Re: [motm] Module choice - second VCO or second EG.

2004-07-11 by Richard Brewster

Dave,

I'm a little confused by the choice of a VCO vs. EG.  The 310 VCO costs 
almost twice as much as the 800 EG, and their functions are very 
different.  I don't know what you already have, but if you now own a 
VCO, a VCF, a VCA and an EG, a second EG would be a good addition.  You 
can put one EG on the VCF and the other on the VCA.  Get another 
MOTM-800 first.  Then after that I would look at the MOTM-320 LFO, which 
can do double duty as a VCO, and which also can drive the hard sync on 
the MOTM-300 you presumably have (and modulate the 300 PWM input too).
