Paul's getting twitchy

Paul's getting twitchy

1999-05-16 by Paul Schreiber

I have pleaded several times in the past about this, but got ZERO response.
Since the VCOs were not out yet, I kind of let it slip.

BUT......

Now you got VCOs, everyone's has stayed holed up beeping and booping,
so now......

*I NEED AUDIO SAMPLES OF MOTM SOUNDS ASAP*

a) CD-R "preferred" because I then can rip into MP3. Cassette not too
thrilled, but can use it. No DAT, sold mine.

b) If you don't want people to know it's you making that horrible mess, then
I won't put your name on the site.

c) You can use OTHER gear, all I ask is that it's MOSTLY MOTM. We got no
filters, so that's expected.

d) You can email me .WAV files. I request 22Khz, 16-bit mono format. I can
rip ONLY a stereo, 44K, 16-bit .WAV
into MP3. No CDR? Zip disk is OK. I'll even *return it*. Got a MP3 ripper?
Send MP3!

e) This is my #1 REQUEST I GET FROM POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS. I am busting my
tail for you, *please* bust a
little for me <sob sob sniff wimper>.

f) I don't need 16 tracks a la Wendy Carlos, Emmo, Tomita, Erasure or YMO.
Sound snippets are actually better, because
of shorter download time. You can use d*****l stuff, Roland x0x crap, I'm
not picky (well, no Nord!). LOTs of requests are for "processing"
stuff as opposed to "generating" stuff. Let's hear so mangling going on!
RM/120/700 stuff!

g) INCENTIVE TIME: best 3 efforts gets a FREE SET OF RACK RAILS. I'm
offering $100 out-of-pocket.

Gentlemen, start your patchcords!!

No female customers yet??? Wendy would count as one, right?

Too bad I can't use my MOTM patchcords... Ha! What is everyone else using
for patchcords?

Anyone wanting to use DAT can mail the DAt to me. I will do DAT to CDR
conversion for Paul for those that awant to use that format.

I rolled my own patchcords after scavenging every switchcraft plug I had
laying around on other cables.

While I was at it, I made a quick 2 space panel with 8 mults in it out of
some aluminum I had laying around, to hold me over until we get mixers.

Guitar center sells some nice SHORT molded 1/4" patchcords for reasonably
cheap. Forget the brand name.. they come in a plastic box containing 10
1-foot, 8 2-foot, or 6 3-foot cords. (i think those quantities are
correct)

Just plunked down my MOTM modules in their new home in a fracrack along
with my other DIY gear. Don't groan, I can't fookin' afford very much!
Wish I could have a whole system, but gotta pay rent and all. Definitely
getting a filter, tho..

BTW for stuff like VCO's, why don't you just connect the 2nd solder pad of
all your VCO's to the first so that when you hook c/v up to one it powers
all the others. You can save a mult connector for later that way.

BTW mixers are very easy to build if you don't mind getting your hands
dirty a bit. (1 dual opamp, a few discrete components) It won't be as nice
and quiet as an MOTM, but it'll probably do the trick for the time being
at least.

Great!

Now you can work on those audio snippets.

Yeah. Unfortunately, I'm digital audio challenged - about all I can do right
now is audio cassette (ugh).

I'll go you one better Dave. I have a quick 2 space mult made from an old
MOTM-700 panel that I torqued the stud out of the back of and had to
replace.
