Subject: synth kids

Is there anyone else out there letting little kids play with their
MOTM systems? I've found that my grandson loves to play with the
sounds. With the addition of the dual ribbon controller, he requires
a little less supervision, too.

The next kid kontroller will be a pair of x-y joysticks. I've got an
XR-2206 function generator set up for LFO operation with the
amplitude and frequency controlled by one joystick. The second
joystick will be dividing voltages between inputs of two diff amps of
a TL072.

Malachi is getting pretty good at this. It keeps him occupied while
I work on other things in the studio, too. With the volume down, the
kid-operated synth is easier on my nerves than Micki playing my drum
kit, believe me!
