ASM2-Wizard

"The ASM2-Wizard has been designed as a full modular-styled synthesiser. It incorporates all of the available features of the ASM-2 and provides 1/4" jacks for every available input and output

In addition, the ASM2-Wizard provides a number of pre-patched connections that allow the system to generate many of the common sounds used in analogue synths. All of these patches can be disabled by inserting jackplugs in to the relevant patch sockets..

A PolyDAC(X) has been included in the panel design to provide MIDI support.

The panel layout generally follows the layouts that would be used on individual modules but at the same time attempts to minimise space. At 912mm wide by 587mm high it is still a respectable size.

To help better understand the connection options, the following drawings provide details of each modules input/output connections and the pre-patched and switching options where applicable"
