MOTM

Now might be a good time to introduce myself to the list -- and maybe
mention that I play my small MOTM with a Buchla Marimba Lumina?

Since modern Buchla devices have traded their radical visual
treatment for flat black, I would also recommend making 200 modules
in the standard MOTM format. I see no reason for Paul to change his
cucumber-cool styling now.

Of course, this does not preclude a third party from selling a kit of
day glow sticky dots, pink chicken-head knobs, and lime green artist
tape that will allow the kit builder to customize his or her own unit
to the level of psychedelic madness with which they are most
comfortable.

Max Lord

Heck, I'd settle for an XY quad mixer. Or, more appropriately a polar 
coord Quad mixer (angle, distance). I whole heartedly agree that the 
most "Buchala" thing to do would be to push the envelope (heh) of what 
has already been done and forge new territory.
