MOTM

Wow! I went on vacation for ten days and missed the most active MOTM
discussion in years!! I think there were a couple of hundred emails in
my "Inbox" when I got back, most of them from this list! Sorry I missed
the flurry of activity, and the 'voting'!

Anyway, personally I think the idea of posting videos like this is a
very good one. I find video clips vastly more useful than audio clips,
because much of a tool's usefulness is in HOW it is used, not just the
end result.

MP3 files are fine, but it's almost like trying to sell a
Biscuit-Joining tool by showing a photo of a finished dining room table.
My reaction would be like, "Okay, sure, nice table, but how did you GET
there? What was it LIKE using the tool?"

When you're trying to demo a synthesizer module, just playing an audio
clip usually leaves me kind of shrugging, and I guess I'm left to either
vote thumbs-up or -down on whether or not I 'like the sound.' The real
question is, "how would I use this?' and audio files -- for me -- seldom
answer that question. Video is a much better tool for that.

It's a MP4, ~33MB. Will have a YouTube version in a day or so. But you
can 
look here in the meantime :)
