MOTM

to Everyone: I have a really good MP3 encoder here. Send WAV files on CD-R
and I can
encode them no problem. Or on a ZIP disk. 16-bit stereo, 44.1Khz sample
rate.

Also:

a) investigating color-coded (by length) custom, *high-end* patch cords.
About $15-$20 ea, but
we are talking Mogami cable/Neutrik plugs. These pups will last 30 years. I
don't expect
to hear back until 2-3 weeks (these folks are s*l*o*w). I will try to get
the best deal I can.

b) Orders received this week by Wed PM will be shippped this week, else no
shipments until Aug. 10th.

c) thought I could get the '410 pcb out by this week but no way. Have to do
a zillion
other things. And the cat barfed all over the new carpet. AND it was 104
degrees all day.

d) I bought 500 LM13600AN chips so no need to worry about our favorite OTA
running out!!
(this OTA is the main reason the '420 sounds the way it does. NOT used in
the upcoming '410.
But will appear later on.........<grin>).

e) I need to re-tool the '800 EG pcb. and I will add a 555 one-shot for ADSR
with Gate. This is
more predictable than the tap off Q1 collector. I will also add a little
circuit to increase max. attack time
20% and to increase the pot holes so they aren't TOO tight.
