Serge Tcherepnin was a professor at CalArts, and was exposed to some of the earliest modular synthesizers designed by Don Buchla. Serge desired to create something like the exclusively expensive Buchla modular synthesizers "for the people that would be both inexpensive and powerful." After building prototypes, Tcherepnin went on to develop kits for students to affordably build their own modular synthesizer, production taking place unofficially on a second floor Calarts balcony. This led to Tcherepnin leaving CalArts in order to produce kits commercially.

After leaving CalArts, Serge had a small factory on Western Avenue in Hollywood. He relocated to a three-story Victorian house on Haight Street in 1980. While the synthesizers were inexpensive compared to Moog, Buchla, Roland and other manufacturers, Serge Tcherepnin's emphasis was always on providing musicians with quality equipment.
