FS MOTM 440 built in Dotcom format

2007-04-16 by tartarboy

i only have 2 left!

I rather like the MOTM 440 filter so i bought some
PCBs from Paul and built them up in Dotcom format.
These are real MOTM filters with a Dotcom faceplate.
Taken from MOTMs site: You have probably heard of the
SSM2040 filter chip, used in the Prophet 5 Rev. 2
synth, the Voyetra 8, and others. Although
short-lived, the SSM2040 filter had a unique sound
different from a Moog, ARP or other 4-pole lowpass.
Why? The design used a clever discrete OTA gain cell.

The MOTM-440 offers an updated SSM2040 architecture
using matched NPN/PNP pairs and features a switch that
adds a second audio feedback path to boost bass
response at higher Q levels. This makes the filter
"growl and rumble" even more! In addition,
voltage-controlled Q allows for more sweeping effects.
Three audio inputs and three CV inputs make the
MOTM-440 the killer lowpass filter in your system. The
internal gain structure is such that over-driving the
filter is now possible (unlike the Prophet 5) to get
even more nasty sounds. Did we mention it
self-oscillates at high Q?

All filters are already made (so no wait) and have
been tested. They are actual MOTM filters but will work in a dotcom PS and system. The 
faceplate, knobs and power are the same as all dotcom modules. The 440 is one of my 
favorite filters and
it looks nice in the system. They are 325.00ea If you
want photos or questions email me.

Thanks,
Josh
