>>>Could you enlighten us as to what modules you converted over from these other formats to MOTM? This is news to me.--Greg
Converting other modules to MOTM format was all the rage a decade ago. For me it started with finding old Moog, Roland &c schematics on the web and trying to build MOTM-style versions of them. This led to a long series of emails between J. Larry Hendry and me about converting a couple of PAIA and three Blacet Research modules in particular – the Klangwerk, Dark Star, and the divider. Larry and I worked out a few little extras for these (a switch here, an LED or extra output there), and worked out different ways of making our own front panels. Sometime later, Larry & “The Stooges” turned this into a cottage industry, and now of course you can get much better panels from Bridechamber than we were making by spray-gluing paper to metal back in the day. I used to have a tutorial of how to do this on my old website, but once people started ‘organizing’ and having panels professionally silk-screened, I dropped that method and of jumped on board with the better panels for sure.
There are still lots of folks on this list who have fantastic stuff on their websites showing how they expanded their MOTM systems way beyond the official offerings. This is not a complete list and is in no particular order, but if you’re interested:
