MOTM

Hello again,

Thanks for the reply and interesting views about the MOTM. I see my modular 
as a versatile tool for all sides of studio production. It provides me with 
individual processing, not just synth sounds, module at a time or in long 
and complicated patches. You said:

Save the power of your MOTM for the more expressive
>and experimental stuff.

But I say use my modular to replace all of my other synths who cannot 
produce the buttery smooth sounds and leads as good as the MOTM as well as 
use it for the outer limits stuff. It is a master machine and I hope to use 
it in places where people won't know its the MOTM sometimes. Then my friends 
will go... "I didn't know you had a prophet 5 or a mini moog or an ms-20!" 
But all the time it will be my MOTM. And NOT a dyiong 30 year old drifting 
and noisy beast from the time I was born. Ha!

Tony will most likely not be using the standard Spectrol or Bourns pots Paul 
uses is such a small space so I figure the smaller pots he will have to use 
will most likely cost less. This adds 15 x $$$ for the price of the pots. 
The alco knobs vs the regular 3/4" knobs are around double the cost so add 
about $15-$20. The panel is double sized so add a measly $3 or so for that. 
Small things but they add up as a kit price. What pots will you use Tony???

>Be careful of whom you label.

I have not labeled anyone, other than the MOTM as the most useful tool in my 
growing studio. I don't think you should get so defensive about the MOTM 
being used for things other than out of this world tweeky stuff. 
Wendy/Walter Carlos used her/his huge ass Moog modular to break ground for 
all of us with Switched on Bach. How much more traditional can you get?

Thanks for listening and for the valid points! Long live the MOTM support 
list and usefull debates and discussions we all bring here. When will we 
start to hear from all of the other MOTM heads out there who send no mails 
to this list? Speak up people

Thomas White
