Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

I/ve written here before that I don't have an integrated case setup for
my modular. Rather, I've divided it into "function blocks". Each
block is
about 10U worth of MOTM wide (less if I mix in wider modules like Dotcom
or Cynthia), and each has its own power supply and AC line cord.
The blocks can be combined or split up and moved around the room as
needed (hence the "Discombobulator"). I try to have at least one signal
source, one control source, and one signal modifier in each block, and
in general there is a left-to-right flow across the block if
"conventional"
patching is used. As an example, I've got one block with a space
reserved
for a Miniwave of some sort, a MOTM-320 VCO, a MOTM-101 S/H,
a space reserved for a VCA, an MOTM-890 mixer, and a Cynthia
StereoSpace. Another block has a Dotcom Q130 clipper, a MOTM-510
WaveWarper, three different filters, and an MOTM-890 mixer. Currently
I have three blocks built, and I'm about to assemble a fourth as soon
as I get the power supplies ordered. I'm also in the process of putting
tops on them so I can stack them (right now they're open from all
directions
except the front and bottom).
