MOTM

Steve,  Welcome to the MOTM community.  I think a simple kit like the quad
LFO is a great starter kit.

Hi! I thought I'd introduce myself, as I've been lurking here for a
while.

Just finished my second motm kit - a quad lfo. It works perfectly,
and was very easy to assemble. Built a power supply earlier - too
easy to mention.

I've got plans for lots more kits, as time and budget allows. I've
also got some dotcom stuff, and some paia kits.

Paul called me up, perplexed, upon getting my original order for the
quad lfo. Strange first order - yup! Did I know what this thing is
for? Did I know it's not a guitar stomp box? Etc. Understandable.
Okay, here's who I am ..... a 40something professional cellist who's
been playing in symphonies all my life. Currently in the Nashville
Symphony. My mom's a composer, and hence my ears got stretched a lot
as I grew up. Growing up happened in the 60's and 70's, in Ithaca,
NY, down the road from Trumansburg. Hence I was around moog stuff
constantly - Robert Moog was just another townie, and I got to see
Mother Mallards Portable Masterpiece Company many times, and they
didn't mind if I came up and fooled with the knobs after their
concerts. Later I attended Oberlin Conservatory, and besides the
cello, took courses in composition and electronic music, and was one
of the first students in the TIMARA program there. Got to play with
the moog and the buchla there. A few of my classmates were building
modulars from serge kits, which was a viable option then, and I
meant to do that someday, but never got around to it. So life goes
by for some years, and I get to beta test a bunch of music software,
and along comes arturia modular. Great piece of gear, but still has
major limitations, and doesn't really have the sound. So I did some
online searching and on a lark bought 3 dotcom modules, and was
looking out for a fun, cheap way to add to them, and there's motm.
So I've got the start of a modular going here!


I think the 101 is the next kit in line. And after that some more
basic stuff. More involved stuff a few months from now. I wish there
was something like a serge Dual Universal Slope Generator available
somewhere - any advice?

Cheers - Steve Drake
