WOW!!! You go away for a few days and all kinds of stuff happens on the list! It’s good to see that a lot of the “old guys” like me are still kicking.
When I checked the list last week, the “remembering Larry Hendry” messages brought back a lot of memories from the early days of MOTM. If it weren’t for Paul and Larry, I don’t think I would have ever gotten into the DIY thing. While I really enjoyed building the kits, it was the MOTM quality and 5U form factor that really made my mind up for me. Unlike some of the oldsters, I don’t care if new MOTM modules are pre-assembled SMT and come out with pink faces and purple lettering…it’s about the sound, not the looks. As long as it’s MOTM and 5U, I will purchase at least 2 of every fully-analog module and at least 1 of every analog-digital hybrid module.
As far as future modules go, I would love to see some of the “previously talked about” modules come into production. In particular, a fixed filter bank, a sequencer, a VC panner, and an input module with preamp/envelope follower/gate extractor would all get me to part with more money. I KNOW…I KNOW…I KNOW…other companies already make these modules in 5U! These other companies also make oscillators, filters, envelope generators, etc…but they are not MOTM! I trust MOTM quality and will always purchase Paul’s stuff over everybody else’s. Don’t get me wrong…my system has a good smattering of Oakley and Blacet and Stooge modules, but they are only one’s that I can’t get from SynthTech.
Some of us old guys are still around…and if this hurricane season leaves Louisiana alone, we’ll be here for a while longer. Keep the posts coming!

A lot of people have moved over to Muffwiggler. Peake posts there, although not as over-the-top as years past.
I think the 2008-2009 economic hardship forced many folks to sell off or mothball their gear. And also "life gets in the way"
as this is what happened to me (now raising my 2yr old grandson and having 3 jobs in 2 years).

> From: RitchieSpeaking of old guys on the list, or more appropriately, long time members of the list, just yesterday I was thinking of a lot of names that I haven't seen a post from in years either on this list or Analog Heaven. Made me wonder if they're still alive. I was wondering what happened to Andrew Sanchez for instance. Last post 2010 on AH. John Mahoney bought my Deltalab Effectron, seems to have disappeared. Les Mizzell disappeared though I had seen some him post on a couple of other lists, but even there, it's been a while. Carbon111, disappeared into the non existence. Mike Peake, erratic behavior an errant post or two, then no more. Unknown Freak is now Unseen Freak, though I did track down his website and maybe he's just busy scoring TV shows and not dead.
