JK, folks, JK. But just at the moment I have no outstanding
construction projects. The darned thing is bigger than I ever imagined
it could be. There are eight 2U slots left to fill and I will add more
MOTM modules as they come out. My plan now is to spend more time
discovering sounds. There is that MIDI thing (aka MOTM-650) to figure
out. There are two Blacet Miniwaves with 10 ROMS in each to explore.
There is something called a MOTM-510. There is a CGS Bi-N-Tic filter.
And O, that ZerOscillator. I have yet to fully grok my Blacet Time
Machines and the Encore Frequency Shifter, and I am fuzzy on how to make
good use of voltage controlled envelope generators (I have three
kinds). It's time for listening and learning. Just today I was
comparing the sounds of all the VCF's I've got. It is quite a study. I
know all these modules in theory. In practice it is a different matter
altogether.
