Can I process my guitar with Synthesizers.com modules?
Synthesizers.com --- FAQ - Frequently Asked QuestionsYes, if you boost the signal level with a Q118 Instrument Interface. Signal levels of a guitar are very low and need to be boosted (amplified) in order to match those of a modular synth. Synthesizers.com modules are not designed to work stand-alone, they need an enclosure such as a cabinet or rack frame, and a power supply system. There is not a module that will extract pitch information from your guitar (Pitch to voltage converter). That is a very difficult task.
How are Synthesizers.com modules different from Moog?
Synthesizers.com --- FAQ - Frequently Asked QuestionsThere are several aspects of the design of Synthesizers.com systems that are improvements over Moog modules. Some of these things are possible due to better electronics, some are because of my design philosophy, and some are due to hindsight. Here are a few things: This includes font types and sizes, placement of graphics and layout of panels.
Can I use Synthesizers.com modules with MOTM modules?
Synthesizers.com --- FAQ - Frequently Asked QuestionsYes. MOTM Modules are made by Synthesis Technology. We both use standard voltages for audio, control and pitch signals (1V/Oct). So there is no problem using the two types of modules together. The difference is the power supply connectors and panel width. MOTM modules are 8.75 high (5U) just like ours but come in width multiples of 1.75". This will leave a gap when placed in a Synthesizers.com cabinet which is expecting module widths in multiples of 2.125 like Moog modules.
Can I use Synthesizers.com modules with Modcan/Cynthia modules?
Synthesizers.com --- FAQ - Frequently Asked QuestionsModcan and Cynthia modules have different panel dimensions (9" tall vs 8.75" for the .com and 2.25" wide vs 2.125" for the .com). This prevents using our standard cases to house both types of modules. Modcan and Cynthia modules use +15, -15 volts just like Synthesizers.com systems but the connector is different and special power cables will be needed. Modcan and Cynthia modules use banana jacks instead of 1/4" jacks so you can use our Banana Jack Interface to interface the two types of modules.
Can I move modules around?
Synthesizers.com --- FAQ - Frequently Asked QuestionsYes, it's very easy to move modules around and most people eventually do so to match their patching style. Synthesizers.com systems are very modular and most modules can be moved to any location in the cabinet. Disconnect the AC Power cord, unscrew the module, pull it out, and disconnect the small DC power connector. Power cables are Keyed to help eliminate incorrect connection. Some modules have Aid modules next to them with cables that connect the two behind the panel.
Will Synthesizers.com products interface with my existing equipment?
Synthesizers.com --- FAQ - Frequently Asked QuestionsWe use voltage levels that are very common to analog synthesizers which will make it easy to interface with other audio equipment. We use 1 volt per octave pitch control signals, and 10 volt peak to peak waveforms. Usually some attenuation is made of the final output before patching into mixers or amps. We also use 1/4" patch cords which also make life easier when connecting equipment from different manufacturers. The details can be seen on our Technical Information Page.

Why doesn't my guitar stay in tune?
Frequently Asked QuestionsTo best explain the most common causes of this problem, lets follow the path of the strings. We begin at the tuners. If the they are poorly made, loose, or installed incorrectly, the strings will slip. Next, the strings can bind at the nut if the slots are cut at the wrong angle or incorrect width. Now the strings pass over the entire neck and this is where intonation is very important. If it has not been properly set, you will notice some chords sound in tune and others do not.

Okay then, what is "Snake Guitar"?
Eno FAQ 2: about the musicI decided to ask him about some of the instruments listed on the album's liner, with such exotic appellations as "snake guitar, "digital guitar," and "desert guitars."
