CW,
I can't think of anything much more spectacular than
one of these Quad setups spinning around a live venue
with the TKB serving up the polyrhythms as they spin
around the dance floor. I see this as the main usage
in this day and age for the Classical Serge Quad
Spinner setup. You could get some interesting effects
using one in a DJ setup with a couple of stereo CD
players running into it. As far as recording goes, I
think everything is heading for 5:1 as a defacto
standard with 7:1 as an upscale cousin. People will
use Protools, Logic Audio, Mackie D8B, and othner
higher end 5:1 mixers to achieve their ends. The
distribution medium of choice for commercial
production delivery will move from Tascam 8 track
format (which is how most 5:1 is delivered to clients
today) to DVD Audio, as soon as the recorders and
media become more affordable. Allready you can buy a
DVD Recorder for a couple of thousand dollars. The
software is not quite there yet at the project studio
level, but will be soon. I believe the quad mixer by
Serge is an elegant and interesting piece of modular
synthesis toolbox. I would love to have one. At this
time, however, My aim is to further round out my
system with modules that are not readily available in
the "shop" panels. My system is very versatile and
borders on being "large" (7 panels). They are all shop
panels, and if I didn't have the "processor" panel in
the mix, I would really be hurting. My focus now is on
the extended filter, variable banwidth filter, dual VC
clock, and the new version of the SSG/DTG/RG seen in
the Animal panel. I do need a larger mixer in my
system, and the basic quad panel would be a good
choice.
