Time for good news

Time for good news

1999-05-20 by Paul Schreiber

Need *something* upbeat:

a) joe_p has sent 3 MP3 files of MOTM noodling. The glove has been thrown
down!
Rumor has it the "The Rocket" has ordered 2000 patch cords.

b) MOTM-420 pcb layout 100% done. I'm going to play on the bench this
weekend *just to be sure*
and then it will be released Monday. The panels will be ready Monday as
well. So, I'm on track for
a June 10-12th time period.

So......

Feel free to order! Subscription is 1 unit, send automatically.

NOTE: some of you have credit cards nearing expiration (like this month!)
Please use the order
form or fax in (817-498-3782) new card info if need be.

I'm sending 5 snippets to J. Larry today for conversion. Here's what's in
them, in case others want to avoid duplication:

1. MOTM-300 tight unison sawtooths playing a Rush riff. Yeah I know it's
clichesville, but people still want to know how ballsy it's gonna sound.
BTW, the MOTM 300s sounded remarkably similar to a Minimoog on this cut.

2. MOTM-300 sync drone, master drones while slave is connected to kbd CV and
pitchbend, so overtones can be "played".

3. MOTM-300 linear and exp FM examples. VCO2 runs through VCA into FM1 on
VCO1, so the modulation amount can be voltage controlled. Three notes with
lin FM sweeps, then the same 3 notes with the switch thrown to Exp.

4. E drums using MOTM-300 sines and pitch envelopes, noise burst for
"snare", super fast pitch swept sine for the "crack" sound, etc. - the
classic way you synthesize a drum. Could have used a filter to tune the
noise better, but it turned out OK.

5. Alesis HR-15 through a MOTM-120 in cross mode, MOTM-300 into input B.
Rude and nasty!

Hmmm, I didn't mean this to sound like you shouldn't send your sound clips
to Paul just because you had done something similar to what I did. The more
the merrier, and your stuff may blow mine away anyway!!

It's a relatively new web audio format. Go to http://www.mp3.com and
download a freeware or shareware mp3 player.

Hello and sorry for the dim question but how do I get to hear MP3 stuff? Do I
need something special to play this?
