First day of vacation I finished building the last few modules awaiting assembly (including a MOTM-440 VCF and an Oakley Filtercore Superladder VCF). Nothing is in the pipeline now. That can't last for long. I will do a lot of patching and playing for the rest of 2006! Cheers, Richard Brewster http://www.pugix.com P.S. I plan to take new photos of every module and do a major upgrade of my website.

Now what will you do, a synthesizer finished? You can either start building another, enlarge the existing, or delight us all with loads of music created on it, or of course all of the above :-) HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! Koos --- In motm@yahoogroups.com, Richard Brewster <pugix@...> wrote:

Uh, sure...sure you did. People, don't live in denial like Richard here. It's just not healthy. Just buy another module or prototype some new circuit and, of course, don't embarrass yourself by lying to the group! Honestly, Richard, think of the young people.

I think Chub's right. Anyone who does mods like your 480 conversion is deluding themselves if they think their modular is ever "finished". You need help, Richard. Try breathing some solder fumes. If that doesn't do it, Chub and I might have to organize an intervention. (Happy holidays, everyone! Best wishes for the new year!) --Adam _____

JK, folks, JK. But just at the moment I have no outstanding construction projects. The darned thing is bigger than I ever imagined it could be. There are eight 2U slots left to fill and I will add more MOTM modules as they come out. My plan now is to spend more time discovering sounds. There is that MIDI thing (aka MOTM-650) to figure out. There are two Blacet Miniwaves with 10 ROMS in each to explore. There is something called a MOTM-510. There is a CGS Bi-N-Tic filter. And O, that ZerOscillator. I have yet to fully grok my Blacet Time Machines and the Encore Frequency Shifter, and I am fuzzy on how to make good use of voltage controlled envelope generators (I have three kinds). It's time for listening and learning. Just today I was comparing the sounds of all the VCF's I've got. It is quite a study. I know all these modules in theory. In practice it is a different matter altogether. Richard Brewster http://www.pugix.com Adam Schabtach wrote:

And if it's the latter, damn man, you have plenty! VC-ADSR's, a Time Machine, low-pass gates, Zer0scillator...I couldn't put together a better system myself.

Yeah, I finished mine a couple of years ago. Now I'm just tweaking...
