Just my advice...order all your panels at once. It seems unlikely that you would end up with modules you wouldn't use if you order a shop panel..but that's your call. I have a few shop panels and they are all most useful, but the allure of getting all of what you want in a custom

The fact that the Serge comes in panels and is $$$ kinda makes some buyer's brains run around and around like a a mouse on a wheel. I know I fretted over it too. All you can do is be careful. You never really know which modules you'll be using a lot of, and there's always one or

Hi, there's a bug in the Serge Planner. If you select a quad-mixer (I don't remember... it must be something like that) and hit the Update button then your panel is updated with a quad panner. Check this out. Ouroborous is a lovely CD. Just amazing! Congratulations to John Duval.
