MOTM

Thanks for responding George and Paul! J

Yes, the list is so dead and empty I wasn’t even sure I’d hear an echo! ;-)  Thanks for the reminded of the guy on Muff’s who made some. I remember the thread but can’t find it now.

The good news is that a friend contacted me directly after seeing my post to this list and thinks he has one or more original MOTM distro boards in storage and is going to look for them.  J

If he doesn’t have them and I can’t find one elsewhere I’ll just go with a couple of the nice little ones that Analog Craftsman makes.

I’ll chime in now then :-)

Hi John,

As I’ve suggested before, someone should (re)design this PC board and put it up on OSH Park so that anyone can order the PCB and solder on the connectors themselves. The simplest solution would be for Paul to provide his Gerber files, since—in my understanding—neither he nor anyone else has any commercial stake in this item. Failing that, I could probably be talked into doing the design, if there were sufficient interest. Note that the minimum order from OSH Park is three boards, so some sort of group buy might be useful. That would have to be up to someone else, though.

So, there are several questions: 1) what, exactly, do people want? A clone of the 990? If so, what are the specs? I can deduce a fair amount from the photo here http://synthtech.com/motm/accessories/ but I’d need to know a part number for those screw terminal blocks and the specs for the caps. 2) How many people want one?

Thanks Dom and Patrick!

 

You are right - I have one. It's not LED MAN either, although he does to very good bespoke MOTM power solutions. 

 

I'm afraid I can't remember the name of the guy that does the boards though, so I'm not actually much help. I would have thought a search on Muffs will answer though.

I’ve been racking my brains, but I’m sure there’s a guy on Muffs who made his own

Not the full 990, but (if memory serves) it was a combination of power headers, including, I think some 6 pin MTA156 - i think…

 

Fairly certain he’s in Germany, and thought it was LED-Man - but I’m wrong unless he’s changed his Muff signature

 

Whomever this chap is, his Muff signature mentions he has distro PCBs for sale

 

Hope that helps - sorry for being cryptic :-)

 

Nice to give the MOTM list a dusting off everynowandagain…

 

Cheers

Wow - did you hear the sound of distant echos when you said that??  :-)

Sorry John, I don't have one.

Hi all! 

 

I'm on the hunt for a MOTM-990 power distribution board (the one with that supports a +5v rail with some 6 pin connectors)

 

Thanks!

Aha. Disregard what I said about making a new PCB. J If someone is stocking assembled units for $20, that’s the way to go. Note, however, that it has the synthesizer.com-style connectors rather than the MOTM-style connectors.

Thanks for your thoughts, Adam! J

I think Synthcube is the current IP holder (or whatever) for all the MOTM stuff. I wrote them first and they responded “we have 900, 950 and 960.... No 990 yet” so it sounds like they may make some at some point but, I’m betting the demand for that board is very low.

Since so few MOTM modules were ever produced that need +5v, I would think a redesign of the 990 might be good where there are only 2 or 3 six pin MTA-156 connectors and the rest of the positions split between six pin MTA-100 and 4 pin MTA-156?

Anyways, all of my cases except 1 have MOTM distribution boards and I want to keep things consistent if I can, for better or worse. I have many six pin MTA-156 to six pin MTA-100 cables I’ve made to power all the modules I have with DotCom power headers. J

Hi all,

Thank you to everyone who responded with offers, comments and suggestions! I got a board from one of you so I’m good (for now? lol)  

I hope everyone is doing well!
