Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

I'll chime in here. You have made a good first selection!

When getting started you can use this sort of Y-adapter instead of a
multiple:

Later you will find the MOTM-910 useful, too.

As Paul said, a second MOTM-800 would be a good choice, because you have
two VCAs plus a VCF that all can use envelopes. My opinion on the LFO
is that the 390 is more versatile than the 380, so I would get a 390
first. You get square waves from it that you can use to trigger the
MOTM-101 and the 800s. I use a 390 as a master clock like this in
almost EVERY patch. Also, one of the two LFOs in the 390 is
voltage-controlled, so you can get random tempos if you feed back the
MOTM-101 to the FM input of the LFO.

To sum it up: Substitute a MOTM-800 for the 910 in your list at first,
and get a couple of Radioshack Y-adapters.
