Is he aware of the MOTM? I showcased the MOTM at the last CEM meeting with
great success, but Jack wasn't there. I am sure he would have been
interested.

todd,
yeah, jack is a great guy. he`s written some amazing software over the years.
as to motm, well, when i last talked to him ( a couple of months back) he
seems to have stopped using modular stuff in favor of an all midi setup. felt
he had greater repeatability and control. i`m not sure i agree with him but
to each his own.
way back in the dark ages he did some fantastic stuff in 6502 assembler for
the paia microprocessor / keyboard combo that was mind boggling. at the time,
he had it hooked up to a s∗∗∗∗∗. my setup at the time was like his, micro /
kybd and s∗∗∗∗ modular. in my case, health and life crisises forced me to
sell my modular ( at least to another good friend and fantastic synthesist,
john wiggins ). after feeling the terrible loss for too long and after a
struggle to get back to some stability, i`m once again a modular person.
hurray! sadly, at the moment, not motm but i`m hoping to add a couple of motm
modules to my machine in the new year as there are some places where i see
they could be a strong addition. i was pointed to this list by a collaborator
of pauls who told me there was some interesting stuff going on here. he was
right and if nothing else, i find myself stimulated by the modular oriented (
well, mostly..... ) discussions here. for me, it promotes thinking and thats
always a good thing!
best,
dave
