I am really after audio examples, for interest, not purchase options.
FWIW, part of the reason I opted for motm was I didn't want to deal with
having to buy an entire Serge panel.  As long as my module assembling
skills (minimal at the moment) result in functional modules and I have
the time, Tony's WaveFolder is on my future diy list.  Barry Klein's book
is still available (I bought a copy about 4 weeks ago) at:
www.xavax.com/bklein/em.htm 

Because I'm a novice at assembling this stuff, reading schematics tells me
very little about how an 'audio module' will sound.  So, I'm just after
some audio 'clips' to get me oriented.

These I've listened to and found them to be interesting.

These I would greatly appreciate.  Tony, please take your time (get that
cd-rw running), and as before, I appreciate your willingness to help me
out.
