You can build an adapter pretty easily. You can get banana and BNC connectors/jacks from RadioShack or another electronics store and connect the two together (either by soldering, bending wires, or just using alligator clips.) I'm using the last approach and it works just fine fo

Ha! I only managed to watch the cardboard box, but you gotta love those little piezo elements. Good stuff. I've got a bunch of 'em in a box somwhere from an old foray into sample triggering. As amused as I was, I don't think the drummer much cared for the surprise of incongruous

I use the MFB videoscope module with my modular. It's not the highest quality scope but it works with any TV that has a video input and it was less expensive than other second hand scopes I've seen. You could probably get a VD-01 a Format Jumbler in a mini case and you'd have 12

Hi Matt I appreciate the verification. If it has to be, that's OK by me. Actually, it is a marvelous little module that I am just now beginning to appreciate. The ASR makes a good companion to it - rotating values to the segments. Thanks again jmr --- In SergeModular@yahoogroups.

Yes, the Make Noise Format Jumbler acts as a mult. But it also acts as a jack converter from Banana to 1/8 to 1/4 while also having a grounding banana jack for the Serge system. If you are interfacing your Serge system with EuroRack that module would be hella useful. On Thu, Apr

Maybe I'm missing something here: you don't need mults in a banana system, and you already get a (stackable) common grounding banana socket on the power supply. Rex provides cables that are banana at one end and your favourite TR-plug on the other: these can be used to hook up to
