I had trouble viewing all of the text on the website. So here is the
entirety of the MOTM sections...
Synthesis Technology/MOTM. Paul Schreiber set out to design the MOTher of
all Modulars (MOTM) when he began Synthesis Technology. MOTM modules
include top-quality parts throughout and conform to low-noise, audiophile
standards. For example, the modules have few LEDs in order to remove the
minute amount of noise each LED introduces into the system.
With a simple layout, large knobs, and ¼-inch jacks, MOTM modules resemble
Moog modules (see Fig. 13). However, the modules are designed for high
performance and ultra stability. The MOTM-320 Voltage Controlled LFO
($229/$149) has four discreet waveshape outputs and a CV input that alters
these waveforms. The frequency range is from approximately one cycle every
30 minutes to 4 kHz.
Most of the modules are available as complete kits (see Fig. 14), rated on a
scale of 1 to 5 for difficulty. The Synthesis Technology Web site includes
building tips for people new to DIY.
Besides the MOTM-320, the MOTM system has 13 additional modules: the
MOTM-300 Ultra VCO ($349/$259); MOTM-120 Sub-Octave Multiplexer ($199/$139);
MOTM-110 VCA/Ring Modulator ($199/$139); MOTM-101 Noise/Sample and Hold
($175/$125); MOTM-410 Triple Resonant Filter ($279/$199); MOTM-420
Voltage-Controlled Filter ($229/$169); MOTM-440 Voltage-Controlled Lowpass
Filter ($269/$199); MOTM-700 Dual Voltage-Controller Router ($189/$139);
MOTM-800 Envelope Generator ($129/$89); MOTM-820 Voltage-Controlled Lag
Processor ($209/$149); MOTM-910 Cascaded Multiple ($99); MOTM-940 Patch
Panel ($89); and the MOTM-130 Dual Pan/Fade VCA ($269/$199). For an
in-depth review of the MOTM system, see the March 2001 issue of EM.
