Re: [motm] Re: Modcan B series front panels

2007-03-01 by Richard Brewster

I've shied away from Modcan, due to being fully assembled, and the 
different appearance from MOTM.   The audio signals are +/- 2.5V, but 
that shouldn't present much of a problem.  Some of the modules are 
appealing.  I'm getting a Dual Quantizer 55B.  Nothing really 
comparable, elsewhere.

I am waiting for the MOTM-730, but the Modcan Clock 53B is a VC clock 
divider that looks interesting, too.  The VCDO 58B is a very intriguing 
Digital VCO.
