The thread about prices for used panels morphed into a fascinating trip down memory lane back to late 70's when the Serge system gelled into more or less what...
... This is my question to Rex: Will 2008 be the year in wich all Serge schematics will see the light? Thank you Fernando, from Tumbuktu ... But, I thought...
Send BaBaWaWa to interview Rex? LMAO!! now there's a hot lick. You might have better luck asking Rex to give a five year weather forecast. You might get him...

... Rex has sensibly avoided making big changes to the original Serge designs, concentrating on "quality issues" instead. I can't imagine him going digital -...
... There was a module called the Extended Preamp (XPRE) - it appeared in the 1979 catalog, and was different to the preamp Detector. There's a picture in the...
Hi guys. Been awhile since I've posted, here goes: Some comments: Digital ADSRs, any digital technology used for the generation of either sound or control...
Anticipating a question which was just asked of me offline, yes I do have certain Serge Schematics which I acquired for repairing purposes but no, I can't...
gonna send BaBaWahWah in to interview Rx. Maybe she will return with some definitive answers about what the future holds for STS. Or maybe she'll just return...

I cant find 3080's and LM3900s are they called anything else? My stepped doesnt work so would love to fix the problem :-)...
... CA3080, LM3080 LM3900N Make sure you get them in the standard dual in line version (DIL/PDIP). The 3080 has also been made in a round metal can and in...
Hi Amnesia, Mouser has the lm3900's and the NTE 3080 equivalent in stock. I found these by going to mouser.com and typing "lm3900", then "CA3080" into the...
Digikey also sells the LM3900. That's where I usually get mine. There's a local electronics store here in LA who also stocks them for me. They're Electronic...
The Preamp/Detector that I did graphics for (1977) was configured differently to the XPRE that you refer to. I don't think it had the 'gain adjust'. My brain...
hello list, do the pre-STS (early 80's i guess, not the vey first serge series) serge panels require +12/-12 volts plus +6volts supply? also what is the...
... AFAIK, the modules using +6v were the first generation ones from around 1973, and they were discontinued around 1980. Modules requiring +6v were: Peak &...
hell steve, ok, thank you! btw, i have a triple comparator module but its graphics suggest that it must be an early 80's model (you know, rectangle thin line...
... That sounds like it would be from 77-79. All the triple comparators I've seen used the +6v supply. Take a look at the component side of the circuit board....
hello Steve, thanks for the info again. ok, probably you're right in all these, as i am no tech and do not know much about electronics. i had just given the...
As the number of modules requiring +6v dwindled it became common practice to put a small regulator in the panel itself rather than distribute +6v from the...
... I've seen that on a C/M module too. BTW, the C/M was also a 6v module - missed it off my list. I don't know how Rex does them these days (or if he still...
I am trying to use the Smooth stepped generator module and I can't seem to get anything out of the bottom half. I've read the wizardry pages at Egres but am...
Hi, Take an audio signal, could be the "s/h source" out of the Rand Source, a signal from an osc, or a DTG clocked at audio rates. Anything really, but those...
try this: set up an osc so you can hear it patch stepped out to 1v/oct of osc turn rate knob fully clockwise patch a varying voltage to in on the ssg lower...
Hi, Try this: Patch white noise to Stepped IN and a DTG or DSG in Cycle mode (or with TRIG patched to GATE) to Stepped SAMPLE. Stepped RATE knob should be...
Thanks to everyone for the quick and thorough suggestions. I think my fears are realized as none of these patches with a trigger or noise or anything seem to...
Offering this as a possible clue: The SSG was mentioned in a recent post about things that can go wrong. Be careful not to patch outputs to outputs, often...
Hello fellow Serge users! Here's a link to one of my current projects, the "minimal techno" dance music duo known as Spiral Blaster. At the heart of our setup...
