Wiard Joystick - Model GR-1209B

Some pics of the Frac format Wiard Joystick GR 1209B

 iT'S A very simple module.
The joystick features a two-axis CV output as well as a pushbutton that triggers a gate output. The joystick does not employ return springs, meaning it stays where you place it until you move it again.


Should be easy to build.
The green wire in the photo connects to GND. The red wire connects to +12V

The joysticks are easy to find on ebay,

For the record, Grant produced a few variations of this joystick over the years.
The old 300 series had the 311 with the analog voltmeter.


Then came the beautiful 311C
The two JAGs joined the 2 joysticks

In Frac this came out: The GR 1211




And there was also the joyrider which combined a borg filter with the joystick


The JAGs found their way into the eurorack format, but sadly not the joysticks
Still, there are plenty of other eurorack joystick makers
