MOTM

Okay, since there have been so many other new members, I'll speak up now.  : 
)

 I've been lurking for the past few months soaking up all the GREAT info 
here. I find that this is one of the most friendly and helpful lists that I 
subscribe to. This is a great thing, as I love discussing modular synths and 
synths in general. 

 I ordered and built my first MOTM modules (900, 800, 410) a while back and 
had no problems at all. I just received most of my second order (420, 110) 
and will probably start on the 110 tonight. I have a 300 on the way but it is 
on backorder. I'm also tempted to order a few more modules to beat the price 
increase.  ; )

 I have a ring modulator that built in the early 80's from Craig Anderton's 
book Electronic Projects for musicians. I plan to attach this to a MOTM 
panel, if only for sentimental reasons. I haven't used it in years and I'm 
sure the MOTM 110 will blow it out of the water.

 I also plan to dabble in my own (simplistic!) designs and modifications to 
existing circuits. I'm more of a techhead than an engineer, so I'll probably 
be asking for pointers once I get to this point. 

 Anyway, thanks to Paul for offering such great modules. For some reason 
after working a week at my job, the process of building them is an incredible 
stress reducer.
 
 I'd also like to thank Larry Hendry for talking to me about MOTM in the 
first place and getting me excited enough to take the plunge.  I'm very 
grateful for his help and friendly nature.

  Here's looking forward to many future discussions,  : )

Do it !!  Just keeping good company with your MOTM will make your other
circuits seem to work better.

I encourage this too.  I have learned so much on the last two years just
building Paul's stuff and reading, that I have done some simple stuff
myself.  Making a circuit on one of Paul's proto boards is about as much fun
as it gets.

Dittos (as the Rush people say).

You're welcome.  It was the least I could do after you were kind enough to
buy my old PAiA stuff.  Guess where I put the money. <snicker>  Besides, now
that you have signed up I get the standard commission from Paul of one free
module every time you buy one.  HA HA... ROTFLMAO  Just kidding, of course.

I just got in from hearing Santana in concert, so I am in a pretty good
mood.
