http://mattsonminimodular.com"Ichabod is a custom MMMega system commissioned by Billy Corgan of ‘Smashing Pumpkins’.
The system is a 192 module space system comprised of three custom-built 4X wide central cabinets, four standard-size auxiliary 12-space cabinets that can be utilized independently and two custom designed cable caddies for storing and organizing patch cables. The color scheme is orange and black with custom logo panels. The case is hand crafted from African Padauk. Module placement was determined to assure that each cabinet could be utilized as a stand-alone system independent of the other cabinets. Ichabod configured as pictured measures about six feet wide (1.75m) and four feet (1.37m) high.
The final module compliment has yet to be determined and presently sports a whopping 32 VCO’s, 16 VCF’s, 16 ADSR Envelope Generators, 16 VCA’s and 8 MIDI-CV controllers to consist of the main control and audio chains. The remainder of the modules are a generous multiple selection of CV generation and signal processing modules.
Billy asked George Mattson of Mattson Mini Modular to design and build a sequencer to compliment the system. Coming soon is a 3-panel wide 8X3 analog sequencer that can be synchronized and run in series or parallel with multiple units. The project required that George finalize the designs of several module designs that were in development and lead to the creation of some new modules. The new modules will be presented throughout the week.
Ichabod is now cosmetically complete. Module manufacturing is in production with completion scheduled for July or August." Note you can see the new sequencer in the bottom row of cabinets, third from the left, top row. If you click on the image and look closely you will see other unannounced modules.
