I believe a small bit of (gentle) correction is in order here. I have a number of completed MOTM modules, as well as a much larger pile of still unbuilt kits. Yes, Paul discontinued the kits. However,

Hi Karl ! Im a keyboardist/arranger, sometimes composer, only, as a pro since I finished studying graphics designs in the 70th and I worked as a musical director several times in the past. But I was

Hi PeWe, Some random Thoughts: I can't count how many times I considered duplicating the M12 with a modular and came to the conclusion it just wasn't worth it. Yes, but I bet they lose interest.

Hi PeWe, OK, I should have said entirely analog signal chain. BTW my schematics show the Chroma, as not using any CEM envelope generators but rather generating these functions in software. (being a

Hmmm,- the Matrix12 and the Xpander arent entirely analog polyphonic synths. Entirely analog polyphonic synths were the SEM based Obies, OBX and OBXa, the Prophets, the Jupiter-8, Memorymoog,

Hi All, Since we are on the subject, I would like to point out that it seems to be a curse for a company to build an entirely analog polyphonic synth. Oberheim was sold right after the M12/Xpander and

Hi ! Yep,- 20K pieces is right, Thats what Ive read too. The prob is: 20K pieces per type of chip. There are a lot of CEMs in the early synths,- OBXa, OB8, Memorymoog, Prophet 5 rev 2+3, Jupiter 8 and

IIRC, I read somewhere that some company wanted a minimum order of 20.000 chips to start making them again... There?s a lot of great analog synths out there getting older... Should we start a poll

AFAIK, Dave Smith is using CEM filters only and these are available. In addition he has NOS chips in stock from the past. It also can be, there are the chips he needs in production for his company, -

Hey PeWe, I think I know why Curtis chips have his rep. There is a reveiw of the M12/expander on a large retailers site. It trys hard to convince you that buying an old synth is a bad Idea, and what

>>> Jeremy Smith schrieb: I dont know what makes you believe Curtis chips are "crummy". These are nothing else than miniaturized analog circuits and without these you would have never seen any

Hey There Jeremy, First off, I agree that Tom's accumulated experience with synth design created an incredibly sounding synth. I have spent a great deal of time trying to figure this out myself.

.. and original is original, no matter if it sounds "better or worse", which is somewhat subjective ofcourse.

I think the answer hides in physics in that sense that the chips are not only designed for music, but they happen to produce harmonics and noise that comes naturally, i.e., non- intended from the

Hi, I was wondering why the Xpander, made from 'crummy' Curtis chips, can out-sound any of the VST soft synths I've heard. The conclusion I came to is this: The right pair of ears, but not just that -
