MOTM

Speaking of digital audio, what is the bit depth and sampling rate of the
digital modules that can produce or process audio??

Well, no one is going to come up with a better description than Todd :)

I've monkeyed around with a VC hex oscillator (key word: monkey) based on
the 808 cymbal, and added a "spread" control with a totem pole of voltage
dividers, so I think I have some idea what it does.

However, even after reading Seth's speculative description of the
Wavewarper, I still can't seem to place the third axis in my mind.
Although the notion of a "Z-plane anti-filter" makes some sense, it's hard
to imagine the sound.

I remember reading about the module needing a big selector switch, but the
legend on the bottom left shows root, unity, and power, which being only
three choices could be replaced by a toggle.  So where does the big
selector switch go??

Is the 510 Wavewarper analogue??

>This is a new +5V requirement module, and not a kit (all SMT).

Does this apply to the 600 series as well??

Do we still get schematics in case Paul gets hit by the proverbial bus??
I've always appreciated MOTM for it's excellent educational value.

I also like the idea of partial kits that save Paul time, and us money.

I'm looking forward to the MOTM 600 sequencer and the quantizer that Paul
mentioned.  If I wanted to work with MIDI, why would I be building a CV
modular?? ;)

I like the AS programmable quantizer, but imho, the "best" quantizer would
have at least a couple of CV inputs.  I would like to see CV inputs do
things like change keys, change scales, alter transposition, and restrict
notes.  That's right, the ability for your modulation sources to modulate
in the musical sense of the word!!   Also, since it's impossible to think
of every scale, the ability to store user programmed scales would be a
necessity.

Anyway, I am definitely excited about these 500 modules.  So unless the
"Nest of Envelopes" is for the birds, I plan on getting all five of them :)


Btw, I tried to download the catalog, but it didn't work:
