Orgon Systems Modular (extremely rare with 3 Enigiser filters)

"'extremely rare' as just 6 Orgon Systems modular systems were ever built by Geoff Waterstone.

I think this is the most interesting version as you get 3 (!) awesome sounding and very powerful (lots of filter modes) Enigiser filters that are famous from the Orgon Systems "Enigiser" monophonic synthesizer. That alone is sold now for more than 5000 Euros (I sold mine for 3000 ...).

The modular system has the following modules installed: - 3* "Oscillator VCO 01" - 3* "Enigiser Filter" - 4* "Dual LFO 01" - 4* "ADSR 01" - 4* "Log/Lin VCA 01"

So you get 18 Modules comprising of 3 Osc, 3 multimode filters, 8 lfos (4* Dual LFO), 4 envelope generators and 4 vcas. That is quite a lot to play with.

With patching you will get 3 "stripped down" Enigiser synthesizers (or may I say "enhanced" as you can freely patch between all the modules).

Here is a detailed description of all the modules from a former sale:

VCO

Rock stable design.
No temperature drift.
Excellent scaleaccuracy-upto 10 octaves.

Unique, rich and powerful sound quality.

Able to hold a true zero beat for hours.

Coarse and fine tune controls.

Sawtooth, sine, triangle and PWM waveform outputs.

Exceptionally accurate 1 volt per octave tracking. (0v to 10v).

Exponential modulation input.

Linear FM input

Pulsewidth modulation input (0% to 100% duty cycle).

PWM Shape control (0% to 100% duty cycle).

Oscillator sync (Absolutely awsome sounding!)


Enigiser Filter

Variable multipole filter design unique to Orgon Systems.

Taken directly from the Orgon Systems Enigiser Synthesizer.

Voltage Controlled Resonance

2 X signal inputs

2 X control voltage inputs (filter frequency)
1 X resonance control voltage input.
25 (!) switchable filter responses
6 dB oct lowpass

12 dB oct lowpass

18 dB oct lowpass

24 dB oct lowpass

Phase shifter 1
6 dB oct highpass

6 dB oct bandpass

12 dB oct bandpass

18 dB oct bandpass

Phase shifter and bandpass
6dB
notch
6 dB
lowpass scattered poles
12 dB
lowpass scattered pole
18 dB
lowpass scattered pole

Narrow phase shift

VCA with Log & Lin Response

High spec VCA with logarithmic & linear switchable responses.

2 signal inputs with gain controls.

2 control voltage inputs with gain controls.

Initial gain control.

Will work with audio and control voltages (AC or DC).


ADSR Envelope Generator

Ultra fast response <1ms

Full ADSR response

Gait input & gait through sockets

Manual trigger button

Attack state gate output with led (useful for gate delays or multi-stage envelopes)

Decay state gate output with led (useful for gate delays multi-stage envelopes)


Release state gate output (useful for gate delays multi-stage envelopes)



Dual LFO

0.001 Hz to 300 Hz

2 rate controls

2 rate led's

2 shape controls (pulsewidth & ramp up triangle ramp down)

2 square / pulse outputs

2 triangle / ramp outputs


All modules (including the power supply) are put into a nice wooden case (made by a professional). The wood intentionally isn´t treated so far as taste is widely different, so you can paint it according to your wishes.

I tried several different knobs (as seen on the pics) how they look like and whether they may fit though I never decided on a final solution for all knobs."
