i got into MOTM for related reasons - (1) nice big solid rolls-royce
form factor (2) commitment to quality (3) kits. i attribute all the
confidence i now have building stuff to the help i received from
Charles and Paul and the MOTM community in general.
as for what i'd be interested in buying in the future -
- crazy new oscillator types courtesy AE. i always find analogue FM
awkward to manage somehow (especially since i no longer have a ZO...
sniff) and the 520 or a related module would make it a lot of fun.
btw i did find it a little weird that the E340 thing arrived out of
the blue and pushed the 520 out.
- i'm always looking out for different filters. i always thought it
weird that only Doepfer made a 303 filter module (the discontinued
Oakley Superladder diode variant notwithstanding). it would have fit
nicely in the MOTM range which is mostly vintage clones.
- a real MOTM sequencer. a Moog 960 with the best of both worlds -
analogue interface with digital assist for memories, MIDI maybe,
etc...
not that i can currently afford anything! :-S
