WHAT UR WATCHIN'?!?!
Steiner Synthasystem:
As an introduction, I have secured all the original Steiner Synthasystem schematics from the "master", Nyle Steiner, himself. With a lot of help from Nyle, I am getting close to offering his original modules at the least as PCBs for sale. I have also created Euro panels which should be easily adaptable to Frac, for them.
I will eventually have every module Nyle had in his original Synthasystem. Having him so involved has been great. We were exchanging emails late last night, about 3 or 4 am, and he was saying he now basically has a mini system going, sequencer, VCO, VCA, and EG.
Right now, we have built and tested:
VCO, The Synthasystem Type “A” with four waveform outputs
VCA/Mixer
Voltage Sequencer 3X8 or 1X16 and 1X8
ENVDL #1/#2 This stands for Envelope Generator Duration Level . These are two of three EG’s in the triple envelope generator. The third, which will go to prototype PCB order this week is a type ENVDT which stands for Envelope Generator Duration Time. Instead of picking the hold level, you control the hold time.
I will eventually offer:
1. VCO type “A”. The Synthasystem also had a type “B” and “C” which were scaled back version of the type “A”. Since the Type “A” does it all, I don’t think I’ll re-issue the others unless there is some demand)
2. VCA/Mixer
3. VCF (the “real” original Steiner version. There is a difference in how Nyle did the resonance as compared to how those doing tribute filters typically do it)
4. Four different EGs.
a. ENVDL #1 – Duration Level
b. ENVDL #2 – Duration Level with a switch which converts the attack time to a delay time
c. ENVDT – Instead of duration level control, it controls the duration time. It also has a switch to convert the attack time to an initial delay time
d. ENVVD
One will be the Triple Envelope Generator which combines #1, #2, and #3 above. It’s the one which was in the Synthasystem. The fourth is one I don’t think Nyle ever released, but I’m going to. It has a variable damping. I haven’t built it or seen documentation other than a schematic I found digging through Nyle’s archives so I’m not sure what it’s controls really do. The end user can build these all separately if they want to.
5. Voltage Sequencer
6. Frequency Divider
7. Two voice keyboard
8. “Multiphonic” Keyboard (very cool controller)
9. Noise generator
10. Peak Selector
11. Phaser
12. Ring Modulator (Nyle is toying with the idea of changing this from using the MC1495 chip to discrete components based on his VCA design)
13. Sample and Hold
14. Selective Inverter (honestly, I haven’t quite figured this one out yet. Nyle tried to explain it to me but I didn’t quite get it.)
15. Tuner/Monitor
16. Input Pre-amp
17. Voltage Controlled Trigger Generator
18. Voltage Follower (basically a slew rate limiter or portamento)
19. Voltage Processor (generates different combinations of normal and inverted outputs of an input signal)
20. Power Supply panel/distribution.
21. Trigger converter. This is not a Steiner design, but something people will need to use these in modern modulars. The Steiner modules uses S-Triggers like Moog. This is a daughter board or a separate module to convert between S-Triggers and Voltage triggers. For example, you can piggyback one of these to an EG PCB so that you can seamlessly use voltage triggers on the front panels.
I'd like to know in general how many of you would be interested in any of these.
I think PCBs for the core modules, VCO, VCA, triple EG, VCF, and sequencer will be ready to go this fall.

Op Muff Wiggler loopt een poll om de intresse te inventariseren.
Of er slechts pcb's of kant en klare kits worden aangeboden moeten we even afwachten.
