French Connection again!

2005-02-19 by Eric Heath

Hello. I'm one of those people that has slowly got obsessed about the
Martenot since I 1st saw one in action and has allways dreamed of
owning one. Now I'm also in a band and seeing Jonny Greenwood with his
French Connection has made me realise if I keep working my arse off I
might still be able to get one. The main controller costs £1200 which
is a hell of a lot for just a controller, so I was wondering if anyone
here knew anything about how I could create the sine wave without
using a massive RS Integrator. Now the French Connection uses CV which
rules out most keyboards and there's no hope in hell I could carry an
Integrator around let alone afford one. Do Analogue Systems sell a
module that can re-create the sort of sound and feel? The French
Connection seems to have 2 CV outputs so would you need 2 seperate
LFOs to create the sounds or do they have a module that does all that?

Also has anyone bought a French Connection off Analogue Systems? Do
you have to order them then they build it for you? Is there a returns
policy as a result? Basically what is the deal? I really seriously am
in love with the instrument but how can I test one, as I might end up
with a system which doesn't work properly and I can't return? If you
email them do they help you with such matters? Their web page seems
really basic and pretty much doesn't tell you anything about how they
work and the only contact is an enquiries email address and a phone
number.

If anyone can help me please email me at el_heath@hotmail.com, any
advice welcome. Thank you.

Eric Heath
