MOTM

I'm sure this is a newbie question, but I can't find the mailing list 
archive so....

What methods/modules does everyone use to get external line level 
signals into their MOTM's?  I have yet to figure a way that works with 
the quality of sound I'd like.


cheers,
Tom

I do it in either of these two ways:

1. Plug your external signals into a mixing board. Use the auxiliary 
sends on the mixing board to feed your MOTM, I can usually crank 
these outputs up to MOTM levels.

2. Hack your MOTM-830 so that each channel has a gain of at least 1.0 
(or use an Oakley Multimix if you have one) and plug your external 
signal into several inputs and turn them all to 11.

The dotCom instrument interface works out great for feeding
machinedrum to my system.

I send a track out the back of my digi and into the DI of one of my outboard preamps all of 
which have balanced and unbalanced outputs. Then use the unbalanced output into a 830 
and mix with a waveform or something to compare to so you don't have to much gain, I 
think my avalons have like 65db of gain and my api's have like 45db. I used to just try and 
boost the hell out of the tracks internaly but that doesn't sound as good. Mixers are good 
too but cheap ones can add a bit of extra noise for my taste. Also this kind of stuff is great 
to do when your working with bands and they want some sort of effects in the mix, they 
can tweak knobs and such.

Is the Biphase clone still going to be made? I have the the mutron phase II pedal that I 
love, and every demo on the interenet I have heard on the Biphase makes want one but I 
am just waiting to get the MOTM one.
