Wow... Those filters sound amazing... What a fantastic piece of gear! Also: I'm now resigned to the fact that at some point I'm going to get a modular synth (albeit not one in this pricerange).

this im pretty sure, was used on OCTOPUS. When they were 10k or so, i regret not buying one then, cause 20k plus is too much for these imo. Kent serviced two of them for richard and hans zimmer bought both a few years ago...they are mega! there were about 50 or so made.
you cant compare the system 100m to these, as they have a MUCH BIGGER AND CREAMIER sound. I remember even when i had 4x5 system 100m modules with about 6 oscillators, it still couldnt compete :-)

great find Nick!
i'm pretty sure one member of depeche mode also has this. they used it 100% on their record "songs of faith & devotion" 1993.

Actually I think Flood has one who was producer on it - top chap and by all accounts a real whiz on the modualr stuff.

the one DM use, is daniel miller's. Flood's got shedloads of gear, including a moog system 55 or 3c

I had the use of a System 700 back in 1980 for 6 months.... I was so sad to see it go.. boohoo. When the more manageable 100M (the compact version with mini-jack connectors), I bought a system with 15 modules which I had built into a case with a bunch of Oberheim SEMs. I lent that out to a "friend" who lived in Blackpool UK, who was being harassed by Scientology thugs for money, and he ended up selling it to someone in London. Ouch.

The wonderfulness of this remarkable synth is matched only by the dreadfulness of the camera work. I puked fifteen times as the lens zoomed and swirled. It would have been lovely to actually see this beast as well as hear it!
