Modular Synth Panels

I agree, although the original Tau Phaser had two leds, spaced apart
so they would flash back and forth.  In the case of the MOTM-320,
having two colors is practical because it can oscillate so slowly
that there would not be any indication while the led was off.  Also,
if you set it to saw, it will remind you that the saw output only
goes negative if the shape knob is turned one way or the other.

I did not use MOTM-style leds in either of my Blacet conversions,
although I did add MOTM-style leds to my 800's -- which made a huge
improvement -- but would have worked just as well if I used some
other led.

If it's not too inconvenient, could you please measure how much
current the module is drawing??  I'm still trying to figure out how
big a transformer I will need.
