Resergence Panels

The proposal

Sequencer/programmer

Panel format: 17 x 7 ", 17 module units wide.

Proposed Layout.

Modules:

• Sequencer
• 5 stage Programmer
• 5 stage Programmer
• Custom "join" control for coupling the programmers into a single 10 stage programmer. All combined outputs are available from this row, while the programmers keep their separate outputs. These summed outputs are available all the time, regardless of whether the programmers are coupled or not.

Other changes:

• the addition of LEDs to the programmers.
• the addition of an "All Event Pulse" that occurs whenever a programmer event is triggered, unlike the regular "Pulse" output that only responds to button presses.
• the addition of a small pin matrix that allows rapid connection of the sequencer to the programmers
• Sequencer outputs are capable of Wire ORing. i.e. they can be shorted together.

• Most likely I will use minijacks, as all of my other equipment uses this, including my original Serge.

The finished panel

The front of the completed unit. Some multiples were added in the blank space, as per my vintage programmers. I made the panel with built in rack ears. I fail to see the point in having them removable for my use. Yes, they are mini-jacks, despite looking like bananas in the photo. And true to Serge practices, I have my bolts straight through the module name text.

And from behind. SEQ, PROG, SEQ wired as LED drivers, PROG, mixer for the third combined CV output. Due to the use of the matrix for connecting the sequencer to the programmers, and the external LED drivers, there are a LOT of wires in this thing.

The proposal

Voice #1

Panel format: 17 x 7 ", 17 module units wide.

Modules:

• Custom inputs for VCOs
• VCO
• VCO
• Ring
• VCF
• VCF
• Dual Processor
• Gate
• Smooth and Stepped Function Generators

Changes:

• The VCOs are not Serge designs, though have been made to use the standard panel. While extra functionality is available on the board, only the Linear inputs and 1V/oct inputs have been brought out to the column to the left of the VCOs.

• The Dual Processor is a good choice for a mixer as it allows subtractive mixing as well as summing. It can be used to process both CV and audio. It will be particularly useful in mixing parallel filters.
