MOTM

I have compiled a table that lists every module put out by the major 
modular manufacturers.  It is a work in progress at the moment, but if 
anyone would like a copy, I can forward it.  If the list here would like me 
to post it right to the list, I could do that too, but don't want to take 
up bandwidth and storage unnecessarily.

Currently the table shows every module put out by these major modular 
manufacturers:

MOTM
Moog
Polyfusion
EMU
Serge
Buchla
Doepfer
Evos

When I have time and the whim strikes again, I will add these manufacturers:

Aries
Arp 2500
CMS
Digisound
Fenix
Modcan
Paia
Process Electronics
Project Electronic
Roland System 700
Roland System 100M
Synton
Total Technology
Technosaurus

I created it as a table in a Word document, preferring that over Excel 
since text wrap is available within a cell in a Word table.  It lists the 
module titles in the rows, and manufacturers in the columns.  Each cell 
simply lists the module part number.  As I add more manufacturers, the 
number of columns will increase.  Extra rows are added when a manufacturer 
has a unique module title.  Future data could also include the module price 
below each module number, and the date of introduction or dates of 
production, and possibly the quantity produced if we should ever learn that 
one.  But mainly it is a tool to see and compare what kinds of things have 
been pursued by the various makers.

The module rows in my table are grouped in broad categories, that currently 
are as follows:

Oscillators
Filters
Timbre
Amplifiers
Modulators
Modifiers
Sequencing
Utility
Midi to CV
Controllers
Cabinets.

When finished, I will send this to Music Machines and Synth Zone and Peter 
Forest for their use.  I also intend for it to be a reference for future 
brainstorming on module ideas by anyone, but most importantly:  YOU.  A LOT 
of modules have been designed already as can be seen by the nine-page 
table.  If you are interested in a copy of the file, Version 1.0, or want 
it posted to the list, let me know.

Text Wrap is available in Excel, too. When it comes to tables, there's not
much, if anything, that Word can do that Excel can't.

Select cells, right-click, select "Format Cells,"  "Alignment," and check
the "Wrap text" box.
