AHNE 2006 Maplin

Shot of the Maplin via AHNE 2006. Description below by Eric (alt-mode).

"It's a 4 oscillator monosynth with a pin matrix for patching (the pins are not compatible with EMS synths). It has some unusual routings in that there are no oscillator outputs on the matrix. All of the oscillators go into 3 different mixers that then can be routed to other modules.

It has two filters and a phaser as well as some LFOs, I think. It sounded pretty good in my limited use. It did have some very odd EGs with multiple segments and different terminology. I didn't have time to wrap my brain around the EGs.

The real issue with Maplins is that they were sold as kits so the quality is based on the skills of the builder. David was telling me that this particular unit was assembled by someone who was very very good. He said there are wires that go across the chassis, as part of the design. Each wire is tagged on each end so there is no need to trace the wires. All of the soldering is exceptional and given that it is working today after 20+ years is testament to good construction skills.

Update: The following are notes via Steve on AH. I thought the Buchla 200e comment was kind of funny.

" Highlights for me..
-Getting a sound out of the 200e
-Using the spectacular JKJ CV3 MIDI/CV to finally let my P3 and modular play together. : )
-Seeing some amazing DIY work. circuits, panels, cabinets.. bravo guys!
-20 solid minutes of EMS AKS patching/tweaking. Now I serioulsly want one of these!
---Wish I could have patched the Serge a bit!! aargh, maybe next year."
