Each unit has a custom 1/4" patch panel on the right side that brings out the patch points of the SEM signal flow. This allows you to use the synthesizer in a more modular fashion. The patch panel also contains 8vb and 16vb suboscillator circuitry for each oscillator, each with a volume pot for the suboscillator level. There is also a mixer on each panel as well as a 3-jack mult for modular patching. See photos of the panel for full detail. The customs panels are ENGRAVED (not silkscreened) with each function's name in silver. The custom panels use Cosmo knobs for the pots, the same knobs as found on the iconic Moog synthesizers. These modules will interface nicely with a Moog modular system or even the newer Moog Music products that have patch points available. Of course they will also work with any analog modular synthesizer -- new or old -- provided you can get the patch cables to 1/4". There is no MIDI on any of the modules, but of course you can use any suitable MIDI to CV converter if you want to use the modules that way."
This is over priced. A SEM is about $800-1000 average and the patch points and sub osc certainly isn't worth $1250-1400. I paid $1800 for two SEMS and could prob patch them out fairly cheap if I wanted to.
ReplyDeleteCorrection. The Patch points and Sub come out to $2250-2400. That's crazy!
ReplyDeleteLOL. I think I recognize these. I remember the set of 4 going for around $11,000. I thought THAT was insane.
ReplyDeleteBut, they are beautiful things. I'm eventually going to finish patching out the 4 I've got, and you know If I wanted to sell one or two I'd ask a pretty penny for my time and effort.
But then again I could never imagine parting with an SEM even with 3 to spare...
one sold...headed back to the West Coast USA
