Module-list of the half-modular "Auralesque"

Module-list of the half-modular "Auralesque"

2005-08-30 by waveform100

OK, finally I made a module-list showing all the modules I used in my
halfmodular vector-synth. I refer to this picture on moogulators site:

http://www.sequencer.de/pix/auralesque/Auralesquerechts.jpg

Upper row from LEFT to right:

Portamento: Curetronic "Tool"
VCO 1 and 2: Oakley
Frequency Divider: Blacet
Wave Multipliers: CGS Ken Stone
Vector Sources: myself :-). Just 4 Switches
Vector VCA's with Mixer: Marc Bareilles 4VCA in linear mode SSM 2164
"Steiner Parker": Papareil Synth Labs and Curetronic
"Moog": Curetronic "vcf-cv-reso"
VCA 1: Curetronic
LFO/HFO 1: Curetronic (its the "3rd" VCO, but mainly used as a LFO)
LFO2 and LFO2: Curetronic Dual Shape LFO
EG 1 and EG 2: Curetronic, I added swichable Capacitors.
EG 3: VC-ADSR from Oakley

Lower row from LEFT to right:

Real Ring Modulator: CGS Ken Stone (no Pots, its behind the Jacks)
Mini Wave: Blacet/Wiard
Saw Animators: Cyndustries (dual module)
Noise and Random: Doepfer A-100 (!)
All Vector-Modules: JAG from Wiard, Joystick from Wiard and 2 Mixer-
Processors from Blacet (X and Y)
Pre Mix: Mixer Module from Curetronic
Polivoks: Papareil Synth Labs!
Comb Filter: Analogue Systems (I also used a DC-Mixer from CGS here)
Post Mix: Mixer Module from Curetronic
VCA 2: Curetronic
Attenuator: Just a 100K lin Pot
Slew Limiter: Curetronic "Tool" Module
Gate Delay: Curetronic "Tool" Module
Out Mix: At the moment just a Pot and two Resistors, will change into
a real Panner
Then, there are 3 Multiples and behind the right Jacks is a Midi-
Module from Papareil Synth Labs, a Dual Sample and Hold-Module
anddual Inverters from Curetronic and one DC-Mixer behind the
Jacks "DC-Mixer".

Everything works great so far. I will change the Polivoks Filters
IC's from LM4250 to UA776 when I get this IC. Between Modules I had
to give great attention to Levels, otherwise the "Bypass" Knobs
wouldn't be very useful. I have absolutely NO crosstalk! I used more
than 200 meters of wiring behind the Frontplate to connect everything
to the Jacks AND to the 15 big 12-Step-Modulation switches.

Is it ok to post your post on www.synforum.nl <http://www.synforum.nl> ?
There is a tread about your semi modular.

Yes, of course! I am going to dechiffre dutch...

Thanks. First time I ever heard of Curetronic. Their site is in German.

http://www.curetronic.de/curetronic/index-start.shtml

Do the Curetronic modules come as kits? Without panels? What made you
choose them over Oakley and Blacet or others?

Re: Module-list of the half-modular "Auralesque"

2005-08-31 by waveform100

One reason to choose Curetronic was simply because they are so cheap:
Before I ordered the other Curetronic (Kits!) I tested the ADSR and
found that module to be very good: Very fast in the fastest mode and
extremely slow also possible with a very nice exponential shape I was
looking for. The Blacet EG1 didn't has the right shape for me (I have
two). So I took the risk and ordered the rest. The only risk was the
Ladder-Filter and the two VCA's (CA3080-VCA's). I could have ordered
the Superladder from Oakley, but I already have that in my modular
(twice) and I wanted something diffrent. To be honest, I should have
gone for the Boogiefilter, but at this moment, I haven't heard it. I
will change that when I have the time in a few month.
The Curetronic Modules are pretty vanilla for the moment. I know the
guy who is making them in person and he is very nice. He helped me a
lot on the phone when I had a problem with soldering the Auralesque.
He just told me yesterday, that now he is also selling all over the
world, he just has to translate his site.
I wasn't aware of the CGS Utility LFO, if a were, this would have
been my choice. Somehow every time visiting Ken's site, I didn't
notice this module.

Matthias Schmidt (Curetronic) is selling his stuff also in MOTM-Size
since a few month. And you can order it as kits or as populated PCB's
and without faceplates. But his MOTM-Style Faceplates are nice, I
have seen one.
