I can't add anything to the chat as far as Serge specific experience is concerned. I once used my Fenix live but copped out by solely generating noise and fm weirdness. Tunes or even being in tune was not a requirement. > The best idea is to build your > patch in your own time, a

Well... My serge has definitely been played Live, but alas, not by me. It's touring life ended when it was sent to a different country to the artist, who then had to make other arrangements for that particular performance :) Apparently he was given access to some instruments that

I played a three panel serge with an electronic music group for about a year. the key is building it into a shock protected case. I had no problem using it while live on stage -- it was the packing in and packing out that proved hazardous. As far as playing the thing live -- you

$9,500 does sound extremely reasonable for so much kit. I guess it's roughly half what you would pay for a new 6 panel system. These older systems do seem to be a bit undesirable and, as Kirk pointed out a couple of months ago, they tend to be highly individual..... 5 PreAmp/Dete

These sort of pseudo-sequences are usually done with a sample and hold, and a noise source. Any varying voltage can replace the noise source - a VCO or LFO for example. Looking at the modules in the Animal panel, it should be easy enough to accomplish. Ken >One more question with

One more question with regard to the sequencing of a single panel (again in this case, a pre-formatted STS Animal)... Is it relatively easy to patch a small modular such as this to play patterns without advent of a sequencer, however random and 'non- musical' these patterns might

2002-08-04 by peter
iirc there is a small voltage leak, at least in the older ASRs i use, so a downward portamento effect can be obtained. i don't think it is an intentional glide between notes. anyway, this is how ivan tch. explained it to me. peter ------ Date: Sun, 4 Aug 2002 08:40:51 +1000 From:
