MOTM

I think a collaboration between Paul and John Blacet could be a very good 
thing since John has some interesting ideas. One of my favorite homebrew 
modules a friend had made was the Event Arranger portion of a Blacet product 
from 20 years ago which also contained a VC Clock -- I believe the Synapse 
article is up on his website. The Event Arranger outputs several trigger and 
gate patterns (user programmed from a bunch of switches) from a single clock 
source. It was useful for synchronizing several sequencers and similar clock 
related modules like the up/down and reset inputs as well as gated VCAs for 
drones. 

I similarly like the Blacet Frequency Divider which allows for very long 
division periods (up to 4096), I also like the Divide by 1.5 (which results 
in a note a perfect fourth below the input) control which adds a very full 
sound. 

I too have a Dark Star Chaos, and a couple of the DSC PCBs, so I might be 
interested in a MOTM front panel or two if these were available. 
Unfortunately I'm not as impressed with this module as others seem to be. It 
can make interesting noises as described by John on his website, but it 
really isn't very versatile and differs substantially from what I've seen so 
far with MOTM.

Dave, I'd like to see your mod for VCA/D, this might make me happier with the 
module in general.

PS. Joe's MOTM system looks great -- I'm completely envious!
