Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

I think a collaboration between Paul and John Blacet could be a very good
thing since John has some interesting ideas. One of my favorite homebrew
modules a friend had made was the Event Arranger portion of a Blacet product
from 20 years ago which also contained a VC Clock -- I believe the Synapse
article is up on his website. The Event Arranger outputs several trigger and
gate patterns (user programmed from a bunch of switches) from a single clock
source. It was useful for synchronizing several sequencers and similar clock
related modules like the up/down and reset inputs as well as gated VCAs for
drones.

I similarly like the Blacet Frequency Divider which allows for very long
division periods (up to 4096), I also like the Divide by 1.5 (which results
in a note a perfect fourth below the input) control which adds a very full
sound.

I too have a Dark Star Chaos, and a couple of the DSC PCBs, so I might be
interested in a MOTM front panel or two if these were available.
Unfortunately I'm not as impressed with this module as others seem to be. It
can make interesting noises as described by John on his website, but it
really isn't very versatile and differs substantially from what I've seen so
far with MOTM.

Dave, I'd like to see your mod for VCA/D, this might make me happier with the
module in general.

PS. Joe's MOTM system looks great -- I'm completely envious!
