  2. PFFF, you call THAT a modular? probably can hardly make a sound...i wonder if Grant gives a discount for this many modules...or does he have to fork over 800.00 each too...

  4. That's really awesome looking.
    I wonder what the modules are mounted with since the Wiard racks only hold six.

    If you've used any of Grant's stuff you wouldn't flinch at the price.

  9. It's a custom enclosure. Adam pointed out a side shot which shows two of them in his second link (above).

    Gary Chang is a professional. His credits list something like 80 film scores and his studio reflects these needs. Yeah, Behringer patch bay, but in that room, which is fully 5.1, there's also a Synthclavier, every Waldorf ever made including a super-rare purple-knobbed Wave, a nine panel Serge he's had since the 70s, an Arp 2600, scads of Daking compressors, T.C. 6000 reverb, something like 96 channels of Protools, most running on Apogee converters...it goes on. He's also one of the most genuine and knowledgable people currently posting on synth sites. I don't know of any other's of his caliper that approachable or involved with this scene. So if the cone of slience was ever required, this is the time. Please don't flame him, he's definately one of the good guys.

  10. The Wiard stuff is gorgeous looking... seeing so much of it in one place... wow.

    Something very steampunk about it... probably just my interests showing but I always think it looks kind of like some mad victorian invention that when dialled in correctly turns into a time machine :)

  11. 8*) the Behringer patchbay is in place to bring the input and output of the Schippman Ebbe und Flut from rear to front access....
