Re: [motm] Comments from the rants (long)

i got into MOTM for related reasons - (1) nice big solid rolls-royce 
form factor (2) commitment to quality (3) kits. i attribute all the 
confidence i now have building stuff to the help i received from 
Charles and Paul and the MOTM community in general.

as for what i'd be interested in buying in the future -

- crazy new oscillator types courtesy AE. i always find analogue FM 
awkward to manage somehow (especially since i no longer have a ZO... 
sniff) and the 520 or a related module would make it a lot of fun. 
btw i did find it a little weird that the E340 thing arrived out of 
the blue and pushed the 520 out.

- i'm always looking out for different filters. i always thought it 
weird that only Doepfer made a 303 filter module (the discontinued 
Oakley Superladder diode variant notwithstanding). it would have fit 
nicely in the MOTM range which is mostly vintage clones.

- a real MOTM sequencer. a Moog 960 with the best of both worlds - 
analogue interface with digital assist for memories, MIDI maybe, 
etc...

not that i can currently afford anything! :-S
