MOTM

I have a question about the numbering of MOTM modules. Obviously there's
some method behind the madness, but I'm wondering what the "official"
designations-if any-behind the 'hundreds' digit means. Some categories are
more obvious than others.

Here's a weak stab at it from observation:

	100 - Miscellaneous? (Noise, S&H, VCA, RM, Divider?)
	200 - Reserved
	300 - Oscillators
	400 - Filters
	500 - Reserved
	600 - Reserved
	700 - (Switching?)
	800 - Controller / CV Sources
	900 - Support (Power, Patching)

Please don't tell me to "Go search the archives" because I did a while ago
and found nothing <g>.

It seems the 'tens' digit is "Function type" and the 'ones' is "Revision
Number."

Best regards to all.

I haven't heard anything official from Paul, but what you have observed
pretty much hits the mark. For instance, I believe we've heard that the new
NS/SH module is moving from 100 to 101, and the Micro VCO was mentioned as a
MOTM-310.

BTW, go search the archives... NOT<g>! This subject hasn't come up before.

  For the 400-filter series, the numbers make a bit of sense:

  410 --> PS3[10]0
  420 --> MS[20]
  440 --> SSM20[40]

I have always maintained a personal list of what is available (price list),
what is coming up and what the numbers mean.  One addition:

	000 - Things you can't rackmount (rails, power cables, etc.)

BTW, I have a '940 too.  I have considered drilling it up, but my patch bay
is taking care of all of my needs right now.  I like to use pass throughs a
lot, so it is perfect for that (for 1/4"), except for MIDI pass through.  I
take a bunch of 1' cables in the rear of the bay and I can easily have
whatever size mults I need.  This is an extremely flexible system for me.
Although I will continue to buy at least one of everything Paul releases.
