I acknowledge the standard psychological time deviation encountered by all through natural aging, but there is something else going on. I don't know if it is merely the internet and its inherent ability to create time consensus ripples and pockets, naturally occurring time (our consciousness exists in a half of a single dimension, the unidirectional experience of a single dimension of time) echos propagating in the other half of the single dimension of time we experience, the echos of a near future event of profound magnitude reflecting back at us from that near future event, possibly 7 years away, or potentially the worst scenario, man's artificial manipulation of time in other potential dimensions or axes, off of the unidirectional single dimension of time we traditionally experienced in the past. Any of these can lead to very strange outcomes, and may explain some of our more outstanding misperceptions, or difficultly, perceptions of time that some of us are experiencing. Food for thought. Drink Orange Fanta, very cold and undiluted by melting ice. I recommend a stainless steel, double walled container and a ratio of ice to Orange Fanta of 3:1.

Hi Alex, I immediatey recognised this synth after watching another fine video of yours. I have owned a four cabinet Theis Modular Synthesizer System for eleven years. I had it custom made in 2009 (the front was available in two build qualities) and picked it up at Horst Theis' place in Duisburg. His business was managed by a friend (Tronique on KZfaq). He has no website. I was particularly keen on having this system for its voltage controllable envelope generators and interesting lfo waveshapes. The price was, let's say, competitive. The original vco's used CEM 3340 chips. Mine has discrete components because when I bought it, Theis had run out of these chips, so he had to design his own vco, which according to Theis, sounds much better. If you want to see a picture of my system, read through my musical biography in English on my website, where I posted one, and if you want to hear the music I made with it, buy any cd of mine from "Sense of Urgency" to the latest, called "Deadlock". Website is www.akikaze.nl I use the TMSS, as any modular system, with few exceptions, for sound effects that can not be made with my hardwired synths. Yes, some shameless promotion of my music in return for this background information.
@AlexBallMusic3 жыл бұрын
Hi Pepijn, thanks for dropping by and giving me the backstory. It seems quite a niche club of people who have owned and used these synthesizers and there isn't much info online (no website as you mention) so this is very interesting.

Alex Ball The briefly told history of this system is that I asked Horst in summer 94 if he could bild an analogue filter box for one of the outputs of my casio fz1. Horst had built some analogue synths for himself, built Midi-CV Interfaces and also repaired synths. So he created a filter and also built an adsr. And he did it directly in that format. Thats how the tmss was born. It was more a friendship-business 😉. He built four different filter types: three different Lowpass (Softsound, Hardsound, Moog :-D - SSM, Curtis, discret) one Hipass (with a switch between 12/24 dB) You know the digital retriggerable LFO, but another interesting module is the Octave-Ranger - with CV-In for controlling octaves and also intervals. A Trigger-Seq. wich allows independent resets of the tracks. A feature wich was rare 15-20 years ago in analogue Sequencers. A Dual Skip Sequencer with different types in functionality. And as Joerg said, the building quality over the years has clearly improved.
@tronique4 жыл бұрын

I have known Horst for almost 30 years, witnessed his very first attempts at building a (modular) synthesiser based around Curtis ICs salvaged from a broken Sequential Sixtrak, and -- of course -- he was a member of the infamous commune at Ruhrorter Strasse 59 in Duisburg, together with Klaus "Cosmic" Hoffmann-Hoock (the man behind the Memotron) and the unforgettable Herbert Schmidt, of course.

Oh right. I've seen one of those but not played it. Interesting to know he had one (and sold it).
