Audio Dreamlist

Hi. I'm Jesse. I'm an electronic music artist and photographer, on permanent disability with a degenerative neuromuscular disorder. My disability benefits are enough to cover my basic living expenses, but don't leave much for the gear I need for my music and photography. So I have a number of crowdfunding campaigns for those things.

https://assets.gogetfunding.com/taking-this-show-on-the-r... is for a bunch of relatively inexpensive music gear that is currently or recently in production, and can be readily obtained from retail stores.

https://assets.gogetfunding.com/lens-fund-stage-i is for high-priority, and generally fairly inexpensive, photography gear.

https://assets.gogetfunding.com/lens-fund-stage-ii/ is for photography gear I want that either is really expensive, or fairly low priority.

This new campaign, like Lens Fund Stage II, is for higher-end music gear that I'd love to have, but will likely never be able to afford on my own, as well as vintage gear that doesn't have a fixed price, or is hard to come by. Obviously I'll be getting many of these items on eBay, so I don't know how much they'll cost, and can't predict when I'll find them. I've added a number of items from this and other campaigns to my wishlist on Amazon though, so people can buy them for me directly if they prefer. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/registry/wishlist/JHIXDGL...

The list of items I want is roughly in order of priority. Prices are shown where available (regular retail price, excluding tax and shipping).

Modular:

I want to build two identical systems, each with 3 or 4 independent oscillators (I'd prefer 4, but I'm finding a few 3-channel modules and not many 4-channel ones), 1 sub-oscillator, 4-channel midi-to-cv, 4 vcfs, 2 lfos, 4 adsr envelopes, 4 vcas, 5-channel mixer, plus a separate unit with 2 16-step sequencers, 2 vcos, 2 vcfs, 2 lfos, 2 adsr envelopes, 2 vcas, delay, distortion, other effects, and a 4-channel mixer, and a fourth unit with 4 sine oscillators, 4 16-step gate sequencers, mixer, delay, 4 envelopes, vcas. I'd like to use mainly Intellijel products, since the founder of the company is an acquaintance of mine from the local music scene, but I'd likely use a mix of Intellijel, Pittsburgh Modular, Doepfer, Waldorf, 4MS, Roland, and possibly others. Some specific modules I'm interested in:

Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizer Block (1 vco, 1 vcf, 1 vca, 1 envelope) $383

Intellijel UMIDI midi-to-cv with USB (1 channel) $302

Intellijel Metropolis sequencer $766

Intellijel Dual ADSR $290

I don't know enough yet about building modular systems to know what exactly will work, but for the first 2, a build like this might work:

2x Intellijel Dixie II+ $604

Roland SYS-512 $469
