MOTM

I'd be willing to put a deposit towards r&d on this project, however what
is the final price goal? Last I heard was around $1200? (my memory is not
very good) Add $500 worth of patch points and we're nearing $2000. I
believe in MOTM and that Paul can build the king of all vocoders, I just
want to make sure that we don't decide to build a huge, feature rich module
(or modules) that would'nt be realistic for most of us to own. I'm trying
to consider it from Paul's perspective. The only analog vocoder I know of
in production today is the SKY Vocoder, it's a 12 band analog vocoder with
a built in patchable triangle wave osc., it retails for $750 and from what
I understand, it's a big seller. I'd love to see MOTM's vocoder packed with
features, but lets try to  keep the price in a somewhat reasonable level so
we can attract new customers to the MOTM "family"  Just a thought... -Nate


PS:  even if this does become the $2000 MOTM vocoder, I'll probably find
the $$$ to buy one anyway. Food and shelter aren't that important :)
