MOTM

Hey folks,

I've removed the folders from the egroups file area describing my 800 
mods and sequencer designs. They now have a permanent new home at my 
Hot Rod MOTM page:

http://www.users.qwest.net/~daveb2/

Please visit and tell me what you think. I know I'm not a graphic 
artist, but it's informative at least. Also included is the latest 
info on silkscreen designs, mounting a DarkStar to a MOTM panel, etc.

I still need links to your MOTM pages! And if you want to put a link 
to my page on yours, that's great too!

Moe

Hello,

Just looked over your suppermoe sequencer page.  Mighty nice, especially for
a home-made machine!  

In case you need any circuits for the cv to address generation, here are a
couple of examples that should be simple to implement:

I *hate* BLUE links on a BLACK background! YEEECH!

Looks nice!!  Way better than mine.  Mine's been saying under construction 
for two years:).  I checked out the panel graphics.  Being a fellow LED 
enthusiast, I noticed the obvious lack of the LED on the MultiMix. ;) Easy 
enough to add in though.

The object of that particular design is to cram it into a 1U module. 
The Multimix kit also probably deserves a 2U panel treatment, with 
more bells and whistles.

Noted. I changed the colors at the last minute, but I'll fix it.

Most EXCELLENT Moe !!

Well, in response to feedback the site has been updated.

I've changed the link colors to make Mr. Cranky happy.

I've added a page clarifying the uses and design of the triple 
reversible attenuator/mixer module, for which many of you have 
ordered panels.

I've added a page for DarkStar circuit mods (under construction, stay 
tuned for some cool stuff!)

I've added a link or two, can still use more!

Thanks for the compliments and the links! Instead of building a flash 
ADC from discrete components, I'm just going to use an inexpensive 
dedicated 8 bit chip, and discard the 4 MSB lines. It will be a lot 
more compact and take less current than rolling my own.

Moe

Add this link please! It's a bit outdated but it will work!

Thanks

I've wondered if you could do that.  That's good to know.

Good luck with that feature.  I've wanted something like that on my
superseque since I found out that Buchla's 200 series sequencer could do it.
Should be easy since I'm using a CD4516 counter.

dave,
just had a chance to take a look at your website and found it both 
interesting and informative. don`t worry about your lack of graphics, the 
concentrated pure data was a breath of fresh air in a world that favors 
appearance over content. your sequencer design looks quite powerful, makes me 
wish i hadn`t burned out my nervous system and was still able to do serious 
diy/building. i found your statement of direction ( "why i chose motm" ) to 
be clear and well reasoned even if i elected to make a different selection as 
my own modular core. still, isn`t it great to HAVE so many choices and the 
opportunity to build a "best of breed" by combining the best from different 
manufacturers!
anyway, just wanted to give you a "nicely done" on the website!
best,
dave v.

> I've changed the link colors to make Mr. Cranky happy.

Sorry, but Mr. Cranky can't read olive green on black (for previous visited
links)

Mr. Cranky suggesats visiting www.synthtech.com, selecting View...Source
from
you browser, and cut/paste the HTML tags for LINK and other color data. AND
boost the
font size with the <FONT> tags.

The best way to control how text and links look and work is to use Cascading
Style Sheets, such as the example code below, placed in the <Head> of an
HTML page:


<STYLE TYPE="text/css">

	.BodyText {font-family: Georgia, Times, Serif;
				font-size: 10pt;
				text-decoration: none;
				}

	.BodyText A {color: #0000CC;}

	.BodyText A:hover {color: #008800;}

</STYLE>


Then you class all your body text as "BodyText" and the rest is magic.

Okay, I'll be quiet now.

And then I'd have.....white pages? Boring! I'll stick with black, but 
will continue the quest for the perfect link colors.

In regards to font sizes: I know very little about web design, but 
one thing I did remember from a WebMonkey tutorial was that they said 
to never hardcode font sizes, because it would be guaranteed to be 
unreadable on somebody's system. I just used the default setting in 
FrontPage. If you find it too small on your monitor, bump the text 
size up a notch (it's on the View menu in IE), and everything will 
get bigger. If there's a better way to do this, somebody let me know.

Moe

Cascading Style Sheets. It's the greatest web technology. You centralize
your entire site from a single page. You can control the entire look and
behavior of your text, links, and more. You can keep your black background,
make hyperlinks show as any color you like, change
font/color/boldness/anything on hover or click. And if you change you mind
later you update a line or two in your STYLE.CSS file and the entire web
site changes. Works great with JavaScript and DHTML too.

Don't hard code, use stylesheets!

See http://www.w3.org/Style/ for more info.

OK, gang. This is my last post about this dang site, until the next 
time I add some worthy content (probably a page on building the 
Expressionist breakout box.)

After a quick lesson in style sheets from Ken, the new Mr. Cranky 
Approved site is up.

Thanks for your patience!

hello all,
last time i asked for links, i got absolutely no reply
however (if that's okay with all of you), i'll add the links posted recently
for an idea of what goes off on my site check out www.pasc.co.uk

i just ignored paul's advice, after all, he called my logo "anime" (it's
actually from a korean advert for batteries back in the 50's)

cheers
paul b
hoping his constructivist modular parts have shipped by now...

Just a note to say that I updated my bleak and bare site to include the
links to all the photos of the 822 voltage shifter during construction
phases.  You will notice it is white, with black print.  Unlike Ken, Dave,
and Mr. Cranky (who is that anyhow?), I have absolutely no HTML skills.  I
also added a link back to Dave's great site./  And, as it always has, it
contains a link back to Synthtech with a slight rave about MOTM modules.

See message 8007 for the identity of Mr. Cranky. (In fairness, Mr. 
Cranky's complaints helped make the site a lot better).
