MOTM

I agree with all of your points, Richard!

To Argitoth (OP), I think you could not go wrong with the MOTM-300 /
MOTM-310 oscillators! They sound fantastic and are very stable! As an
alternative I've read a lot of good things about the Oakley VCO's but I
haven't tried one. So, just get a few of the ones mentioned above and move
ahead with your synth, any exercises in analysis/comparison will just be a
waste of your time IMHO . . .unless you are mainly interested in
analysis/comparison exercises instead of making music? (Nothing wrong with
that, just sayin' . . .)

Subject: [motm] Comparing VCO modules by recording

A recent (unsigned) post asked for WAV files of MOTM VCO outputs, 
presumably for comparison with other VCO makes.  I would be interested 
to know whether anyone thinks that recordings suit this purpose very 
well.  Problems would surely dog this approach, vs. actually having the 
modules side-by-side in the same system and doing A-B listening tests.

The files being compared could have been produced with different 
sampling rates.  The recording levels most likely would have been 
different.  The psycho-acoustic effects of simply playing back the 
*same* recording at different levels of amplification can be 
significant.  If it is indeed reasonable to make comparisons this way, 
it seems to me that the recordings being compared would all have to have 
been made in the same studio with all parameters kept as equal as 
possible (as when Paul S. posts samples of different sounds for 
comparison).  Thoughts?

Thanks,
