Re: M boats for a 'laptop' modular

2008-02-28 by Y.:P

hmmm,.. I kinda like that idea.. especially if a headphone preamp can be fitted into the enclosure that would house the boats

Hi,

Welcome to the list!

Actually, I think that's a terrific idea and I'd like to steal it from you ;)

Yes, it's absolutely possible with the M-Class. They are housed in aluminum boats and could probably be mounted fairly easily in a shallow box made from the material of your choice. Since the PS2a is so compact and portable, that would not be a significant issue -- it'd be like plugging in a laptop, for example.

I'm not sure how the PSD would be mounted but I think this is probably not a major barrier to creating a desktop or laptop M-Class Mini-Modular. In fact, I believe this is one of many potential configurations that were intended by the new compact format.

I agree, 1-4 "M-odules in small, powered, angled/sloped enclosures would be immensely useful and fun instruments on their own.

What's everybody else think?

Hi there,

This is my first post.

I have a possibly crazy desire to create a lap-top mini modular synth,
probably about the size of a single serge panel. I want to be able to
sit on my sofa with this thing on my lap as a sonic playground /
sketchpad / toy (there I just admitted it) and noodle around making
otherworldly patches without any outboard equipment.

I just wanted to ask you guys if you think this is remotely plausible
with the serge M series. What does a complete M-boat housing look
like (I've seen the individual M-odules, but how about a complete system)?

I want the system to have at least a basic sequencer, 2 OSCs and a
filter, perhaps a bit like an Animal, but with a sequencer built in.
I'm mainly thinking of doing feedback-based stuff, FM and
noisy/klanging pitched sequences. It's such a bummer they stopped
doing custom panels...
