have never actually held a Plan B VCO in my hands, I do
have a few Modcan A-Series type panels already made and in stock (!)
for converting Model 15 VCOs to our black panel format.


They look really cool actually, we made the module a double wide to
maintain the layout of knobs and buttons true to the original, and this
also
left a section for four attenuator circuits underneath. It looks pretty
nifty!

Anyone interested please contact me privately,

Thanks!

ps: please let me make a point of reference and that is that there
is no so called "defect" in our Low Pass Gate circuit. We have
merely done a new PC board layout in back of the module to
make it easier for us to assemble and in the process realized that
we could add trim pots for individual channel resonances back
there as well, cool! (this way you can dial-in how tooty-fruity
or uniform their resonances are between one another to suit your
own taste).

We have had people do side by side comparisone between ours
and the Buchla originals and claim they sound identical.
What these new Low Pass Gates have is ~performance~ a little
bit "beyond Buchla" if you will, in the sense that our new circuit
is over emphasizing the way in which they reach a threshold and
"snap" open so as to actually be a characterization of original.

Happily, we got snowed under by all of the sudden Zeroscillator
orders, (Over (100) units in less than 3 months, and (96) have
shipped so far!) and we did this while still completing lots of
other back orders as well, so I guess the delay on the revised
Low Pass Gate may be understandable, while still not much fun
for the two or three people still waiting for them, (for that delay
I really do apologize and will get on with them!)

This is a good thread to port over to Yahoo's
The Cyndustries List, thanks for the bandwidth!
