Excellent video. Not many Serge system breakdowns on youtube.

Bravo pour cette chouette présentation !

ayy there everyoone, i hope you are all doing good

so cool! I would love to own a 4u system like this one day!

Building a serge system and a paper face is definitely on my list 😂. Im still filling up a Pittsburgh structure case but when thats done Ive been so tempted by serge systems.

This is just great. I want to build some Serge modules and this just spurred me on to make it happen. That filter… 🥰

Would be nice of you to make a dedicated video on the P&T audio range stuff a la complex vco, as it gets messy pretty fast in this one, which is nice as well heh! Thanks for keeping it up!

This is absolutely fantastic, and I would like to thank you for sharing such a great breakdown of this mighty combo. Clean production, very sympathetic presentation, and a great (musical!) introduction for people interested in the arcane world of Serge (also inspiring for seasoned Serge-ists, too). Bravo! The only small point of criticism I would like to express is the thumbnail of the video. As tempting as it is to call the Mantra / TKB combination a Serge Easel, I see major differences in the details & philosophies of these two lovely set ups. While the Buchla Music Easel is first and foremost a live performance instrument (with its layout dedicated to the idea of quick manipulations during live sessions = playability), the Serge is much more a chemist's lab kit, endless possibilities, but the micro-patching of various functions would drive me mad during live performances. E.g. (no pun intended), the availability of random CVs: With the Mantra, you have to apply a lot of patch cables, Don Buchla included four different (well, sequential) CV outputs on the modules surface. But this is just me & my opinion, and my ramblings shouldn't distract from your great video. A final question, just because I'm curious: Your accent sounds French, and since I absolutely love the Vendée, I'd like to know where you are (roughly) from. Synth meet-up at the Bois de la Chase to jam out? Absolument!

Lucky serge is always brilliant circuit wise

Serge Funk ftw

This is a fantastic video, thank you for going in depth, am sold :) may I ask about the bananas going into what seems to be the light reverb? Is it for ground? Can you explain whats going on there in terms of connections, and also how you have connected it to your osciloscope (what model is it?). 🙏🏽

this may be a silly question, but is there a way to fit these panels in a buchla music easel or similar type case?

What is the small box at the bottom right? It looks like it has eurorack and banana inputs?

Any idea how the 3U variable bandwidth VCF compares to the VCF on this ? Amazing sounds
