Answering as best as I can recall from previous postings. More information
is available by searching the group archives.

> MOTM ??? Triple Preamp - Level 1.5

No, just a preamp for low level signals such as guitars and microphones

> MOTM-500 VC Pulse Divider - Level 3
> Is this like a random LFO

No, this is a combined fixed and VC divider for pulse signals. Input a
clock signal and you get pulses divided by 2, 3, 4 etc. at the outputs.

> MOTM-530 Envelope Nest - Level 1
> ???

I never saw much information on this one. I believe it has multiple
envelope outputs with variable/inter-related triggering for each one.

This is a shift register and some logic with semi/pseudo random
characteristics. At high frequencies it can generate unusual recycling
pulse waves all the way to noise type sounds, while at low frequencies it
can be used for semi-random gate signals synchronized to a common clock.

> MOTM 5?? Interpolating Scanner - Level 2
> CV controled short wave radio? Stockohousen, Cage Can?

No, but that was an interesting guess. The Interpolating Scanner allows
crossfades between multiple inputs. Search the web for haible and scanner
for more information.
