My impression was Rex was trying to discourage business. I guess this is the ultimate solution. IMHO, The Serge system could have been a much more vital force in popular music. Look at the rise of MOTM! CW
2003-10-12 by Peter Grenader
And to think...the Serge was originally developed to be an inexpensive option. OK, things change. Brittney Spears used to be this cute little adolescent singer and we knew that wouldn't last and it didn't, but some of these prices here are outrageous. My questions: I've heard he

You'd most likely have to pay over $1k for a Buchla Oscillator. Funny thing is, the older Serge stuff goes DOWN in value. CW

just now took a look at the new prices and i must say i'm amazed. Rex said some time ago that he was going to do this. Wow...this is some steep shit. I'm not sure how he figures anyone can afford this stuff anymore. I've had a panel on order for almost a year and it's for sure th

Ups, PanDrop@3/9 looks like an email address, but it was just meant to be an abbreviation for the "Panning produces a level drop at 3 PM and 9 AM o'cloc= k position". Sorry, Jan-Hinnerk --- In SergeModular@yahoogroups.com , "metafoetus2002" hinnerk.helms@t...> wrote: > Chris, > >

Chris, thank you so much for verifying. I can feel peace of mind again :-) Regarding the explanation, however, I am unsure if this PanDrop@3/9 is caused by equal power panning. My Mackie mixer 1604 has equal power panning, and it does it without level drops. Reading EGRES/Wizardr
2003-10-11 by Chris Whitten
Interesting. I still haven't found a module by any company that performs panning with a minimum of fuss. Most modules I've tried audibly clicked between sweeps. CW
2003-10-11 by Peter Grenader
The drop you are referring to is the dreaded 3dB cut in the center caused by panning via crossfading. Personally I can't go into details about how the UAP overcomes it, as I don't know this circuit, but yeah, this is what the equal power panning function is all about. - Peter par
2003-10-11 by paradigmshiftbeats
Jan-Hinnerk, My UAP (also part of an Animal panel) behaves identically to yours. This, I believe, is a function of the Serge "equal-power" panning versus the linear panning we're generally accustomed to. Perhaps some of the more experienced members can shed more light on why the

Hi, I was able to aquire an Animal, just some month old, from Joe Millar. Very smooth deal, good trader. After the first blast of excitement, I discovered the following. I feed a sine wave into the right input of the [UAP] and switch the [UAP] to Pan mode. Now, when I turn the Pa

Hi. I'd like to know if you ever had a problem with crosstalk, EMI or RFI or any kind of interference or problem when using the non-shielded cables for patching the Serge. I'm talking about, say, 12 panels (three frames w/3 panels each) heavily patched. I imagine you normally use

Hi, I'll try to have a shot at it, In a one-input frequency-shifter [FRS], the built-in signal is supplied by a built-in sine-wave oscillator which outputs two sine waves of identical frequencies, but one of this sine waves is 90 degrees out of phase compared to the other. Serge
2003-10-02 by John Papiewski
Yo, If you think of the FS as a souped-up ring modulator you might get a clearer idea. Now, some ring modulators have one signal input and they use a built-in oscillator to modulate your incoming signal. That's like the first frequency shifter. Built-in oscillator. But some ring

Can the Serge's DSG, DTG and ADSR's be retriggered by just feeding a regular gate into the trigger input (that is, while there is also a gate inside the GATE IN jack). In other words, could fast staccatto notes be played with, say, an MPU-101?

Fear not - I am certain that there are hundreds of releases utilizing Serge equipment - we just don't know about them as musicians and composers who do aren't required to report the event! If the list is short, it's because it's far from complete and it will be a gargantuan task
