MOTM

Heres a thought,

I am using a Roland M-181 controller to control my MOTM when not using my 
Kenton Converter. I have enough modules now to make 2 basic voice set ups 
and I want to have 2 sounds coming out of the MOTM at the same time and with 
my keyboard controller split midway to control both using the 700 switch 
module. I have not tried it but I will next time I'm in my studio. Heres a 
description of my thoguths about patching order.

I would have to patch the CV into the X input and the gate into the Y input 
on the 700. Now I can run the A CV and Gate outs of the switch to one voice 
setup and the B CV and Gate outs of the switch to the second voice setup. 
For the CV input to control the switch I patch in the 1v/oct CV from my 
controller keyboard and set the switch points for both sections to rollover 
at middle C on my keyboard. Now if I play below middle C, I will hopefully 
only trigger the bass voice and associated modules in my system and when 
playing middle c or above I hope to trigger the lead voice modules.

Does this make sense? I can't wait to try it and even if it doesn't work 
exactly like I said can someone give a few pointers to make it? ha! I love 
my MOTM and I have been trying to look past the common ways to use it that I 
have begun to take for granted (only a little) to find new uses.

PAUL, I have to interject that the Infra-red controller module thing I was 
able to acquire through Frostwave, Aus would make a great MOTM module. With 
the infra red beams, you get a fairly direct response range in front of the 
sensors and if it was an MOTM panel in the upper left of anyones cabinet, it 
could be a great handsfree controller that produces footpedal or joystick 
like pitch bend and makes you look like you are trying to cast a spell on 
your MOTM! You can get pretty close to the thing as long as careful and not 
set off any otf the triggers or cv's. They did a good job with the module, 
but I know you could add a few features and make some sort of excellent 
controller module maybe down the line. Just a thought since I can't stop 
waving down these busses and taxi's in front of my modular with no one 
looking. Maybe to mod it to be a voltage controlled LFO onboard to increase 
rate of modulation as hands begin to fly.

(Side note= The frostwave thing would not be so fun without my MOTM. Please 
make sure to have a big ass modular to plug this into if you get one and 
preferrably MOTM.) Sure joysticks are fun but this thing is the ultimate in 
clean, look ma no hands :~)

You are on the money. Your patch should work just as described.
