Re: MOTM-300 Question

2000-01-26 by J. Larry Hendry

If you built a 320, you will do fine with a 300 in my opinion.  The
tracking takes a while to adjust.  No scope required for that.  A good ear
to hear beating, something to compare it to, and patience will be your best
tools.  I found it was easier to do two at once that one at a time. 
However, I am now building my third, so I expect I might need to go back
and tweak # 1 and 2 while adjusting # 3.  I found that nothing I own is
perfectly in tune when tracking up and down the keyboard.  Not even the
digital stuff.

I agree with you 100% on the 320 LED.  I was too pleasantly surprised.  The
extra dollars for that puppy on the LFO was worth every penny.  Too cool.
