MOTM

After getting NO responses from my question yesterday, I thought it must be 
due to the fact that either no one has a 940, or no one understood my 
question:

So let me rephrase my question:

I also wanted to ask if the 940 also had additional power connectors (you
know, the MTA .156 connectors like on the MOTM 900 PSU)? I have a vague
memory of this, but I didn't see it on the description of the 940. 

I hope that clears it up a bit.

What's that?

Personally, I don't own or plan to own a '940... mostly 'cause of those
other funny-lookin' jacks.  I figure they can't be worth much if I can't
stick a 1/4" in there...  ;)

--PBr, lazily pondering multiples and (Do)MOASs.  John, I'll likely take you
up on your offer, since I'd rather not have Larry Stooge wrench his hand
off!  Although I'm thinking the 800-form would be best... maybe we can stick
a power distributer on that?  Hmm, likely not easily with too many
Switchcrafts.  Oh dear, this signoff comment has gotten significantly longer
than the message...

I have a MOTM-940.  I didn't know I was part of such a select group!  The
940 is strictly a panel and some jacks, no power connector bus in sight.  I
remember some rumors about a module with a power connector bus thrown in
for those of us approaching 24 modules (er um 12 modules for the rest of
you ...).

I must say, I share the general desire for more multiples.  A person really
needs two 4-jack multiples per voice as a bare minimum, and more if you
patch triggers up to your envelope generators (EGs).

While I'm using up band-width, I mod'ed my MOTM-800 EGs, and I like it!  I
purchased a MOTM-800b (with gate-only ADSR envelope), and applied the
changes to my 3 original EGs.  If anyone wants to do this, and hasn't
figured it out, I can supply all of the gory details.  The short version -
one 1K resistor, one diode, one 4" piece of wire.

I agree Paul.  If there ain't a 1/4 phone jack, then I guess you just
cannot connect it to anything.  BTW, I did end up purchasing some of those
Neutrik 1/4 phones from e-bay.  Got the first hundred for $165 including
the shipping to the house.  Got the second hundred for $145 shipped to the
house.  Now I guess I gotta buy some cable.  Hopefully, this is a lifetime
supply.

Well, I don't mind.  I am getting ready to drill one up for myself.  I'm
gonna need a couple to hold me over until  the wood cabinet comes home.  I
have decided to wait on that until later this year.  My rack will hold 70
MOTM spaces and have 4 spaces left for 1U rack stuff.  And, It is not full
YET.  Only half.  :)  No room for power distribution on that 1 U multiple
one I am afraid unless..... You get one of Paul's full size panel brackets
and mount it to the back of the 1U  That might work.  Looks like the
bracket ears will fit right between the multiple jacks.  IN FACT,  I am
going to try this RIGHT AWAY. I have all the parts.   I'll report back.

Notice I still could not help poor Stooge Curly.

NO, it doesn't have any power jacks. I plan to make a 1U wide
reversing attenuator with 9 more MTA-156s.

Many thanks Roy -- and good to hear from you again! Do you have two 900s or 
did you mount a power block somewhere in your system?

Agreed (though confused on the trigger reference), I've been spoiled by 
bananas for too long.

Diode?
