This Second Sleep - Another Elemental Collapse

A second taste of chaos using my Serge Dual Oscillator/Wave Processor with my Serge Creature/Seq A/TKB combo. This time a loop was produced using the above devices, so this is essentially 'looped & live'."

MFOS Ultimate & Expandatron

via loydb on this electro-music.com thread where you'll find more pics and info on the build process.
"The path of twisted logic that led me to this destination went roughly as follows:

Initially, I wanted to build an Ultimate to get something going more quickly than a full 5U cabinet of modules would take. Then I decided that I should build the Expander into the same cabinet, rather than building a separate one for it.

Then I decided that it would be cool to have the MFOS 16-step sequencer included as well rather than another separate box.

So I started arranging panels. If I put them side by side, it was wider than I liked. So I jammed the panels for the Ultimate and Expander together to make a 21" megapanel.

Putting the 16-step panel above them by itself looked funny -- so I suddenly had another huge chunk of panel space to fill. I thought about a second sequencer, but instead went on a PCB buying binge. I plan on doing a custom front panel the same size as the Ultimate + Expander panels that will contain all the other modules. This will be 24U (12U on each level).

The final cast is as follows:
MFOS Wall Wart Power Supply
MFOS Ultimate + Expander
MFOS 16-step sequencer
MFOS 8-stage Phaser
MFOS Stereo Panner
MFOS Voltage Quantifier
Buchla 292c clone filter"

"Make Noise: René, finally!

The Make Noise René is finished but there was a delay due to the custom-made knobs (they light up as shown in this photo). The knobs are now in production and should be ready very soon. The module is on schedule to ship to us during November. We'll update our website once we have stock.
