MOTM

Since my son stole my copy of Dungeon Siege (great new computer game), I'll take this time form
an update.

a) I will have all '380 kit orders shipped by next week. I ran out of bubble bags, and they are
"special order". Got plenty now, have 10 kits ready to go as we speak. I also have 3 assembled
ones ready to ship next week as well.

b) the '490 ladder filter pcb are in fab. They will arrive around June 3rd. I will start kitting
at arrival time.

c) the '390 uLFO boards are here, just waiting for Stooge brackets. Looking like June 5th or so
arrival date. Looks like early June is a busy time.

d) the new 1U wide dual VCA with RM is designed. I have to lay it out. This won't start for
another 10 days or so. I have to do the front panels anyway. I'll send info to Moe for discussion
(not much to discuss, really).

e) the '480 VCF is still out there, looks like July. I want the '130 to come out first (high-end
VCA).

f) 1/2 way through this quarter (April/May/June) I have shipped 145 modules, which is where I was
last quarter (Jan/Feb/March). I am way behind in assembled modules :(  I need to concentrate the
next 10 days or so on that issue versus kits. I'm out/low on several kits (320, 410, 800, 420,
700) and need to get those restocked as well. Never a dull moment.

g) If you want a section of your '380 to run "super slow", replace the cap with 0.33uf, Digikey
part #P4669. This might be best on say sections A and B, keeping C and D "normal". It "slides"
the frequency range down 3.3X slower.

h) As a "pat on the back" to myself, customer #300 has appeared! The interesting stat is that for
the last 2 years, the module-to-customer ratio has been steady at 11.25, even with some
mega-systems (60+ modules). It goes to show that the average person doesn't NEED a mega-system to
be happy with the MOTM system. Or, the average wife/girlfriend puts on the brakes at 2 full rows.

Well, looks like son won't give up the CD until he passes out from hunger. Guess I'll go solder
some :)
