Subject: Slightly more sophisticated newbie questions

From: "Greg Amann" <greg.amann@...>

I have been studying the photos for three synths: Stooge Larry,
Darmok and Synth of Doom. If there are any other comprehensive photo
sites of MOTM based larger synths, please let me know! Many questions
are resolved by studying photos but I have two questions at this time.

1.- If you have a centralized power source (like Larry) how do you
maintain a true "star" power distribution topology?

2.- Larry's "Magic Buss" seems to me to be a pretty slick idea and yet
I am not familiar with anyone else using such a system. If you could
go back and redesign your set-ups would you include something along
this line? Is is better to just go with mult modules? (I am
soliciting opinions from anyone with experience with larger modular
synths, NOT trying to establish synth canon or start some wierd war).

I thank you all for your help, in advance, and remain humbly your
student, BFG
