MOTM

Hi all:

So Pauly dropped a bomb.  And you know what I say?  Bomb the boats  
and feed the fish!  ;-)

Here is why I say this:

1.- It's a cool song title by the "Forgotten Rebels", the LEAST synth  
band, EVER.

2.- I have always wanted a high quality modular instrument.  If it's  
discrete transistors behind the panel or thorium flux ion transponder  
doohickeys, I could not care less. Since I use the Nostromo in live  
gigs, the subtleties of analog vs digital are often VERY difficult to  
tell.  But the difference between fiddling the Nostromo live vs.  
fiddling a laptop live is similar IMO to the difference between  
playing a Les Paul and  a MIDI guitar.  (Guitar players will know  
what I'm on aboot here.)

3.- DIY is NOT dead.  You cannot ever kill the DIY ethic.  Those that  
really got the bug, got it and you can't kill it off.  I mean, is  
building a MOTM kit really DIY anyways?  Richard Brewster's S/H  
conversion: now THAT's MOTM DIY!


Another issue: current module resale values are ..... unpredictable.   
I own 2 MOTM 101 S/H modules.  It occurs to me (continuing my glowing  
praise of Richie baby [ he's gonna kill me for that ]) that if I want  
more S/H (and I do) replacing the 101s with a zero-droop digital  
version would be the way to go.  I suspect many would agree.  Which  
means the second the digital module becomes available, the 101 market  
goes to hell.

Power supplies: I currently have 4 SKB cases and 3 run +/-15V and 1  
runs +/-15V and +5V.  I may need to add more +5V supplies.... which  
means the MOTM 990 power connector board essential kit.  NEVER disco  
this baby!

Here endeth the musings,  BFG
  ;-)

PS: This whole thing is a smart idea by MOTM and I am overwhelmingly  
happy (and a litttle surprised) to see how much support the idea has.
