Well I have gievn up the prospects of buying a Minimoog Voyager, in favor of a Modular synthesizer from Synthesizers.com. After much diliberation and talking with several other people here an on the synthesizers.com group. That I am going to invest in a modular synth. This is what I have been after all along and is the only synth for me. Anything else just pales in comparison.

So I am now comming to the end of my quest for the right synthesizer. And now is the time to set that goal and achieve it. Since I have always been fascinated by these large systems I figured why not buy one myself. After all I am getting tired of spending money on synths that just sit around and not get used.

Oh in case anyone is interested stop by Synthesizers.com and check them out.

These are some awsome synths.

Good choice. Those full size modulars look so incredible. I'm in the process of getting something new myself. It has come down to the Clavia G2 Modular, the Elektron Monomachine or Machinedrum. I've only heard the Machinedrum out of those 3 so far. I'm desperate for glitchy beats, so the Machinedrum has an edge at the moment. My K2000R does an impressive job of mangling beats but there's so much more out there.

Best of luck on your endveor tek.

Hey Paul!
- Ed here.
What's happening? (in general and witn the modular synth).
I decided to go for both Voyager and a custom modular synth. All I have to do is stop buying guitars.
By the way, what do you call yourself on Synthesizers.com? Is it anologcontrol..something?
Later!

Hi Ed,

Well I am going to buy the QSS22 studio model. Which comes in avery nice walnut case with twenty-two modules. Plus I am buying the keyboard controler to go with it. Total price plus shipping will be $2,699.00.

But first I have to get some money together in order to pay for it. Granted I will use a credit card, but I have to have money in my bank account to pay off the credit card. So it will be a while. Also I have to sell off my current gear to help pay for part of this system.

Well best of luck with your endevor on buying your modular and voyager. BTW you will be able to connect your voayger with your modular synth.


My nicname on Synthesizers.com is analogcontrolfreak.

Ed, you asked about Modular patching info in the FM topic. Here When you get past the splash page, click on Modular systems in the navigation bar and then 'Patch techniques and Voltage Control'.

Paul, you might wanna read this. This is what you're getting into

Hey Tek,

Thanks for the link too the site. I forgotten I had been there before. Anyway I went adn printed of some of the info on Modular synthesis. Also some on the Basics of Voltage control, and a basic synth patch.

I also went to synthesizers.com and found links to some other sites, and prints off some more inforamtion on this subject.

Paul,
"Analog control freak"....
- I thought it's you, but wasn't sure.
I'm actually thiking of getting a system with a larger cabinet, so I'll be able to expand the system later. That's what "morbious" from synthesizers.com suggested. My only problem so far is finding enough space for Voyager and the modular synth. I'll have to throw out a lot of old furniture and stuff.

Tek!
Thanks!
ED

Hi Ed,

So you are going to go with a .com synth then huh? I was right wasn't I about how good these synths are?

The QSS44 has a larger cabinet but it costs $4,000.00. I just want you too know that. But go with what morbius said. He told me the same thing, but it's easier for me too come up with $2,699.00 then $4,000.00. What you could do is buy the QSS44 and then buy a QSS22 and place it on top of the 44 then you would have a modular synth similar to the old Moog Modulars.


Have you considered redesigning your studio? Too help you in accomadateing your Modular synth and minimoog.

You could place it in your dining or living room he he. J/K

I have a large deask to accomodate the QSS22.

Yap! Synthesizers.com are good.

Re-designing my studio though, is almost impossible.
I've got a few computers, over 20 hardware synths, 14 guitars, a bunch of AMPs and list goes on. But if I throw out a lot of junk from my living room, I'll have just enough space for a QSS44. What I really want to do is get something like a QSS22, but with larger cabinet, so I can later add like 10 modules. QSS44 is a bit BIG for me.
