MOTM

Great ideas with the wacky LFO's!!   gonna make some great 500 series 
modules..  Theyll never be able to say that MOTM is too vanilla again!!  

I had an idea for an LFO based on three tri LFOs that would modulate 
eachothers rate, or sync, all variable ..  It never got past that 
brainstorming stage.. just a thought of how weird it could get..
   500 series for sure..

Then how about an electric generator run off of a propane engine??  That
would make the best sine.  A solenoid on the throttle could provide VC
Rate.  Add a flywheel and it's now ultra stable.  Additional generators
could be added onto the same engine with tiny transmissions, and each gear
would represent a different harmonic.  I'm sure there are model builders
who could fit this in 3U, and it could replace the 900 for a truly portable
system.  Since it would already have propane, with a 2U grill you could
vertically slide in a couple of burgers and cook meals on the road.  Of
course, someone is going to want a 1U "micro grill" so they can only cook
one hot dog.

The cool thing is you could get multiple phases at the same time.

Yes, but the rate of change would be slow.  It would be like antomatic Lag.

Not with MOTM !!  You bet be grilling something like 
a nice Johnsonville braut.

Hot dogs would be for the Doepfler 1U grill.  Trouble is it will 
cook uneven and leave you wishing you had just boiled it.

Excellent point!!  I hadn't thought of that.

That's another good thing about the 850 pedal interface, you can use it to
attach a clutch pedal to disengage the flywheel on a propane powered LFO.
I'm surprised you left that out of the description.

I was thinking of a gearbox with a shift lever and calling it the
MOTM-MTOM, Manual Transmission Oscillator Module.
