An introduction, and a small offer
2002-03-14 by Adam Schabtach
Hello-- I've been lurking on this list for a little while, and thought perhaps I should decloak and introduce myself. Hi! my name's Adam, I write music software for a living, and I recently ordered my first batch of MOTM module kits. I've wanted a modular synthesizer for about 20 years(!), despite--or maybe because of--having a good-sized pile of those 'D'-word synthesizers. (No, not Doepfer--the other 'D'-word. You know, those analog wannabes.) After having the good fortune of meeting Paul, Tony Karavidas, and Robert Rich at the recent NAMM show, and spending some time inspecting the hardware and listening to the sounds, I decided that the time had finally arrived to buy one. (Never mind that I still don't know where I'm going to find room to put it...) I would like to thank the folks who contribute to this list and who provide websites with information about building and modifying MOTM modules. The information I've found in the archives of this mailing list and on your websites has been very helpful. I intend to use my website to chronicle my adventures while constructing my synthesizer, hoping that perhaps my own observations will in turn be helpful to someone else. Here's my small offer: I've converted Ken Elhardt's module drawings into Macintosh PICT format. If there are any other Mac users on this mailing list who are interested in these drawings, with Ken's permission I'll post them on my website, or mail them back to him, or give them to Paul to post, or whatever. Obviously Mac users can also use the JPEG versions, but the PICT versions have the advantage of being vector drawings which can be scaled, edited, etc. --Adam -- Adam Schabtach adam@... http://www.studionebula.com
