MOTM

I've decided to try a new system when discussing future MOTM modules. I'm 
assigning a 3-level code (no 'Homeland Security' comments, please) as follows:

Level 1 - just tossing out ideas, no decisions made

Level 2 - this WILL be a MOTM module. I've committed CAD resources and in many 
cases there is a schematic or at least a 'proof of concept'.

Level 3 - working breadboards are at field trial

For example, the VC Pulse Divider is at Defcon....errr....Level 3, as is the 
MOTM-650 MIDI-CV. The MOTM-520 Cloud Generator is a Level 2, and the 
Synergy-on-a-chip is a Level 1.

Here is a list of what I have cooking in the R&D stew:

MOTM-130 Dual VCA w/Pan/Fade - Level 2
MOTM-650 MIDI-CV Level 3
MOTM-450 Filter Bank - Level 2
VC Pulse Divider - Level 3
SEM VCF with morphing output - Level 2
Interpolating Scanner - Level 2
MOTM-600 uSeq - really a Level 2.5 about to be a Level 3
MOTM Bi-Phase Clone - Level 3 (Marc is waiting on me to get off my butt)
Triple Preamp - Level 1.5 I keep messing with newer op amps, I need to just pick 
them and proceed
Envelope Follower/Compressor - Level 1.5 (again I waffle on the chips to use)
Envelope Nest - Level 1 (Robert Rich's envelope generator with DSP-like 
features)
Rhythm Wheel - Level 1 (my version of a sample/delay/wavetable synth crossed 
with the Wiard Noise Ring and Sub-Octave Mux)

and announcing today (more info on separate email)

MOTM-810, JH's VC ADSR with Burst/Cycle modes at Level 2, going to Level 3 in 
4-6 weeks
MOTM-430 JH's Variable Slope Hi-Pass VCF Level 2

What did I leave out?

Going forward, I'm not placing these on the site/order form until they are at 
delivery status. But I CAN talk about them beforehand :)

Looks like another visit to the cabinet maker.  Anyone thing there is a
market for a Stooge modular ladder?  Looks like I'm gonna need one.

Actually, I'd rather see an Arp 2500 Series 1047 Multimode. The 
"Keyboard Percussion" feature is sorta interesting....

What do you think?

This filter looks interesting, but as most of us have never heard it sound
samples would useful.

Schematics seem pretty hard to find for this too. I wish I had some 
sound samples. The 2500 that I trained on the college had one, and out 
of all the available filters in the lab, is was the one I patched the most.

isn't your system going through the roof then?

(no bad jokes intended! :-)

The joystick interface module!

Hey, that was no walnut tree that fell on the house. :-)

Seriously, my system will be growing "wings."  Think about a system 700.
Now marry that to the Moog slant style.  You end up with a stadium style
lower corner.  The corners end up with an odd inverted triangle space which
will be used for joysticks, aux pushbuttons and so. I plan to get my cabinet
builder started on them as soon as he returns from his winter escape in the
south.  Dang retired guys have not work ethic. <snicker>

    Michael.

So you join the wing/s and the existing (main?) cabinet?
AFAIK the System 700 cabinets were just stacked and stood next to each
other.
How will you transport your system?

I'm looking forward to see your documentary on your site ;-)

  Michael.

Hello
today I received a happy email about GX1 filters, but is there any idea 
about the happy email for 450?
I think it's one of the best module I can play with my synths,
thanks
Luca

Hard to say. Let me ship the '650 and '730, then we will see what season it is 
:)
