Re: [motm] Has anyone used these modules?

2004-02-11 by Tobias Machine Head

I\u2019m back from the future now (check the date =)

Thanks everybody for insightful comments.

Marc (and MOTMers),
What other white modules do you have (any pictures?)? I definitely want to get a healthy set of the ASC modules, but I wonder if I can fill a whole new cabinet with white. Also, any ideas for mounting the sequencer (19inch) in a 12u MOTM cabinet?
Obviously function comes before form and looks, but it would be really awesome to have two identical cabinets in two different colors.

here\u2019s a pic of my current MOTM rig

Hi Tobias and MOTM group,

I think ACS module are really made for experimental use ! I think specialy
tabout the SSI feature of their TM116 sequencer directly herited from the
Serge, to make very complex sequences .

I had the same "problem" with color, but finaly i found a way to solve this: i
have now a black cabinet for MOTM modules and cheaffer panels , and a "white
cabinet" also to contain ACS modules and other control modules...It is Yin and
Yang = Zen modular synth . But it look good !

Bananas are great for logic signals like triggers and gates : you can stack
them and they ar very reliable too. from my experience i will stay with bananas
for all "logic " signals , converting to jacks only when required...

I get a 1U Patch panel from ACS ( white color) to perform Jack to bananas
conversion and multi jack too. This item is not listed on their site , but if
you ask for they can provide ...


Best regards
