Subject: MOTM-650 Proto #2 alive!

From: "Paul Schreiber" <synth1@...>
Date: 2003-09-18

After 2 fierce days of HW/SW debugging, the #2 prototype of the MOTM-650 MIDI-CV converter is up
and running! There are still lots of things to be done to get it to a final, shippable product.
But, the basic HW is 100% operational (all 4 CV outputs work perfectly at 1V/Oct within 50uV, the
Gates work, LCD menus are functional, Ext Clock works and the MIDI utility to flash in new
firmware works).

The SW team will get 2 prototypes and will be furiously pounding out code. We are planning on
Nov. 1 to be SW "alpha test" day, where we ∗think∗ it's all in there running as planned :)

Now that the hardware is solid, I can start on the ∗production∗ version pc boards and panel. I
don't know when the ship date is, I'm just trying to get there as fast as possible.

Tomorrow: starting on the production MOTM-480 board layout.
