== History ==
In the early 70's Serge Tcherepnin began to design and build synthesizers while teaching at California Institute of the Arts. Before long, other professors, students, and musicians became interested in these new synthesizers. Serge set up an odd manufacturing arrangement where interested people paid $700 up front for parts, then worked for him building modules. When done, they were rewarded with a six-panel system of their own.<ref name="kscs">[https://web.archive.org/web/20160806034511f/http://www.cgs.synth.net/synth/serge/index.html Classic Serge] by Ken Stone, 1999, with permission of the author
In 1992 Serge production and intellectual property were taken over by [[Sound Transform Systems]] (STS) of Oakland, California, founded by [[Rex Probe]] in 1984.<ref name="vail">''Vintage Synthesizers: Groundbreaking Instruments and Pioneering Designers of Electronic Music Synthesizers'' by Mark Vail, Backbeat Books, 2000, {{ISBN|0879306033}}</ref>

Serge uses [[Connectors#Banana_plugs_vs._other_plugs|banana jacks]] for patching.<ref name="vail"/> The Serge connector color scheme is more about the type signal than its function but with some flexibility e.g. some CVs can go negative. Many black inputs are AC coupled, but most black outputs are not.<ref name="maint">[https://www.modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24954 Serge Maintenance Info], Mod Wiggler forum, Nov 2010</ref><ref name="if">[https://www.modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=205598 If you could color code your inputs....], Mod Wiggler forum, Apr 2010</ref>
