Subject: Modcan in MOTM format... power?

From: eric f <ach_gott@...>
Date: 2004-12-05

I have to second Ivan's comment.  As a (soon to be) new MOTM builder, I chose the system because of the innovations in module design that Paul is engaging in now.  The joystick and effects modules from Modcan have always looked interesting in that nice-to-have kind of way,
 
But according to their website, the Modcan modules are only powered from a Modcan chassis and according to Modularsynth.com, only MOTM and Blacet modules are mutually compatible in their power delivery, though they use the same voltage.  As a green builder, this might be a naive question, but is there a simple way to work around this with a mod and add the MTA connectors & cables?
 
cheers,
eric

I would agree.  There are a number of more "utilitarian" modules such as the quad panner and joystick that I would like to have, but probably aren't worth Paul's time.  In my opinion I like the direction Paul has been heading, with unique filters and modifiers that nobody else seems to make.
