I confused more people than I planned, so I will try again :)

a) the 'Special Edition' is for the EURO E350 Morphing Terrarium, NOT the
MOTM-350 version

b) yes, there still is a MOTM-350. Everyone is going to have to remember
differences between modules that start with E and those that start with MOTM
(shrug).

c) no, the 'real' MOTM-350 is not "going to look like" the Special Edition.
This is nothing more than an ∗adapter panel∗. I replace the Euro panel with
this panel and wire up the 2 option switches and the 8 1/4" jacks. This is a
1-time Front Panel Express 2U wide panel I am making up "just for fun". BTW:
the panel is 0.100 thick not 0.125 due to space issues.

d) yes, you can buy the "guts" for the 2 main boards without the 3.5mm jack
boards if you want a BrideChamber, Modcan or Buchla panel made elsewhere.
Contact me off-list for details.

e) yes, the E350 and the Special Edition can plug into a MOTM-900 4-pin
connector. There is an on-board 3.3V regulator.

f) no, the MOTM-350 will not use a 4-pin connector because of too much
current draw off +15V. The MOTM-350 will require the 6-pin, MOTM-950 type
power supply (same as the '650 and the '730).

g) yes, the MOTM-350 has many more features, longer wavetables and better
sound quality. But it is 4-6 months away and ~ $90 more. So, this is like a
'teaser' for the 'real thing'. Like a movie trailer :)

h) no, the MOTM-350 is not multi-colored with German warning signs. It's
just like any other standard, boring MOTM module. The RR Edition has the
knobs "bunched up" because that's the Euro spacing (ack).

I would like to order the panels by Wed Dec. 30th.
