MOTM

Just finished the first 420 and tried it out today.  As everyone else has
said, *WOW*.  I think my ears are bleeding.  I found it actually more
powerful as a high-pass than a low-pass filter, although maybe I just
haven't figured out how to use the low-pass mode yet.  I have a couple
patches to submit, nothing special:

CHEESY TECHNO PATCH
Requires:  100 110 120 300x2 420 800x2 940 and a MIDI/CV (I have a PAiA
9700).  An arpeggiator is nice - I used a Yamaha AN1x.  This one sounds
like a bass patch but scales well to the upper octaves too.

Setup: (Parameters not mentioned are not relevant.)
100  - OUT into 800a TRIG (Larry's LFO dodge)
       SPEED 9.0; HOLD
110  - CV from 940 mult b (800b + OUT); IN from 420 OUT;
       VCA OUT into mixer
       CV MOD 10.0; GAIN 0
120  - A IN from 300a SAW; B IN from 300b SAW; OUTPUT into 420 IN 1
       A IN 7.1; B IN 9.8; MIX A NORM; MIX B NORM; MODE CROSS
       SUB 1 6.5; SUB 2 7.7; SUB 3 3.3; SUB 4 2.8
300a - 1V/OCT from 940 mult a (MIDI/CV pitch out); FM1 from 940 mult b
       (800b + OUT); SAW into 120 A IN
       COARSE/FINE tuned 1 octave above true; FM1 LIN, DC, 0.4
300b - 1V/OCT from 940 mult a (MIDI/CV pitch out); FM2 from 800a + OUT;
       SAW into 120 B IN
       COARSE/FINE tuned true and detuned a bit; FM2 0.2
420  - 1V/OCT from 940 mult a (MIDI/CV pitch out); FM1 from 940 mult b
       (800b + OUT); IN 1 from 120 OUTPUT; OUT into 110 IN
       FREQ 3.8; FM1 -2.2; MODE HP; RES 6.6; IN 1 10.0
800a - TRIG from 100 OUT; + OUT into 300b FM2
       ATTACK 2.7; DECAY 2.7
800b - GATE from MIDI/CV gate out; TRIG from MIDI/CV trigger out;
       + OUT into 940 mult b
       ATTACK 1.4; DECAY 3.3; SUSTAIN 5.9; RELEASE 1.8
940  - mult a carries 1V/oct; mult b carries 800b + OUT

INDUSTRIAL VOCAL PATCH
Requires:  110 120 300 and a MIDI/CV

Setup: (Parameters not mentioned are not relevant.)
110  - X IN from mic preamp (a mixer post-preamp channel insert);
       Y IN from 300 SINE; RING MOD OUT into 120 A IN
       UNBAL 0.0; X AC; Y AC; X LEVEL 10.0; Y LEVEL 5.0
120  - A IN from 110 RING MOD OUT; OUTPUT into mixer
       A IN 10.0; MIX A NORM; MODE SUB; SUB 1 1.3; SUB 2 2.3;
       SUB 3 0.7; SUB 4 0.5
300  - 1V/OCT from MIDI/CV pitch out; SINE into 110 Y IN
       COARSE/FINE tuned true

Demo files for both these patches are recorded and I will submit them to
Paul as soon as I figure out how to use my roommate's mp3 encoder.

The biggest problem with MOTM is, I'm losing the ability to enjoy my AN1x.
It sounds pretty good for DSP-analog, but it's just not in the same league
as MOTM.  Oh well, 10 notes polyphony takes up a lot of wall rack.  :)

peace,
Chris
