Question...
Will there be any MIDI input - I'm thinking specifically of using a knob-box
( Peavey 1600x ) as a real-time controller... Count me in for a couple
anyway - sounds fantastic!

There hasn't been much about it "officially", but behind the scenes there
has been 2 months of HW
and SW work.
Full details will come later (with all the other 500 series) on Dec. 1st
(full web pages, demos,
ordering, etc). Here is a 'teaser':
a) It's a digital sequencer with both CV in and CV out. The uP is blazing
fast, 5 MIPs (million
instructions/second). FLASH memory is used to store setups and sequencer
data (no batteries).
b) the panel does not look like a traditional sequencer. The trade off was
functions versus $400
worth of pots, LEDs and switches in a big panel. The MOTM-600 is 3U wide.
c) you can chain multiple MOTM-600s together via small ribbon cables at the
rear.
d) it will take getting use to the 'fingering' to use it live. Just like a
flute has different
fingering than a sax, the MOTM-600's panel has a different 'fingering' to
say a Moog 960. But it
has about 65 MORE features than a Moog 960 :)
e) It is not a kit. It wll be fully assembled. The ∗bugetary∗ price is
$399. The ∗maximum∗ price
will be $499. I don't think I can get down below $359 due to parts cost.
I want the HW and SW to progress until mid-Nov until I start talking
specifics, because certain
desires now in the spec (the SW/functional spec runs over 30 pages long) may
be undoable do to
time/code space/timimg issues.
Sequencer 'traditionalists' may not warm up to the interface. But before you
make your mind up,
wait for the details to emerge and I think you'll see the power lurking
behind the panel.
