I have uploaded the Comdyna GP-10S brochure to the SergeModular Yahoo group file area. URL is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SergeModular/files/ . It is 2 jpeg files. Ray Speiss reiterates that the price is $950. He expects to have a web site created soon for this model. John Loff

Hi, I'm new to the list, and don't actually own a Serge (that will change one day!). Currently, I occupy myself with a Nord MicroModular and Korg MS2000 --not quite in the same league as Serge/STS, I know. Anyhow, this auction on Ebay caught my attention, and might be of interest

2001-05-05 by Microtonal
Well, I don't know if I buy the analogy that a Serge is "slower" than a 2600. The Serge has a lot of functionality hidden behind the front panels instead of just the basic circuits. For instance, the S/H Source output on the Noise Source module. This is a frequency modulated sawt

Hi Richard et al, there is no need to send Comdyna specific requests to Dan Slater. Ray Spiess has asked him for advice on details during the GP-10S development because he is not experienced with musical applications himself; he got interested by a request in autumn 2000, "for th

Hi, no reply so far from Dan. I don't want to seem like I'm always asking off-topic questions. but have people found that since they've had a modular taht they use their other synths far less, esp polyphonic ones? I got a XTk last year, but I tend to use my Fenix for everything.
