Hi, Through the grapevine (I recently talked with a friend and neighbor of Rex's), I know that Rex is in the process of moving (still within Milwaukee), so I suspect that his life is in a bit of turmoil. This is no excuse for "disappearing" but it probably explains why you haven'

Hi Folks, Anybody talk to Rex for a few days? I've been trying the STS number for two weeks now and get the "memory is full" message. So I finally tried his home phone - the number has been disconnected. I was told by Rex to expect a panel to be delivered via Fedex the first part

2003-11-08 by Dean Batute
Hello Greg...and all....sadly this seems to be a common missunderstanding ...and rightly so. FM or frequency modulation is just that "modulating the frequency" so it's safe to say that ANY input that modulates the Frequeny is an FM input. For some reason some synth manufacturers
2003-11-06 by foleymachine
hi, i am curious about the difference between the fm inputs and the attenuating/inverting (i.e. not the 1v/oct) cv input. i tend to use them almost interchangeably, except that when i put a low frequency voltage (or sequence) into the fm input, there seems to be a fixed slew rate

Hi, About the DUSG bipolar out... I always found references to it as a modification (I know current DUSGs have this output) It is a mod that one can do to an old DUSG, like adding a capacitor from the normal output? Or it need to be sent to Rex? Thank you, Fernando

2003-10-25 by Dean Batute
Is the PWM effect similar to the other brands...NO..it's the SAME! Every analog synth VCO out there with a pulse output (fixed width or varaible) is created with a comparator of some sort. One might argue that the type of comparator used will have an effect on the quility of the
2003-10-25 by cuari7
Is the PWM effect obtained from these modules similar to the conventional pulse-width modulation found in vco's like MOTM, dotcom, Doepfer, etc..? In other words, will it give a nice, phasing, chorused effect? Let me know, gang!

2003-10-23 by John P
I'll have a crack at it. It is pretty much what you said. If instead of sending a pulse to the trig input you send a step trigger to IN, then this will act like retriggering.. I don't think the similiarity is perfect though. But if you have say fast attack & moderate to long deca

2003-10-20 by Fernando
Hi all, I always heard that the DUSG can't be retriggered. I believe, it will ignore a new trigger until completion of it's cycle when triggered by it's Trigger input. But, what if you feed trigger signals, or just short pulses, by it's signal input (IN) ? Say we have rise at fas

Chris, Good points - although I would take the opinions stated in this list as the viewpoints of individuals as opposed to factual information. So it could easily be neither. Comparisons to other systems is warranted, as price points, wallets and subjective values will determine

On the one hand, I'm not much of a gearhound - my system is small and while I think about adding a thing now & then it hasn't been in the cards for a while. Rex has done nothing less than a heroic job of not breaking what's good and polishing what needs polish. He deserves to mak

My aim was to provide a few more data points for everyone to consider, rather than take a position. I have had to deal with internal power distribution issues in pre-STS panels, a difficult problem to troubleshoot at best. However, my new panels have been rock solid and much impr
2003-10-14 by Peter Grenader
Not trying to start a flame war, but while I wholeheartedly agree that STS has greatly improved the exterior cosmetics, this alone being enough of an undertaking to warrant praise, the changes under the hood are not as evident from the old days and I take that from my own recent
2003-10-14 by Chris Whitten

2003-10-14 by Bill Sequeira
A few thoughts prompted by the excellent comments issued by Stephen. STS has taken Serge to a completely different engineering and manufacturing level from the systems manufactured in the '70s and '80s - anyone with panels from those decades can immediately tell the difference. A
2003-10-14 by S V G
Rex and Serge are two entirely different people. Yes, the spirit of Serge Modular is no longer present at STS, this is inevitable. It sounds to me as though the instrument which was once made for the domain of the poor musician is now being made for the domain of the university a

I think prices where too high before. Serge synth began as a workshop, so Serge, his students and other composers would be able to teach, experiment and make music, since the Buchla was very difficult -well almost imposible- to book. I think selling the serge synth at such prices
