Can we talk about modular synths?

Congrats!!

[Psyre]

Anyone have any ideas as to what this can may be? The closest to a name I could get out of the pic is "Magmavox"
That looks like it may be a joystick interface at the bottom and the large orange module has a joystick out. The rest of what I can read is just common terms, LFO shape, ETC.

Dude doesn't know what he has and has it for sale for $1,200

lol. NO idea. but...... probaly.... worth it? from someone that doesn't know what they're selling?

all the drums are BIA or Manis through Sisters, melodies are Just Friends then Rings through a few things, then Mangrove FM'ing the Sisters later -

Yeah, he says he bought it 30yrs ago at a garage sale from a lady who said he son was a musician....

Can we get a higher-res photo?

Edit: Asked around and it looks like the bottom rows are PAiA modules, which were sold as kits, so likely was a DIY job. Top bit might be something custom as well? Not sure they're super valuable though.

[D.o.S.]

Daily reminder Worra is only in it for those flips.

I've been thinking lately about how to go about re-creating the arp/voice switching that's in a Korg Monopoly.

This is of course to prevent myself from buying a vintage Monopoly.

Halp.

Seems like the intellijel shifty would help you out in said context

Here's the ad, it's all i've got. I assumed a series of kit builds.

I grew up in that neighborhood.

oof. after continually being blown away with how many sounds are in the BIA..... finally broke down and ordered a Loquelic Iteritas Percido. thing looks too damn amazing.

Did a recording today of the modular-only part of my set from last night if anyone's keen:

I was on a short but nice holidays trip in Hokkaido (private onsen, fuck yeah) so I haven't had much time to spend with the Teletype yet but damn, that module makes so many other things obsolete for me. The fluidity of the process of just typing a few simple commands and getting a ton of different possible results is wonderful for me. And I haven't even plugged the expanders yet.

The fact that all the code for a scene can be written on one (paper) page is also awesome. I'm reading all the doc and writing scenes on paper that I can test at home later...

If I don't fuck things up my first "proper" scene should be a multiple CV generator that I intend to use with my BIA first but would work with anything else and that should allow me to generate parameters sets (i.e. 4 sets of values for 4 parameters), apply variations to each set and send the desired voltages when desired. For the BIA that would mean have 4 CV outs plugged in the BIA's CV ins, 4 trigger ins that would each choose the relevant parameters set and send these CVs and 4 other trigger inputs use to randomize the relevant parameters set, with the randomization amount controlled by the knob (i.e. no change at 0, full random at 1).

So basically I could generate/refine 4 different sounds from the BIA and then trigger them when I want either internally or through the trigger inputs.
Should be fun and a good way to familiarize myself with the syntax/features set.

Nice ZONES.
