Victor,

  I have a large modular (virtual), Moog Model V. It's a software
package called Moog Modular V, by Arturia in Italy. Cool stuff.
I'm using it and Reason 3 & 4, by Propellorhead, Sweden, on a synth
CD I'm doing. Planning to have some Csound sounds on it here and there.

  So, I have a large modular, but it's on my laptop. Which is more 
portable than the modular monstrosity my music partner and I built
back in the early 1980's. 

  We each took a couple of mods, I did the filters (VCF's), he did the 
VCO's and VCA's and he and another guy did a couple of versions of an 
Envelop Generator. We used IC's from SSMT (later bought by Percision
Monolithic, later bought by Analog Devices). Another freind of his
wrote a crude sequencer (pre-MIDI) program for the Apple IIe we had.
We etched our PCB's, stuffed and mounted the modules in a rack. It 
was kludgy, but it worked pretty well.

  SSMT IC's were what was used in the Prophet-5, so we went from their 
schematics and SSMT application notes,... and a few tweaks of our own 
(we were shooting for the blue skies of synths). 

  We never copy straight off the Prophet schematics, but only used it 
as a reference to see how they implemented what they did to give us some
kind of starting point. We wanted to keep our mistakes down to a minmum.
We went mainly from the IC app-notes, with a few of our own features we
wanted for our system.

  Still have that thing at my friends place, and yes, portions of it still 
function last time we checked.

  So, yeah Victor, I know the feeling. Can't get away from those modulars.
But then again, why would anyone want to.

  If wishes were horses (or kyma), I'd have a wall size Model-5 Synths,
MIDI-ed and polyphonic. Oh wait,... I already almost have that now with 
my Arturia software package, and on a laptop. Ain't technology grand!
 

Later, cheers,
-Partev

yes, I've worked with a big 16tracker once upon a time. Not something  
I'd like to come back to. But I would love having a large modular  
synth in our studio.

While on the subject. Has anyone got a CSD to emulate Stockhause's  
Kontakte synthesis techniques? I think it's just pulse generator +  
filters and feedback loop.

Best,

Peiman
