Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

a) MOTM kits are finally shipping! I will be sending out notices here in a few
minutes to orders that went out last week. Many more will go out the next 2-3
weeks, until we run out of pots. We are still waiting for front panels
(MOTM-700s mainly), I expect those to arrive by Friday. MOTM-510s will ship
around the 1st week of October. If you ordered one with ∗other∗ modules, chances
are you will get a split shipment. The switches arrived from the UK (note: they
are now all gray instead of mostly black).

Please email ∗me∗ if there are part issues. Remember, over 45,000 parts were
bagged up, if there is 0.01% error rate that's 4 mistakes. Don't get all mad,
just send me an email :)

b) I am going to ship MOTM modules from my end ('650s/power supplies/VCOs) this
week as well. Last week I cleared out all the CEM orders and spent a LOT of time
ordering parts/paying bills/doing paperwork. The non-glamorous stuff. Quarterly
taxes are also due this week (yipee).

c) progress is being made on the AudioEngine. We have connected up the DAC we
are going to use to the Xilinx development system and successfully generated a
sin/cosine wave. This is not the final output, as there is a decimation FIR
filter in-between the oscillators and the DAC. This is what is being worked on
now. I also got samples of the high-speed 16MB FLASH memory that will allow the
wavetable VCO (cough) to have 64 voices, each voice is selected from 1024
different wavetables. All at a 48Khz sample rate, 16bit resolution. Maybe I'll
make a Korg Wavestation A/D module :) Voltage-controlled, of course.
