Hi,

This is exciting I've been talking to Rex and will be placing an order for my first panel very soon (it's an animal) and I thought since I'm on here I'd post an introduction and thanks.

I'm an experimental musician in Vancouver, Canada and presently I'm working on an interpretation of Dante's Divine Comedy for music concrete and North American Haiku. I've been blogging it at www.wiresource.blogspot.com

I've been learning synthesis for over a year and have built up a small studio. Originally I was pining for a Buchla but when I started to actually research my options I found the Serge instruments more intriguing, more musical and far more affordable to get started on. In the interest of brevity I won't go on much longer in this post. I'm glad to be here.

By the way, if anyone has an M-odule they might want to trade for a fully restored MS-20 please contact me off list at i.am.using.the.internets@... I'd love to get my hands on a creature or other small beast while I wait for my animal.

Thanks.
Chris

yeah, well, i have no common sense about this end of things, so I'd
rather ask before just plugging it all in. I can only see one
solution, but I'd rather play it safe, given my incompetence in this
area....

Just got my animal panel, to join the tkb. So, the tkb has one wire
coming out of it, and the animal panel has 2 - one of them has 4
prongs, and the other has 3 (one missing).

Then there is the distributor thingee and the power supply. So, I'm
thinking that obviously both of the animal panel cables + the tkb
cable get plugged into the distributor, and then the distributor goes
into the power supply. I can't see any other way. But no matter how
stupid this question might be, I"ll suffer the indignity of asking it.
Also have an email out to Rex....

Welcome, Chris -- that's exciting, indeed! Good luck with your 'hunt'.

Regarding traveling with your Serge and portability, take a look in the yahoo group photo album for this list. Some of the members have Zero case mounted systems that look very nice and didn't require any hassle to install, I don't think. Other users have had success with custom made folding cases a la Buchla.

Hi Chris,

I have just joined this group. Nice to see someone from Vancouver here. I moved here from the UK in 2007.

I have just go into modulars myself, having just about filled 4 rows of Eurorack in the last 4 months.

I have just started exploring Serge with the idea of getting a very basic system together by the end of the summer.

Good luck
Richard

Thanks Richard,

are you in Van too then?

There seems to be a small but impenetrable SDIY community in town and that's about it it would seem I love this city but as far as electronic music goes it sucks.
