MOTM

I can certainly appreciate the ideas behind most of the newer 
modules, and wanting to do a Buchla-esque line, but it would realy be 
very useful if there was a voltage quantizer available in addition to 
the pulse divider.  While I have been out of the loop for a little 
while (stupid economy...), I would do my best to make an exception 
for a voltage quantizer and pulse divider.  Too bread and butter?

If you can deal with kit building, the Blacet/Wiard Mini Wave is really
pretty good at this. In fact there is an EPROM full of scales, alternate
tunings, etc. Fun!

*Lot's* of MOTMers buy this along with the Stooge panel.

Absolutely! The MiniWave is one of our best selling stooge panels. 
Every MOTM modular should have one. Go thou and purchase one, and 
then buy the quantizer PROM from Matthew Davidson. In the same 
cabinet space you would put a dedicated quantizer module, you'll get 
that and so much more.

I have made a fairly amazing patch of tomita-esque strings, playing 
scales generated by constrained random voltages into the MW, with 
voltage controlled selection of the scale.

This sounds very interesting.

I'd like to hear more about how people are using their mini-waves.
I'm just getting started on mine, and would love to hear people's
comments on various PROM's they've tried. 

It seems to do a little bit of everything, and I'm sure people are 
finding a lot of unique ways to use it.

Everything Moe said is true. A MiniWave with Matthew's quantized 
scale PROM is instant nirvana. Get a few of these and you'll never 
have to write another tune.

There are so many waveforms available for the MiniWave that it would 
take a lifetime to explore them to their full potential. Any place 
you have a voltage, try patching in a MiniWave to warp it. Plus there 
are lots of control signal waveforms (like the MARF discriminator in 
the Socket Rocket PROM) which are great for generating random 
triggers. Ohhhh, I feel another patch coming on.....

I'm just scratching the surface of possibilities for my two Miniwaves.  I
did not realize the Miniwave did quantizing at first.  When I learned it
did, that contributed to my decision to build two of them.  I'm interested
in melody generation.  One relatively simple patch I use is to start with a
CGS Infinite Melody to generate two correlated 1/f random sequences. These
do not sound random, but more like a child doodling with a flute or
something.  Each of these goes through its own Miniwave on Bank 15, the
quantizer, and then each drives a MOTM-300 VCO 1v/oct input.  The result is
a walking harmony.  Modulating the wave CV on the Miniwaves changes the
quantizer to different scales.  I can control them separately or together -- 
the CV inputs track pretty well.  The whole patch has a lot of parameters
that can be controlled by LFOs and envelopes.  The only bad part is that I
can't use the Miniwaves for wavetable synthesis at the same time!  I could
even add a third Miniwave and VCO to this patch, since the Infinite Melody
has three correlated outputs.

Email me if you are interested in more details.  I also have Matthew
Davidson's Quantizer and Mosine EPROMs and the Blacet Socket-Rocket EPROM.
I like them all.
