so heavy. my 73 stage bears silent witness to my teenage weakness.
i was well past teenage but agreed. i moved mine from my garage to my house by myself. it was awful. waited on a friend to help me move it upstairs. haven't moved it since and kinda cringe at the thought...

i was like maybe 18 when i got it, like ten years ago or so, and i had no where to put it so i carried up three flights of stairs to my girlfriend attic, alone. she came home, freaked out, and back down it went, again, alone.

mine's with the dual svf. iss awesome. my only gripe is that it quantizes (well, maybe that term isn't technically correct here, but...) values you change with the knobs. example: when you've got the filter res set pretty high and you slowly sweep the cutoff. the sweep most of the time appears to sound continuous, but in some cases it is audibly quantized (maybe it just rounds to integers in Hz?). this is not a problem when the lfo or envelope are routed to cutoff however. was able to score it essentially new for $230. got lucky for such a nice little instrument.
I meant to go completely modular but I couldn't pass it up, I got a decent deal on it. When looking at it I determines that it was basically 12-14 modules plus duo phonic ribbon controller, plus some real unique features (analog additive synthesis on ones oscillator). I will just build the rest of my modular around it. I think the next things I am going to get are a Maths and I might have a trade going for a QMMG.

that's zippering, a product of digital encoders and certain types of programming. your right that it's more noticeable about during changes in pitch than amplitude or timbre. the buchla 200e has this same issues with it's EGs/FGs like 281e. it can even become an issue with certain analog circuits that use digital switching type power supplies.

yes you fucking did! that have a pules or gate out from the ribbon? it looks like it's the same design as the craig anderton model. REALLY, interested to hear clean tests of those oscillators.
