MOTM

Or something like that.

So I just finished my two 300's, mult-ed patch bay, and a boatload of 
patch cables.  


WOW.  That is all I have to say. WOW.  Now I feel a little
overwhelmed, soo many modules and I want to use each one everytime. 
Paul, everything sounds amazing, and it all seemed to work on the
first try.  

I have a question tho, I noticed that I get a slight popping sound on
the output of the 100 when my 800 is anywhere between 0 and 2ish.  Is
this right?  I have used it to my advantage, for perc and the likes
but my experince here is pretty limited. This makes sense - but
having put it all together myself....well, I am human error. 

A comment, I remember back a bit someone commenting about not being
able to get 'trigger' on the aux outs on the kenton - a 2000 I
believe.  What version do you have?  Mine is 4305/322, you can see it
on power-up.  I don't have it in front of me, nor have I tried it
yet, but it seems to me I programmed one of the Aux's for trigger.  

Also, when i got my synthi, I had 3 cardboard Patch cards.  They are
slightly larger than the patch matrix, have all the pots marked on
it, and the part that actually fit over the matrix had little
half-punched holes.  You could punch them out with the pins, and
pretso (sorry) you set up the template, where there was a hole you
placed a pin, and all the pots had their value marked on them. 
Pretty smart idea. So what about a giant cardboard overlay for the
MOTM....hhmm.....

Thanks to everone who chimes in and keeps the group rockin.  All of
the advise and ideas are fun to follow, and now try.

Another confirmed MOTM junkie.  You sir, are now addicted.

That would have been me Aaron.  Yes, I know you can get the triggers for A
and B.  However, you cannot get triggers for additional voices, only gate
and CV.  I have the same version as yours.

I assume you mean the 110 VCA/RM (I mix up the numbers often as well).

If you mean when the ATTACK knob is between 0 and 2 then I would think this 
was normal operation. Yes! Great for percussive effects! Those log pots (I've 
got some linear pots on some ADSRs which aren't nearly as good from my 
perspective) require a fair bit of travel to get subtle increase in ATTACk 
time in the first part of rotation and I consider this an asset.

Good to have you onboard Aaron!

Also, the *pop* may be DC offest "pops'. Try adjusting the CV Reject trimmer
on the pc board
for minimum popping.
