MOTM

Hello all,
I finally figured out how to join in on the discussions.
I have been reading for months and now I have a problem, 
maybe some one can help me figure out what I am doing wrong.

The problem is my motm won't  stop making noise.... ITS ALIVE!!

Seriously.. I bought a kenton Pro solo (to hold me off till Pauls cv 
conv hits the market)  I hook it up to my motm and I can play 
notes but what ever key is hit last the note stays on?  I've tried 
changing the parameters on the pro solo, No Luck???

I am wondering if I have a defective kenton??

Am I just a retard or what's the Deal?     chocolate, butterscotch 
or rocky roccoco???

I am not a musician, I am into electronic noises.... been playing 
with  and building noise makers since the early 70's.  I am  a 
commercial photographer not a electronic whiz like most of you 
so excuse my ignorance.

Help,

 John

Are you running through a VCA?

If so, do you have the GAIN on the VCA set above 0?

Try this:

CV OUT of Kenton to MOTM 300 (COURSE = 5, FINE = 5)
GATE OUT of Kenton to MOTM 800 (ATTACK = 0, RELEASE = 5)
MOTM 300 SAW to MOTM-110 IN
MOTM 800 + to MOTM 110 CV 
CV-MOD knob of MOTM-110 to 10
GAIN knob of MOTM-110 to 0

Play with the EG settings.

That was the problem....  I had the VCA (110 ) set above 0.  I 
purchased the 110 used and did not get any documentation with 
it.  I have 2 questions
1  What  does the bias do?

2  what is the purpose of the gain

While I am at it,  I heard you can use the Ring Modulator as a 
VCA in a pinch... can someone eloborate on this?


Another question off the subject..
I am waiting for my power distrub. board (960) to come, problem 
is I have 4 modules more than my  900 has outputs for.
Has any one made thier own cables with a Y  on the female 
ends?   Is this a feasable way to power up those additional 
modules till I get the 960 from paul?   

I have been reading your forum since September and I finally got 
the nerve to stick my nose in.  I love my MOTM and I love to build 
the kits, for me it is therapy away from my wife, (Shut that NOISE 
up)  I wish I lived up ;North where people have basements.

Thanks in advance
