Yeah Man,
preach on my keyboard using brother!!! Some people on the list tought
modular as being the most flexible with other controllers and this is true.
But the western scale does not just come out of that many different thing
besides a keyboard you know what I'm saying. For us guys who write and play
harmonies or musical lines with our MOTM, we could use a module separate
from the VCO with this function just as Nathan descibes. No one ever said
anything about altering the 300 VCO! Give us a break cause we are merely
trying to add ideas to the spectrum of MOTM.
