MOTM

Hi guys.

My name is Rob and Im a modular addict.......

Just wanted to say hello to the list and introduce myself. I've been 
monitoring the list for about a month now. I just finished assembling my 
first modules!!!! A 900 (OK I know that one doesn't really count), 800, 420 
and 320. I have a 440 waiting my attention too, but I need a break. 

Paul Schreiber rocks. I love these modules. The sounds are great and they 
feel great and Im preaching to the converted and you all know this. I read on 
one of the archieves for this list or maybe analog heaven where someone said 
if Paul and the guy who writes the Roland manuals ever shook hands, they'ld 
both explode or something. Personally, I think much scientific knowledge 
could be gained from the black hole that would occur from such polar 
oppisites coming in contact with another.

I have done almost nothing before as far as soldering and DIY are concerned 
and I was able to follow all of this quite well. No destruction of property 
or bodily harm! 

I also want to thank the group collectively known as the Stooges. The support 
you guys add to Paul's only enhances the attractiveness of using this system. 
I did send David Bradley an email a few weeks back, before I ordered 
anything, which he answered me in detail. Thanks. Not sure why I didn't send 
Larry Hendry a message when I was checking everything out, but I just want to 
say thanks to you too. I intend to build your interval switcher modules in 
the relatively near future. 

My short term goal has been to assemble a small mono modular and work my way 
from there. Im not sure if I am about to order 2 VCOs or 1 VCO and a VC lag. 
(as well as a 101, another 800, probably a multiple and 110. Im leaning 
towards 2 VCOs. VC Lag and some other goodies can come later.

Just how hard are the 300s to assemble?

Anyway, just to let you all know Im in Jersey City, NJ. Thats the other NJ 
(hablamos espanol), no cameros, no women with big hair named Donna, no 
turnpike exits (Alright, all of that is here...but this isn't Bon Jovi's or 
Springsteen's or Tony Soprano's Jersey). The yuppies live further from me and 
closer to the Hudson river where they can see the world trade center  
glistening overthe Hudson. (For the Brooklyn guys: I was in the East Village 
for a while, but they exiled me for my radical political beliefs)

Are there any users in South America on this list? Eu falo um poco de 
portuguese. I travel to Brazil and/or Argentina once a year or so. 

And for the record, I will pledge my support for Budwieser...but you can 
frequently catch me drinking Bass.

I will now chime in at will.
