Introduction

The MMM Phoenix series modular synthesizer incorporates true-analog modules housed in a “grab and go” modular format.

Each cabinet contains space for 12 modules fed by an external power supply, providing for a truly portable, 12 module, analog modular system.

As your budget and needs grow, the system has been designed to interlock with additional systems, horizontally and vertically, for virtually infinite system expansion.

When you’re ready to go, each pair of cabinets latch face-to face into a compact, protective enclosure measuring 11-3/8” (28.89cm) W X 15” (38.1cm) H X 7” (17.78cm) D. Roughly, the size of 6 packages of printer paper stacked 3 high, side by side.

Each system with a MIDI module responds to one of 16 MIDI channels if so desired. Grow your system into a larger system with more creative power available than is available in a larger format system of the same size. When it’s time to go, the entire system breaks down easily into independent, easy to transport cases.

MMM Cabinets

Every system starts with a cabinet. There are two cabinet styles available; a vertical and a horizontal. Each measures 11.5” (29.21cm) W X 15” (38.1cm) H X 3.5” (8.89cm) D.

The standard cabinet is constructed with maple, but other woods are available on request.

Each one includes a mounting frame for the modules, rubber feet, vertical interlocking hardware, power entry and distribution and a power supply.

Hinge sets are sold separately because this is what determines whether each cabinet is an 'A' cabinet or a 'B' cabinet (if you have one of each they will latch together side-by-side or face-to-face.)

• Vertical Cabinet
• Horizontal Cabinet
• Hinge Set A
• Hinge Set B
• Module Mounting Screws

Note: Custom configurations are available on request. Please contact us for more information.

MMM Modules

Once you've picked out your cabinets and figured out how you want them to go together it's time to choose your modules.

The modules conform to the electrical audio and CV standards of most of the currently available systems and can be cross-patchable with other manufacturers systems.
