hello all,
so here it is -
the oakley module has three noise outputs, white pink and 'infra-red', along
with manual high pass & low pass filters
i've put mine on a 2U panel, but with normalisation, you could easily fit it
in 1U. as far as i'm concerned noise is noise, but the 'infra-red' output is
more like 'wandering DC' it's slow enough for my favourite app which is put
some downward only lag over the noise, patch it to the cv input of a vca to
control found voices during a mix / session - it's great, i have a jack
kerouac cd, nice long reverb, and i just comes in and tails off at random.
the motm slow / random output is a little too fast/random for this, though
i'm sure that simple filtering or lag processing would work - though i've
never gotten it quite right. off course on the oakley module you have a pair
of manual filters, on the motm module you have sample & hold - they both
have noise outputs, but they are different modules and i think they
compliment each other in a system. i have an motm 100, 101, and an oakley
noise/filter (i think it ended up being an OMS-340)

cheers
