Actually, that Blacet Time Machine is the power hog. :) If you are that
close, it is indeed time for that additional power supply.

Subject: [motm] Re: Analog Modular freezes and needs Rebooting
I stand ever at the ready to gently instruct Elhardt in the
mysterious ways of analog synthesis. Yea, even as a mother hen
gathers her brood under her wing. But enough of that. >:-)
The problem is with the supply. When dotcom modules don't quite get
the juice they need, weird things happen. If your system is at the
brink, as it were, a variation in line voltage from your AC wall
outlet is enough to kill the oscillators and the EG's. That's why I
have to unplug my oscillator bank when I plug in my MOTM-120 or
Blacet Time Machine.
An additional power supply will soon solve this problem. I'm learning
that MOTM modules are a tad on the power-hungry side.

the trigger buttons on those modules. I powered the dotcom down and
up again, and it's been fine ever since. Not sure how something like
that can happen.
