if you are going through the trouble of getting these printed then why not do something a little more interesting. i get a late 60's hospital vibe myself. but i am liking the over all idea. price is going to be everything with these.
ReplyDeleteThis is all questionable, the modular market is fickle.
ReplyDeleteThe Eurorack market seems to be progressing rather well, frac format is lagging butt and MOTM format is well...... MOTM format.
This I really don't know, I'm not getting a warm and fuzzy. Could be a hoax.
A low-budget Photoshopped Modular?
ReplyDeleteFinally a system I can afford! :)
why is there nothing whatsoever anywhere on the internet about this stuff????
ReplyDeletebut there's nothing like this out there, now. the Evenfall Mini Modular would've made a killing in this current modular = HAWT market. I think this is the right thing to do. no one should have to build a Paia 9700 if they want a $500 modular synth.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing on the internet because this is the first ever it's been announced. It's a planned exclusive information release. Any resources have been bot-blocked until Saturday.
ReplyDeleteLet it play out, have fun with the info and don't stress out. The best is coming. None of you have a clue yet of the entire concept. You'll be surprised, some will be pissed, some will hate it. Others will love it. That's normal. It's a huge world and everybody has pre-conceived concepts of what should be. I designed this a certain way for a reason for the people that can use it. So, bitch about it if you have the facts. None of you do. I've always tried to have fun with everything I do and I expect others to have fun too. Life's too short to be streseed out and dissenting. If I have a skill that can bring a little joy to others, I'm willing to go the extra mile to use it.
I will say- It's U.S. based.
George Mattson
I we can build polyhedron frames to mount these on! ;D
ReplyDelete"some will be pissed" ??
ReplyDeleteSomebody's ALWAYS pissed.
ReplyDeletehe probably means pissed because people will say it should have this or that, or not this etc.
ReplyDeleteHeath
knobs...how about something with a knob???

(This IS on the internet. Dont tell anyone!)
"knobs...how about something with a knob???"
ReplyDeletesomebody is impatient .. here's a playboy, go pull down your pants in the corner and get back to us when you find your sub-paia knob. 8-)
It is? well, sonoffab-- LOL Oh, well. nothing official since I am the only real info source.
ReplyDeleteI will say this- the knob guy...I am really, really sorry. There aren't any. Well, one, but it's whatever I can find to stick on there. You'll see it Friday. Well, the one I had. I actually stole it from a parts Syntar. It worked, I got the part.
You'll understand. The first module with a variable control will be up today.
George Mattson- back to work.
well one thing's for sure, there's no room for faders.
ReplyDeleteso if there aren't any knobs nor faders... THEN WHAT?!?
oh! I know! It will have drawbars! That is absolutely brilliant! I love pulling on drawbars!
ReplyDeleteWhat can this 4X-1X2 module be used for and why did noise have to be made its own module? What type of component is used to generate the noise?
ReplyDeleteSub-paia knob! Now THAT was funny!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work.
I just hope thats its in a compatable format (looks like it might fit euro or frac).
ReplyDeleteI have to say, trying to make a modular with its own exclusive format is a little bit crazy these days.
Is this another $20 module? Can we see behind it?
ReplyDeleteI think ALOT of people are going to be pissed about this one.
ReplyDeleteNon standard format or item specific use will be it's downfall.
looks like it might glow in the dark
ReplyDeleteI'm willing to give it a chance. Who knows until they hear or try it?
ReplyDeleteThank you Mr. Mattson. Ignore the chatter on the internet completely, it has zero value.
meh...
ReplyDeleteHell its its cheap and sounds decent it will be cool enough for most beginners and some others.
Somebody asked why noise is its own module... well its cheaper than throwing it in with other modules.
This system looks like a budget modular system...at least cash wise. Who knows about sound quality at this point.
It's a computer controlled modular I reckon - some kind of VST/USB interface thingie for all the controls. If it's not, someone should make one.
ReplyDeletehmmm, theres a chance this thing might fit fac or euro...
ReplyDeleteIn my dreams....
ReplyDelete"It's a computer controlled modular I reckon - some kind of VST/USB interface thingie for all the controls. If it's not, someone should make one."
I'll stick with the guys at Doepfer-Plan B- Livewire
ReplyDeleteetc....etc....
God forbid we bring anything new to the table.
ReplyDelete"I'll stick with the guys at Doepfer-Plan B- Livewire
ReplyDeleteetc....etc...."
I bet the first time you poo'ed in your diaper you picked it up and showed it to mommy too.
Why spank you, spank you very much!
ReplyDeleteMatrix needs a 'best of' section like Craigslist.
ReplyDeleteThis would be a contender for lamest post ever...
"I'll stick with the guys at Doepfer-Plan B- Livewire
etc....etc...."
First, I'm real busy trying to get ready for Saturday but.
ReplyDelete1: Don't call me Mr. My name is George. I respect the title but, it isn't necessary. I may be old, cantankerous and a curmudgeon. but "Mr" sounds too formal. I've been one of you guys longer than most of you have been one of you guys. We all love synths and what we can do with them.
2: What's the buffer good for? A lot. One of my design synth-geek quirks; I don't like mutiples-period, never did, never will build one. I've been patching analog for 37 years. They degrade the signal when used as a splitter and they sum the signals when used as a mixer-possibly overloading the input of the next stage.
If you don't care about your CV or audio signal quality- that's your philosophy. Go ahead and wire a bunch of jacks together.
The buffer is a 4 channel buffered splitter. 2 outputs of the input signal that's buffered, rejuvenated, and EXACTLY the same as the channel signal. The output signal of each channel is normalled to the next channel down.
Put a signal into the channel 1 input you get eight little signal clones available to stick wherever you want them- Audio or CV. It doesn't care. No signal degradation.
If you put a signal into-say, channel 3. The signal is available on the channel 3 and channel 4 outputs while the channel 1 signal is still available on the channel 1 and channel 2 outputs. Kind of a user-patchable variable-number-of-outputs splitter. The number of outputs is entirely dependent on how you plug them in.
Most people, especially the new guys, get hooked on the "how many oscillators does it have" type of mentality without thinking about how they're going to control those oscillators. If you can't control it, you can't use it and you just spent money on a standby.
This module helps with that.
OK, I'm done being curmudgeony. :)
George Mattson
That's more like it.
ReplyDeleteDo tell....
only one knob?
ReplyDeletehuh.
drawbars sound cool.
how about patch recall via motorized drawbars.
that would beat a knob any day
Check the Plan B, Livewire synth back on the Matrix site....now we're talking.
ReplyDeletei think they mean there's only one knob on the next modul
ReplyDeleteNope, there's one knob on the entire system :)
ReplyDeleteGeorge Mattson
How about pots? More than one?
ReplyDeletemeh
ReplyDeletehow many oscillators does it have? are they dcos? how about a tabletop version? do you have a vst version?
meh
why can't you make it look german and post-modern futuristic looking?
meh
how many oscillators you got?
i hope this thing has a digitally controlled filter. that would r4wkz0rz with a g4m3b0y interface .. aw yah ch3f-b0i-r-d33!!
k-rad!
meh....
LOL. OK, you caught me. Yes, lots of pots. Funny.
ReplyDeleteGeorge Mattson
Lots of pots but only one knob. That's OK, I usually only turn one knob at a time. I guess I can pull it off of the pot and put it on the next one I want to adjust.
ReplyDeleteHeck, if you're using MOTM/Alco knobs, that could save you $2000 on a modular right off the top.
"If you don't care about your CV or audio signal quality- that's your philosophy. Go ahead and wire a bunch of jacks together."
ReplyDeleteThat's a quite sweeping statement. All you guys stacking banana cables on your Serges...yer wrong, too. Apparently. Unless, of course, you've got cables with built in buffers.
re: banana cables degrading everything
ReplyDeleteOne man's degrading is another man's enhancing.
>>None of you have a clue yet of the entire concept. You'll be surprised, some will be pissed, some will hate it. Others will love it.<<
ReplyDeleteI've got it, it's a strap-on modular synth! Keytar meets patch cords. The crowd goes wild.
