Modular

Nice! What's in there?

The black modules are an old PAIA kit, and that got me started, in the 90's. Then I started building CGS and a few MusicFromOuterspace modules. A couple of blacet (miniwave!).

so, a quick rough list is 3 osc, 3 vca, 1 miniwave, wave multiplier, 5eg's, 6lfo's a moog filter, a synthacon filter, bi-n-tic filter, 2xpaia filters. 5 percussion modules (2 bass/kick drum, 1 cymbal, 2 chime). Neural Agonizer (spring reverb), some mixers, multi's, couple of 8 step sequencers, couple of dividers. Portamento (lag) modules, and ring-mod modules too.

Up on my list to build next are a few Jourgen Haible modules. Living VCO's, Filter Phaser, and chorus. Oh, and I just got 3 Buchla "lopass gate" pcb's which are filter/vca's.

I'm actually thinking about building the new stuff into a little integrated synth.. I'd have jack-ability built in, but it would also be set up as a ready to play synth.. And I'm hoping to take that idea and some midibox stuff, and maybe making an analog synth w/ patch recall.. but so far I can't quite figure that out.. (I'd need about 24 CVouts to have all their parameters stored together, for the ultimate software controlled analog synth)

best advice I can give to someone building one of these... Get a decent drill press :). Making panels and even drilling holes for DIY PCB's is super quick and easy. Then for the 'artwork' I think I used "lasertran" paper and then I sprayed them w/ lacquer to seal everything. Getting panels made 'professionally' for such a huge project doesn't really make sense.

This looks nice... :D

I love modulars. That setup looks awesome. Been eyeing some of the same modules you've got ever since I built my paia fatman.
