Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

I think that it would be appropriate for this project to have 2 diagrams for patches: both a
"schematic" and a "motm implementation" -- kind of like a schemo + layout.

The schematics could be generalized, and of interest to non-motm-ers as well. This part
helps you understand how the signal flow works. Then, the motm diagram would show a
specific patch on a motm system.

Potentially, one or the other diagram could be trivial, and not included. But it makes sense if
this patch book is going to be instructional, and not a simple cookbook.

I have been doing these many-oscillator FM patches with lots of feedback paths that once
patched are incomprehensible. Seeing a diagram of one of these patches would just make my
brain go into shut-down. If you illustrate mults, that further obfuscates the signal flow. But
the schematic version gives a very clear image of the feedback networks and how it affects
the timbre.

So I think both are essential.
