Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

First, thanks to Larry for the URL for the AHMW gathering pix; it looked like
great fun to me (I've seen Forbidden Planet a whole bunch of times, and I DO
hear Theremin type sounds, though not the more cliche sci fi sounds -- what do
you guys think?).

Secondly, I fully agree with Dave's proposition about scaling VCOs. But I do
want to add a couple of thoughts. It is a VERY tedious process, and somewhat
maddening to have one pitch droning on for such a long time. And I've often
found it very difficult to "hit that right spot" on the trimmer, and this
increases the maddening effect (I suspect the MOTM trimmers will be MUCH
EASIER to adjust to the right spec., just comparing the previous MOTM modules
to their counterparts in non MOTM equipment). I also seem to remember Paul
saying that these VCOs will track over something like 13 octaves(!!!!!!); well
I'll have to HEAR it to believe it. But all seriousness aside folks, you would
need some extra audio calibration. I BTW find it hard enough to get VCOs to
track over the five octave range, but I never seem to think it is not close
enough.
