Hardly dead IMO. E.g. Oakley still going along fine making good stuff.

I am of the same ilk, chose MOTM for semi-DIY back in 2002. #2 choice was Blacet but a) I preferred the bigger format based on what I lusted over when I was younger, and b) the MOTM list had much more interesting discussions.

Unfortunately many of the modules I lusted after never saw the light of day, the DoMOAS sequencer, the dual pan/fade VCA (this -><- close), any of the other CS-80 old crow modules, and the Rhythm Wheel sounded cool. It would be wonderful if MOTM 4.0 went back to 1.0, but that's a pipe dream.

Old Crow is currently offering a CS-80 VCO and the other bandpass filter:

There's plenty of fine projects from Bridechamber and SynthCube with more on the way from the latter.  And, as you note, superb offerings from Oakley.

So, I started to look back through the archives a bit to find out more
about MOAS, DoMOAS, Super Moe, etc. I hope you'll forgive me if I
missed something; there are over 34000 messages in the list and I
haven't read every one of them. (There are over 1700 hits just for the
search "sequencer".) Did anyone ever get to the prototyping stage for
any of these ideas? Were there ever any actual circuit designs?

BTW, is there a better way to search the list than with the yahoo web
page? It only returns ten messages at a time...
