Modular Synth Panels

Hi, All -

We're about to ask Scott Deyo to make up a 490R panel for us. It's
according to our design which includes an extra switch to accomodate a
little twist on the Richard Brewster 480 modification. You can see
our idea and the panel design at:

http://www.dragonflyalley.com/motm480Construction.htm

How about posting here if you also have any interest in the panel?

Thanks much,

Bill and Will

I'll want one : )

I love that Paul is selling just PCBs now. We can pimp all his stuff.
Dragonfly + Pimp = Drimp your MOTM
or
Brewster + Pimp = Brimp my module!

OK, I'll stop.

But I've been coming across Richard's mods and stuff in Electronotes
lately -- cool stuff, Richard!

Do mean 480R?? Or is this a panel for the MOTM Moog filter??

Also, your website reads "This is the 320 front panel without the RB
modifications" but shows a 480 panel.

Oh - yeah, Mark - thanks for finding the typo - should have been 480,
not 320. And It's a MOTM480 filter modified per Richard Brewster with
that extra switch in there. Bill

not to flog this horse any more, but the page also prominently
mentions the MOTM-4800

:-)

title too. Bill

Glad to see Will and Bill are brave enough to do this one. Nice twist
with the Join/Separate switch. I could have added normalized
connections between the control inputs on mine. The reason I didn't is
that I have found that, without panel indications, I tend to forget the
normalized connections are there and I end up being a little puzzled at
what's happening!

A panel alternative to FPE would help this project! The FPE prices just
keep going up and up.

Electronotes is a great reference. I was a subscriber in the seventies
You might find my mini-article in EN describing how to "warp" the taper
of a linear pot. I also had a small blurb about a sync circuit for one
of the VCO's. EN is good general reading, especially for insomniacs.
There was a series of interviews with Bob Moog for example.

Yes, I found both of those articles -- same issue, weren't they?
That's cool.

Electronotes is indeed a great read -- all stacked three feet of it! : )

You know - that's a great point about the normalized inputs.
Remembering about them may not be an issue for Will's 16yr old brain,
but it's sure to be for me <G>. I'll talk to him about leaving those
off. Bill

Some normalizations can be very useful, like the connections to the IN,
CLOCK IN, and OUT on the S&H in my Wogglebug:

http://pugix.com/synth/diy-wiard-wogglebug/

Another good use for normaling of CV inputs is for the Attack, Decay,
Release times on a VC envelope generator like the Oakley, so that one
input to the Attack VC propagates to the other parameters.

http://pugix.com/synth/oakley-sound-systems-full-vc-adsrvca/

One that did not work so great was my mod to the MOTM-390 dual LFO to
normal the TRI output of the first to the VC input of the second. I
tended to forget that just turning up the FM pot would introduce
weirdness. Confusing if you forget about it.

http://pugix.com/synth/motm-390-micro-lfo/

The Stooge format Oakley Multimix can get the royal normalizing
treatment, as described here:

http://www.tellun.com/motm/mods/oms902/oms902.html

My Multimixes use that. It can be confusing at times, when you patch
something to Input #1 and then all three pots route that signal with
optional inversion to the MIX out. But in this case I'll take the
possible confusion for the benefits. Fortunately, it easy to undo a
normal connection that you don't like: All it takes is a pair of
diagonal cutters!
