WOW! Suddenly a lot of traffic! Just like the "old days!"

As a  very early customer of Paul's (I would guess that I am amongst the 
first to  buy his products) I've never been particularly bothered by the way 
things have  gone with MOTM.  Probably because being around from the 
beginning I had  very few expectations.  The module offering has been beyond what 
was  every expected initially.  I guess it is all a matter of  perspective.

 
 
I too was a very early (pre-MOTM) customer of Paul's. I've had a few minor  
differences of opinion with him, but have generally been extremely happy 
with  how it's gone in total! 
 
I've had to take a bit of a break from MOTM (and modulars) over the past  
few years, but I do have about $1000 in outstanding orders from Paul from a  
couple of months back. I was waiting for those to be delivered before 
ordering  any more (like the 730); maybe they are a bit farther out than I thought 
they  were, and I can order some stuff in the meantime.

Vote  against: any more filters


 
I agree here, there are a *wide range* of filters already available.

Speaking by me, 
I'll buy almost any new module because I like to have  them all but looking 
at the MOTM catalogue there are some missing stuff,  mainly control 
modules, quantizers, sequencers, voltage processors  

 


I agree about more control voltage generators and processors!
 
 


The new digital stuff is also very interesting and I  can't wait for the CG 
or the wave table oscillator. 
 


 
I agree with these as well.

Stereo/Panning VCAs and VC (complex) envelopes.  Bunches of  them.

John Loffink
 
Yes, these too!

So, here  is you chance to tell me what *exactly* you would buy, fully 
assembled in  SMT glory.

I'm all ears. Analog, digital, optical,  whatever.

I always thought you should change the kits from a bunch of parts and a  
board to being a pre-assembled board (SMT?) and all the front panel parts,  
but that's just me. I don't think the price differential is between the kits 
and  assembled modules is that much of a detriment to people buying; it's 
more a  matter of them "liking" the work of assembling the kits in the "old 
days."
 
I'm interested in buying analog modules for doing analog kinds of things,  
and digital modules for doing digital kinds of things (as opposed to 
modeling an  analog operation). So I can imagine VC digital modules which would 
produce  complex pulse patterns, and other digital modules which would produce 
audio  outputs (for example: a VC digital wave generator/oscillator/sampler 
similar to  the MiniWave); especially if there were useful apps which one 
could use to  program/drive it with from a usb port. I was also impressed when 
I ran into the  following MOTU module several months ago:
 
_http://quadslope.com/blog/?p=250_ (http://quadslope.com/blog/?p=250) 
 
(see especially the second youtube clip; it makes a DUSG a useful musical  
VCO which it really isn't)
 
It would be interesting to see MOTM pick up on some sort of digital/analog  
hybrid the way the Buchlas were 20 to 30 years ago; this time really coming 
up  with a solid basic foundation of modules (you've already got that 
pretty well  defined on the analog side).
 
Just my thoughts!
