Serge synthesizer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Serge synthesizer, or "Serge Modular Music System" is an analogue modular synthesizer system originally developed by Serge Tcherepnin at CalArts in the 1970's.
Serge synthesizers are known for their flexibility, audio quality and relative compactness. Today, Serge synthesizers are built by Sound Transform Systems in Hartland, Wisconsin, USA.
The module configuration for Serge systems can be selected by the user. With module widths ranging from 1" to 3" or more, several modules are then arranged on a 17" wide panel.
In addition to fully featured standard synthesis modules such as voltage controlled oscillators, filters, and envelope generators, the Serge system includes esoteric audio and voltage processors such as a Wave Multiplier, a Frequency Shifter, an Analogue Delay as well as a very flexible touch-sensitive keyboard controller combined with a 16-stage analogue sequencer, known as the TKB.
