so jyoti, did you assemble that yourself?

im just wondering if its worth me paying for them to assemble my hypothetical modular, or if its easy enough to do it myself...

Well, kind of... details here. Cool

We used to.
They were hopeless.
That's why we don't now.

Don't forget, electo-music, Muffs forum, and the dopefer yahoo group are excellent resources with a great many people who are more than happy to part with information and answer questions.

Cheers,

Well it encouraged me enough to get my Curetronic/MFOS setup. Smile

Can't say I'm sorry about it.

That's great to hear! I have to say, Analogue Systems were extremely helpful to me in my initial enquiries - and that's when they didn't know I was writing the article. Bodes well for how they treat the average punter. thumb up

Congrats on your new system! Pics? Musical / sound snippets? Very Happy

yeah that's nice. Cool

jyoti, i just came across your SOS article again last night when i was going through a pile of old magazines. (this always turns into a lengthy browsing session. Laughing

)

anyway it's prompted me to (almost literally) blow the dust off my ASys modular, buy it a couple of new modules for Xmas and get it fired up again. sadly i've been neglecting it of late in favour of other new toys, including software ones, but i reckon it's time to get up to my ears in wire spaghetti again.

so your writing continues to inspire. Wink

Oh wow! I love it! I was tinkering with my far more modest system the other day and again lost a couple of hours. Not good since I'm meant to be doing essays for Uni. But, damn, they're just so twiddly! Cool

Hogberto, what would you say is a must-have module for me?

hogberto · Joined: Mar 20, 2006 Posts: 53 Location: scotland

get a step sequencer if you don't already have one.

the ASys RS200 is a lot of fun. i got 2. Cool

and a quantiser (e.g. ASys RS260) to keep the step sequencer in tune and to transpose the sequences.

and so on and so on…

i have to say though that i'm lusting after some cwejman modules these days. i had an S1 Mk2 but sold it last year. beautiful synth. so maybe 2010 will be Cwejman Year down my way.

Thank you very much for the advice! thumb up

Hmmm... you have got me very intrigued. I'd love to do some polyrhythmic stuff and I know that's a piece of piss with step sequencers. Plus, I'd love to hook all that up to my 808 and 202. No MIDI! Cool

Time to go earn some money...

that's an impressive AS system there -makes my 9U one seem a bit on the small side. Cant help but notice your A6 though. So there's at least one in Scotland!

heh heh. yes, the Andy started life in Ayrshire but i bought it a couple of years back, so now it's enjoying life on the east coast. i'm sure there must be a few other of them sprinkled around Scotland though. Cool

as for the ASys system, it started as a little 3U minisystem. it's amazing how quickly these things grow with a little TLC. and a crapload of cash. Wink
