Meet Maggie
If you are reading this then you might have stopped by Switched On in Austin and met Maggie. Maggie is a 6 year analog modular synthesizer in the MU format, hand built by Synthesizers.com in Tyler, Texas. She arrived at Switched On just before Thanksgiving on November 20th 2024. She is planning on staying in Austin for a while and is looking forward to showing folks in the area what an MU format synthesizer looks, feels and sounds like.
All Synthesizers.com systems are completely customizable and Maggie’s module layout has changed several times over the course of her life. She is a 110 space system and currently has 10 voltage controlled oscillators, 4 different flavors of filters, 6 mixers, 7 envelope generators, 3 full size sequencers and numerous other utility modules. Her current layout and module selection were chosen to represent a classic MU system. Synthesizers.com manufactures over 60 different modules of different levels of complexity, but Maggie is a simple girl who prefers to feature the spacious, luxurious panel layouts and more traditional approach to East Coast subtractive synthesis.
Maggie loves to be touched and played. She hates it when folks are intimidated by her size and all her knobs and she really hates it when someone puts her behind a red velvet rope. While she might resemble a certain vintage modular system that must be handled with care, nothing could be further from the truth for Maggie. She is extremely durable and there is no piece to her that the synth repair experts at Synthesizers.com can’t fix. Please feel free to explore the wonderful experience that creating on a large format MU synthesizer system can bring.
Fun Fact: Maggie actually has a twin sister Molly who was born about 2 days after her. While Maggie prefers to get out and see the world, Molly is a homebody who prefers to stay at our shop in Stafford TX, where she gets to be the one that tries out all the crazy new module prototypes the team at Synthesizers.com are cooking up. Molly loves it when the Houston area synthesizer enthusiasts stop by to play with her.
