Blake, You should think about using one half of a DSG as the "backdrop". It's more square (i.e. closer to a CD cover) than the NTO and it, in some sense, is more uniquely Serge. -- | Michael A. Firman | maf@... | http://www.mlswebworks.com

Friends: Since the new 2002 comp is almost complete, its time to get the cover completed. Frank Moreno has contributed some photos. I have an idea what I think would be a neat cover. At SMOG I've posted a very bad mockup of what I envision: http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/se

I got a new panel a few days ago, it's got the WAD on it. As a flanger, it totally kicks ass. As a delay ... it seems okay. I've been trying to figure out how to use it properly as a delay, esp for DC signals. It seems like there's attenuation thru the delay though, and offsets,

Me and my beat up Serge panel.... Now I'm suspicious of the power supply. I hooked it up today, just to check the basic functionality of the PS, and lo and behold: When I hook a DVM to any of the PS pins - + 12, -12, or even 5 V - I hear an audible change in the oscillator pitch.

Pete, Thanks for your answers, they are helpful. Hope you won't mind a few more to complete the picture. 1. If it is going to be rackmountable, I am assuming all connections would be on the top of the device. Left and Top, Left and Bottom? Worried about 32 cables coming and going

Hi John, hi list, it's right, the EMS synthis have variable outs. This could be simulated by having attenuators for the inputs of the matrix. At least one of the reasons why matricses are not so widely used, is cost. A good matrix is _very_ expensive. But a good matrix also allow

That's all well and good. Getting back to the nub of it though ... is it useful to have a non-variable unity mixer to cpmbine several outputs into an input? Bananas have fan-out covered, but not fan-in. If I want to combine several outputs to an input I use a mixer.... Serge outp

Unfortunately I think you are missing the point. Serge is designed around stackable banana jacks, which eliminates the need for multiples in a fan out situation. While I can see the usefulness of the matrix you have created, an entire matrix can be entirely consumed by less than

No pips in my 2002 vintage NTO. This is probably something that can be adjusted with a trim pot. It doesn't have anything to do with the power supply. I don't have any PCOs to measure. My NTO sine does have a slight flattening/assymetry of the waveform, but all waveshaped sines t
