Serge - Creature - M-Class - Patch 1a (Bubbles)

YouTube Published on Jun 12, 2012 by DJjondent

"The 'Creature' is about half the size of a traditional Serge panel.
I think it's kind of like STS's version of a "voice" .
All the traditional modules that we understand to make up a voice (like the VCO, LFO, VCA and EG) are here.... but they aren't obvious... not like in a East Coast Synth.

The Creature is a single 200mm x 180mm panel with four Serge function blocks (from left-right):
1.Cross-fader (voltage controller mixer/amp)
2.Variable Q Voltage-Controlled Filter (VCF - it can be BP,HP,LP & notch)
I'm using the band pass filter in this example.
3.Voltage-Controlled TimeGen Oscillator(Im using it here as a VCO... seems to have 2 outputs, 2 LFOs... gate jacks)
.... seems to be split into left & right halves
4.The Smooth/Stepped Generator

The controls are very very very sensitive.
And very densely packed... there so much in such a small space.
Slight changes to a voltage level or dial position will change the sound drastically.

All sounds from the Serge."

Steve Turnidge of the MMTA & Synthwerks on the Rise of Modular Synths

via Steve Turnidge on Facebook:

"Here is a response I wrote in the Mostly Modular Trade Association forum regarding why Modular Synthesizers may not be a niche market for long:

My vision is that Modular Synthesizers are the new Records. When we were kids, we distinguished ourselves from our peers by our record collections (at least my peer group did). The driving factor behind this is kids spending their parents money on materials designed to drive said parents batty.

The advent of Napster removed the record collection glamour - You have all Frank Zappa? Ok, now I do too...

I think the next stop on that story was videogames - until the decks and games became ubiquitous.

Now, I'm happy to believe, we are at the dawning of the age of moduars. It meets the requirements of a reasonable beginning investment, repeat but differentiated sales, and it drives parents crazy. Mix and match - when you go to a friends house with a new module, oh what noise you can make...

The MMTA is founded on the idea that this aggregated output from a community of hermits can find a marketplace in disaffected (and effected) youth - who grow up to be the equivalent of computer geeks.

An additional benefit is the subliminal educational affect modular has on impressionable minds. By making a patch, you are learning signal flow and what works (which is a broad variable) together. Harness SoundCloud and YouTube, and you have the bragging content distribution outlet. No need to monetize the content (even though we have something in the wings for that) when you are monetizing the hardware. Although 'software eats everything' - modulars have already been eaten, digested, and excreted quite a while ago. We are at the time for the pendulum to swing from aggregated software toward dis-aggregated hardware, and I'm excited to be here now...

Why You Should Consider Getting a Modular - "I'll try to keep this short: a modular doesn't have to be a full blown synth. It doesn't have to be a synth at all. It can be an extension to your existing setup; it can be a simple way to process your synths, guitar, drums, etc."

Grant Richter on Cutting Down Modular Costs - ""If the public could change their perception of how a synthesizer module must be constructed, we could have a renaisance unlike anything in the past."

Armon Gracia Remi Analog Combo Organ with Rythm Section

via Dennis Matana on Facebook

"Pretty rare 70's combo organ...totally analog including the drums...also has bass accompaniment, this only works with the drums on aqnd on the lower octave...."

And some additional info via the image description Google translated from Dutch: "There are 5 sounds, Flute, Oboe, Trombone, Accordion, Violin, which also can be combined and there is a vibrato on .... this is the switch that I'm in when I posted ..... got him he missed the Accordion switch, when I switch the vibrato on the site of the Accordion placed switch. He also misses vd drum section 5 press buttons but they are obviously still using ......

The drum unit is really the bomb .... lovely and also analogous to mod .... just sit on the board of 6 little trimmer that includes the decay of the BD, Tom and RS change .... also, the various presets combined for really funky rhythms .....
