> Hi Larry! Lucky you, getting to play around at NAMM! :) Two questions:
Yes, I felt lucky and was glad to be there. I met so many nice people. One
that I particularily forgot to mention was Kevin Lightner. He was working
in the Moog booth. Kevin helped me out years ago with some Roland repairs
long before I started into modular and DIY. His Synthfool website has
always been an inspiration for me showing how individual contributions can
really add up to something big that benefits everyone.
> 1) Is this VC EG the upcoming CS-80-like MOTM-880? Was a prototype
available for you to play with?
There was no prototype there. Scott has that and he and I have been
struggling with front panel arrangement to try and cram all those features
into a 2U panel. It seems like he always has "one too many" of something
for a nice fit. And, of course, no one wants to even consider a compromise
in features.
Maybe Scott can say more about how this compares to the CS-80 EGs. But, as
I basically understand it, you are correct that it is CS-80 like in that it
can go below zero. However, there are extras on top of even that. :)
> 2) How are your cabinets being received?
Well, not too many people could dig their faces out of the front of Paul's
sequencer long enough to notice the cabinets. But, those that did liked
them and the idea behind the cost savings a cabinet kit could offer to
customers.
