Bug wavefolder and weevil!

i'd see if i could pick up any of the bugbrand modules in minijack format. or even banana format and diy a convertor panel.

the ptdelay and bugcrusher are imo signature bugbrand modules. the dual lpg is very nice too.

getting hold of them might be easier said than done though. minijack ones were done in (very) limited quantities and the banana ones come up for sale fairly rarely.

I'd miss the following:

Some LPGs;at least one Mixer/Proc.; some AD/AR envelopes; MiniWave and/or MOTM Morphing Terrarium (you can get the latter as DIY-kit and make your own Frac panel as I did)...

To fill the 3 spaces Mixer/Proc. and a D/A/D.

miniwave is a good suggestion

tIB · Post by **tIB** » Tue Apr 24, 2012 1:18 pm

^ miniwave is a great module, Ive only just realised how amazing it is as a distortion. Flexible too- quantizer, wavetable osc, distortion...

Id miss a wavefolder from that setup- the stg one is nice too.

tIB · Post by **tIB** » Tue Apr 24, 2012 1:40 pm

Encore freq shifter is nice too...

ive got a/r on both paia vco and paia vcf
maybe a mixer/proc..i had given thought to the wave folder or miniwave..more so the wave folder

vmgas · Post by **vmgas** » Tue Apr 24, 2012 1:43 pm

i also had some thought on the metalbox divider

I'll second the Bugbrand Wavefolder, although it looks unavailable at the moment.

How about the Window Comparator - have a read of this thread to see if it floats your boat:

viewtopic.php?t=1400&highlight=window

Maybe a quantizer to go with the Binary Zone? I did a diy MFOS one...

the mixer/pro is a must-have IMO. Bias/Offset is a fundamental function in modular patch programming. A Bananalogue/Serge 3P is only 1 space, if you can find one...

The STG Wave Folder is awsome, but given the choice I'd go for a Miniwave. It's a modular Swiss-army knife, and would give you a lot of new sonic options.

a friend of mine is selling a burst gen which im tempted by for the price but the mix/proc or miniwave might be more useful..choices choices.
any experiences with the single space paia cv source/mixer?

rezzn8r · Post by **rezzn8r** » Tue Apr 24, 2012 7:55 pm

the paia cv source/mixer looks pretty good for the price. patch one of the voltage sources in the top section into one of the mixer channels on the bottom, and then patch your Binary Zone into the other channel of the mixer.
Substitute the Binary Zone with your S/H & Noise for even more fun.
Add a Miniwave with a Quantizer ROM and it's a party!

vmgas · Post by **vmgas** » Tue Apr 24, 2012 8:57 pm

i think im going to go with the paia cv source/mixer without a doubt
now its between miniwave or burst gen

Mini Wave!!! So versatile and chock full of utility. Go w/extra eprom too.

e-tron · Post by **e-tron** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 12:06 am

The Miniwave is a good one for sure.

For something a little different, I suggest you
check out the Flight of Harmony Sound of Shadows.
It runs on +-15 and fits in the rack(drill those rails).
It's not frac but you know...

It adds so much deepness to any patch.

+1 for the miniwave. Really versatile and super fun.

vmgas · Post by **vmgas** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 2:54 am

i think the miniwave is the winner
how is it building wise or should i just keep an eye peeled for a used one

wetwetsuit · Post by **wetwetsuit** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:30 am

I think there are currently 2 in the B/S/T thread, but I'm sure you've checked there already.

e-grad · Post by **e-grad** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:34 am

Yep, think so, too. One Euro, one Frac. IIRC I've seen pics of the Mix/Proc behind a one space Frac panel. That would eat up the 3 spaces of Frac.

I repaneled my Mini-Wave, Mixer/Processor, and Window Comparator.
Now the 3 of them take up one Frac space each instead of two.

Not super complicated. Hardest part is getting LED's to line up with the faceplate. But if you've built Blacet kits before you know instructions are detailed, and if followed closely make it a breeze.

There's a pic of Cat-A-Tonic's Mix/Proc in the Blacet Modifications thread.

not sure about the other two.

Ditto (on the the MW pics.).
