New Shop Series Panel- The ANIMATE!
Posted by hexenduction in Info: Shop Panels, The Daily Serge on November 19th, 2011
Destroy all monsters
So you want a little taste of Animal in your Soup? Here’s the panel for you, perfect as a stand-alone panel or as an addition to an Animal/Blue Voice/Red Voice/M-Class set-up. Destroy all monsters with the WAD and Variable Bandwidth Filter. Invite external screams, chortles and skree to the party with the new Preamp Detector. Experience the precision power of the newly designed Hi-Low switching New Timbral Oscillator. Put a braided leash, fuzzy handcuffs and bondage mask on your voltages with a DUSG. Sculpt, shimmy and scalp waveforms with the Triple Waveshaper. Even the mixer has a new trick up it’s sleeve with both audio and CV duties. This panel takes things to a new domain and it will make a blushing bride of your other panels. Enjoy the view and don’t forget to send home some risqué polariods from the trip.
Details:
According to Rex, the ANIMATE has been specifically designed to be the mate for those who have (or are considering) an “ANIMAL” or “ANIMOO” (w/ ring mod), and as a single panel ’stand-alone’ Signal Processor panel for those who have wished for the power/density of a SOUP Kitchen and CV 2 in one panel, similar in concept to the ANIMAL in relation to the BLUE or RED Voice + CV1 or 2 as the two panel solutions found in the original line.
Interesting mods:
1. There is an on-board Comparator with a variable ‘Threshold’ control, now included in the Preamp with the input available to any audio signal OR CV control signal for creating gates, triggers or square wave signals from any source in the system.
2. The ‘NTO’ has a “HI -LO” frequency range switch allowing a powerful set of vari-waveform outputs, featuring voltage control of both exponential and linear frequency modulation, operating as a stable complex LFO or as the typical NTO.
What’s cool is that now in just 2 shop panels you can have synthesis with complex triple oscillator voicing (2x NTO/1xPCO) AND signal processing in both frequency domain (Wave Mult/Triple Wave Shaper) and time domain (Wilson Analog Delay). Not to mention the importance of a preamp to import external signals into the system. Very nice.
Popcorn! Parts 1 & 2!

Plugz and Socketz?

A cool track from a demo/sales Serge Modular Musicians Cassette, just in time to get you psyched for the imminent release of the Probe: 2 Compilation. The song almost sounds like Trans-Am covering a John Carpenter score but with a little extra chutzpah. According to the gentleman that posted this, “The only other time I’ve heard this song is when I saw the x-video “New Wave Hookers” and it was playing in the backround. They were listed in the credits as the Plugz and Socketz”. The video features some pictures of various Quadslope members systems too. Uploaded by ChristopherHillman.
Info on the ‘83 Serge Musicians Tape Cassette can be found here. If anyone has a copy of the cassette and can verify if the track is indeed on the tape but credited to another musician, please leave your findings in the comments.
Serge Animal, please meet the RE-301 Tape Echo…

cebec: New and Old Releases Now on Bandcamp
Posted by cebec in Tracks & Examples on June 10th, 2011
The new release is a 3-track album of minimal drones in a La Monte Young vein. ‘Draw a straight line and follow it’, he said.
Also, I’ve just made my 2009 Hidden release, ‘trunks’, available, with permission from the label owner, who’s transitioning to net-only releases under a new moniker — Spatial Foundation. Each track is a live improvisation with my Serge Modular.
Thanks for listening!
