Uh, which knobs did you order? I've been replacing MOTM knobs with exact Modcan knobs and they've got pointers. Will look up the part number and stuff for you tomorrow morning... -----Original Message----- From: cyndustries [mailto: cynthia.webster@... ] Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the reasoning behind Rex not selling individual modules was down to him not wanting STS to expand beyond his capabilties or wishes. I'm sure R&D costs are prohibitive for new modules but if Modcan and Wiard can do it I'm sure Rex could

As far as I know, all the Serge modules are already based on individual independent circuit boards. With a few exceptions, all that's needed is a mechanical rework. Maybe if Rex & Bruce Duncan worked something out then Serge modules could be available individually... Bruce alread

The main exceptions out of the stuff I'm getting are I suppose Blacet and Wiard I think the FENIX people also had daytime jobs, but what about Doepfer. Ok his stuff is considered as for the `mass market'. And also I'm nit the only one who does not understand why Rex still res

greetings: phase one of this project is completed. i installed banana jacks in 2 (each) doepfer and analogue systems modules, which was a piece of cake, particularly for the AS units, which both had separate PCBs as mounts for the 1/8" jacks. the doepfer units had the jacks mount

My choice to not opt for a Serge synth was heavily influenced by the fixed panel design, both in the all at once cost outlay and the inflexibility once the panel was "fixed". I think that the Serge synth would have been my choice had this not been the case. From a functionality s

Hello Bill, Have you resurrected Monster so that it can play with your Serge? Seems like they would be a good combination. I've gotten into a rut of building and not playing. Somehow building is strangely addictive to me. Romeo ----- Original Message ----- From: William Felton bf

Coincidentally, I spoke with Rex hardly an hour ago. We discussed, peripherally, research and development and new modules and so forth. Bottom line for Rex seems to be that this is not a good time to be sinking money in R&D as opposed to maintaining build quality and keeping the
