Hello Richard and Welcome to the list!

You will soon find that MOTM is the most addictive substance known to humankind...just relax and send all of your money to Paul right now!

As for my system, I belong to the "send me 2 of everything" school. I use a Kenton Pro-2000 Midi-to-CV to control the the following (growing every day):

1 - MOTM-100 Noise Generator/Sample & Hold
2 - MOTM-110 Ring Modulator/VCA
2 - MOTM-120 SubOctave Multiplexer
3 - MOTM-300 Ultra VCO
2 - MOTM-320 VCLFO
2 - MOTM-410 Triple Resonant VCF
2 - MOTM-420 HP/LP/N VCF
2 - MOTM-440 LP VCF
2 - MOTM-700 VC Router
5 - MOTM-800 Envelope Generator
2 - MOTM-820 VC Lag Processor
2 - MOTM-900 Power Supply
2 - MOTM-910 Multiples
2 - MOTM-940 Patch Panel

I also have the following on order:

1 - MOTM-101 Noise Generator/Sample & Hold
2 - MOTM-830 Mixer

Other "non-MOTM" modules include:

2 - JLH-822 Voltage Shifter
2 - JLH-831 Voltage Shifter
2 - Midwest Analog Products Midigator

I would eventually like to have a dual-keyboard, 6 to 8 Oscillator system filling 4 10U wide x 18U high wood cabinets...like I said....ADDICTIVE!!!

To replicate a minimoog, if I remember correctly, you would probably need the following:

2 - MOTM-300 VCOs (3 would be even better!)
1 - MOTM-320 VCLFO
1 - MOTM VCF (There has been talk on the list of a 24dB/octave "Moog"
Low Pass VCF sometime in the future...until then, a 420 or 440 would be good)
1 - MOTM-110 Ring Mod/VCA (or wait for the MOTM Dual VCA module...coming soon)
1 - MOTM-830 Mixer
1 - MOTM-101 Noise/S&H
2 - MOTM-800 EG
1 - MOTM-820 Lag Processor

With these modules, you should be able to do everything that a Mini could do, plus you would have a Ring Mod and a Sample & Hold to boot.

The list is constantly filled with info on future MOTM modules...try searching the egroups MOTM archives for release schedules. I would love to see some effects modules like Phase Shifters, Reverbs, Echos, etc. included in the MOTM lineup.

Welcome again! Hope this has been helpful!

Hi,

I've just ordered my first MOTM modules (110, 120, 300, 440). I've
been collecting analog synths for over 20 years, but this is the
first foray into modulars. I hope to put a HUGE system together over
the next year ie. MODzilla.

My question is what kind of systems do you good people have? I'm
having a hard time figuring out how many of each module I should
realistically shoot for. To start with I'm going for the Minimoog
equivalent in modules.

Also, are there any plans for an analog sequencer, joystick or
theremin type module? Or FX modules-phase, echo etc.?

Cheers,

Richard F.

PS. Any MOTM users in Vancouver, BC?
