I posted about The Alison Project back on July 18 of 2006 and again on March 27 of 2007. Magnus wrote in to let me know the modular has grown to a gargantuan size as you can see in this image. Check out the gallery for more.Update via The Alison Project in the comments: "The modular is mostly DIY, there are 8 Modcan modules now (order just arrived) and 1 Encore Freq Shift that I did not build. Rest are from various Manufacturer's and designers: MOTM (16 bought as kits), Blacet (kits), CGS, oakley, MFOS, J. Hiable, S. Stites, T. Henry, G. Richter, Tellun, Dave Brown, Paparelli and Yusynth."
Made in Canada.
ReplyDeleteeh?
I see two modcan.
ReplyDeleteI daqre you all to look through the MOTM catalog and match the patterns of knobs and jacks. For bonus points, you can reproduce the layout in the "modular planner" software.
ReplyDeleteI could, but I won't. :)
I actually looked for a couple on the MOTM site and couldn't find them. I only looked pretty briefly though.
ReplyDeleteThere's a ton of non-synthtech stuff in there. DIY? Probably. Quite a bit of it's stuff I've never seen before, and I've been pretty heavily into motm diy for some years, so who knows what this stuff is? Maybe someone should contact the guy.
ReplyDeleteGood idea. I'm curious, anyway. There's a lot of the trademark MOTM grid-of-large-knobs, but a lot of the modules don't look right for MOTM; the knobs are smaller. Anyway, my suggestion wasn't serious; doing that would be over the top even for a synth geek.
ReplyDeleteOakley? Cyndustries?

ReplyDeleteI am currently rebuilding the modular while making modifications and changing around a few things, as that gets into place I will be adding a list of modules with more pictures on the webpage.
Great! Looking forward to more information and more pictures!
ReplyDeleteThat the modular is mostly DIY is utterly amazing, especially given the size AND build quality. The only DIY modular I remember that would compare is Dr. Joe Paradiso's monster (I'm sure there are some others).
ReplyDeleteIt might break the record for the number of tags on Matrixsynth as well.
Wow!! Grovel, grovel.
