#1: May it has an issue, but you are NOT HELPING by spewing "It's fatally flawed". THINK first.
OK, it has an issue with attack below a certain point.
#2: I will look into this. It will be next week. In the meantime, PLEASE don't spew this
everywhere. Well, OK do, torpedo MOTM and end it for everyone. I am SERIOUS! Stuff like this, in
the "wrong hands" WILL cause panic and end it. Is that what you want?
#3: Like I've said 10 times: use a MOTM-820. Repeat for #11: use a MOTM-820 for now. Because all
you need are "organ" envelopes, which are A-R (no S or D). Sustain "level" is then CV MOD of the
'110. This is a "work around" but a SOLUTION.
#4: Is there an "easy fix"? Maybe, maybe NOT. Even the "easiest" fix is unsoldering and
resoldering parts. This may not be so "easy" to some people. Then what? I have over 300 EGs in
the field. The only solution that would make financial sense is a board-level (or for some
smaller subset of assembled users, unit-level) replacement at my cost + postage. This is for the
people that would request it, as for 4 years the "fatal flaw" has elluded everyone.
This would of course delay EVERYTHING: the new VCAs, the 500 series, the 480. If say I need to
replace 100 EGs, then I would guess 2 full months to redesign, test, kit and ship. Why does this
sound bad to me?
