I think that getting ideas from what other have done is always a good
source for inspiration. Sometimes you can learn what NOT to do and well as
what to do. Those of you on the synth-diy list may have no doubt followed
the thread about the two new D∗∗∗∗er modules, one of which seems to be a
blatant use of JHs (of MOTM design fame) scanner idea and design. Once I
got past the fact that this idea was apparently taken from JHs pages on
synthfool and applied for commercial use (despite JH making it available
only for private use) I had another thought. Hey, that seems like a really
cool idea for a module. Of course, I know that the MOTM implementation
would blow away the D∗∗∗∗er version. And, I bet the designer would get
proper credit in that case too. If you have not seen this new scanner
module, you should go check it out on JHs web page. The man is true genius
and I am glad to know that he is teamed up with Paul on some MOTM design
work. You can even visit the D∗∗∗∗er site and see what an "apparently"
stolen idea looks like in module form. Just don't buy it. Instead come
ask Paul to make us one if you think you would like to have it.
