I've had a little exposure to some older Serge stuff... a 10-panel system had a few old blue plastic panels.. Now, I'm not exactly sure where the blue-face panel period came in, but I think there was a time when those were available. They might even have been home-brew panels for

I recall reading somewhere that the very earliest Serge modulars were almost a community affair. Everyone who wanted a synthesizer gathered in a room with Serge Tcherepin and helped build them. Yes. They started off as a "modular for the people". There were approximately twenty b

I seem to recall that all of the modules were available as kits as well as assembled panels. The front panels on the kits were made of some kind of plastic overlay on the drilled aluminum. Looked pretty funky. I don't know when the kits were dropped. Scott --- In SergeModular@y..
