Welcome to the Oakley Modular page, home of the Oakley Modular System since 1999. All modules have been designed by Tony Allgood of Oakley Sound Systems and are available to purchase from Krisp1 via this website. All modules are available in our ready made format or as bare printed circuit boards for you to construct yourself.
Our full size modules are primarily designed for the 5U module system as originally defined by the Synthtech MOTM modular. As such they are fully compatible with MOTM and other MOTM compatible modules. They are also very suitable for fitting in Synthesizers.com systems. If you are building them yourself you can, with a bit of imagination, get them to work with the smaller formats too.
Our Compact 3U range is designed for Euro sized modulars and Fractional Rack systems. They are designed to work on either +/-12V or +/-15V. We are hoping to develop many more modules in this range in the coming couple of years.
For technical support on all Oakley projects please refer to the knowledgeable and helpful group on the Oakley Synths Yahoo group. Tony Allgood at Oakley Sound Systems does not provide direct support for Oakley projects, but is usually available via the Oakley Synths Yahoo group.

The Legacy Modules
The 'legacy modules' are the from the older original series of Oakley Sound designs that we are unlikely to be offering again. However, a new version of the Wavefolder is being considered for release early in 2009.
Octal Resonator Eight channel 'filter bank'
polyDAC Four channel midi-CV convertor
WaveFolder A VC waveshaper for Modular Synthesisers
VC-Mixer Voltage controlled Mixer
A sidelong glance at Jarrelook's modular synthesiser built from Oakley Sound modules. They have used the smaller K knobs and used increments on all the pot positions. The case has been built by Mark Smith and the panels have been made by Scheaffer.
