MOTM

Hi! I thought I'd introduce myself, as I've been lurking here for a 
while. 

Just finished my second motm kit - a quad lfo. It works perfectly, 
and was very easy to assemble. Built a power supply earlier - too 
easy to mention. 

I've got plans for lots more kits, as time and budget allows. I've 
also got some dotcom stuff, and some paia kits. 

Paul called me up, perplexed, upon getting my original order for the 
quad lfo. Strange first order - yup! Did I know what this thing is 
for? Did I know it's not a guitar stomp box? Etc. Understandable. 
Okay, here's who I am ..... a 40something professional cellist who's 
been playing in symphonies all my life. Currently in the Nashville 
Symphony. My mom's a composer, and hence my ears got stretched a lot 
as I grew up. Growing up happened in the 60's and 70's, in Ithaca, 
NY, down the road from Trumansburg. Hence I was around moog stuff 
constantly - Robert Moog was just another townie, and I got to see 
Mother Mallards Portable Masterpiece Company many times, and they 
didn't mind if I came up and fooled with the knobs after their 
concerts. Later I attended Oberlin Conservatory, and besides the 
cello, took courses in composition and electronic music, and was one 
of the first students in the TIMARA program there. Got to play with 
the moog and the buchla there. A few of my classmates were building 
modulars from serge kits, which was a viable option then, and I 
meant to do that someday, but never got around to it. So life goes 
by for some years, and I get to beta test a bunch of music software, 
and along comes arturia modular. Great piece of gear, but still has 
major limitations, and doesn't really have the sound. So I did some 
online searching and on a lark bought 3 dotcom modules, and was 
looking out for a fun, cheap way to add to them, and there's motm. 
So I've got the start of a modular going here!


I think the 101 is the next kit in line. And after that some more 
basic stuff. More involved stuff a few months from now. I wish there 
was something like a serge Dual Universal Slope Generator available 
somewhere - any advice? 

Cheers - Steve Drake

Welcome aboard!

Many of the functions of the Serge DSG can be duplicated by combining an
MOTM-820 VC Lag Processor with an Oakley Systems OMS-820 Companion module.
You will also get a few added features such as linear/logarithmic shape and
independent voltage controlled Up/Down.
