(sorry all not sure i understand how these group message work sometime i answer to one person sometime to everybody sure that's because i'm french :P)

paul about the "all notes off"
sure the M650 is a receiver but on live when a note is held (because sequencer problem for exemple) you can sometime solve it without stopping the sequencer by pressing a panic button directly on the synth that is held.
for exemple LIVE (ableton) sends all notes off when clic on stop button.. but when on live this is a big problem !
i have an omega8 (studioeletronics) there's is a panic button on the panel that you can press in such cases and it helps alot !

well that's just an idea becasue i do lots of live with gears on stage (no need to answer this post ;)

a) Shane the tech dropped off MOTM-410 assembled pc boards. I will start
finishing them up starting Saturday. He is starting on MOTM-300 VCO boards
tomorrow.

b) I am running 8 days behind schedule due to many factors, including school
starts tomorrow (buy supplies, new shoes, the whole drill) and getting
fitted for 2 pair of hi-tech glasses (one pair cost $944) so I can correct
some nagging vision issues. Many orders will ship out this week that should
have shipped last week. I have 3 repairs that I need to work on this week as
well.

c) all the front panels have arrived! Including "old school", Polane-painted
MOTM-700 panels. I'm going to work on assembled modules all this week, but
starting the following week will spend more time on the kits. I need these
things out of the way, for one :) I need to start preparing for E340 & E350
module shipping to Analog Haven in early October and I need the floor space.
The E340 mini-Cloud front panels are due to arrive here Thursday.

d) speaking of E340/350: I have finished 2 of the 3 pc boards in the set and
have sent off for prototype boards. I'm starting on the DSP board layout
tomorrow, will send ~ 1 hour/day on it until it's finished. Revenue form
these 2 modules will enable both the MOTM-520/521 and the MOTM-600 to be
funded to go into production later on. The '600 will be a limited run of
around 55 modules. I hope to sell that may MOTM-520/521s as well.

e) Shipping MOTM module #8400 tomorrow (not counting Frac stuff). I have
shipped 200 modules in 2009, all but ~ 12 of these assembled by me/Shane. So
I'm averaging 1 module a day, every day for 8 full months going out the
door. That's a lot of soldering :) Maybe that's why I need the fancy
specs........
