Hiya, Yes I recently bought an MOTM-120 Sub-Octave Multiplexer. The MOTM website says: $139 kit I bought the kit via the internet, using my MasterCard. It was shipped to The Netherlands and Synthesis Technology charged me for $155. Their orderform adds $6 for shipping and handling, so it appears there's a $10 extra for overseas shipping.

As it seems no. Once I thought about ordering some special graphics adapter for my PA-RISC workstation in the USA. It was to expensive, and I managed it, that some friends within the USA bought that card for me and brought it to Europe while their vacancies.

hi!,thanks for answering. it appears that if i want to buy,say, a MOTM system ,i have to order each module seperately,so i can avoid any taxes...right?but this way i will pay a lot of money to the mail(and i will have to go to the postoffice to pick up one module,every once in a while) ...my idea was to order a complete MOTM system at once(when and if i ever had the money).but it seems that then i will have to pay taxes...unfortunately. So,i stay with my DOEPFER...(that is excellent,apart from the mini-jacks...) synthfreak athens-greece --- maex@firstfloor.org wrote: > > > jeah---i think theres some minimum amount of cash > $$, which is without any > taxes???..hmm i might be right or not..but once i > bought something around > 60$ and it came to me with a official stamp from the > tax department: tax > free....in somehow that way as hens described it > below- > ? > > best maex > > > On Mon, 10 Sep 2001 hens@gmx.net wrote: > > > --- In Doepfer_a100@y..., synth_freak_2000@y... > wrote: > > > > > come on,no one of you(european members)has ever > ordered any analog > > > modules(MOTM,WIARD,etc.) direct from the > U.S.?did you pay a lot of > > > money for taxes to the customs???please answer > me...is it worth it? > > > > Hiya, > > > > Yes I recently bought an MOTM-120 Sub-Octave > Multiplexer. > > The MOTM website says: > > > > $139 kit > > > > I bought the kit via the internet, using my > MasterCard. > > It was shipped to The Netherlands and Synthesis > > Technology charged me for $155.

Hi Bakis (and others) > So,i stay with my DOEPFER...(that is excellent,apart > from the mini-jacks...) btw: Did anyone think about a modification of Doepfer modules to 1/4" jacks? I thought about building some modul panels in the Formant size. I would have to remove all pots, connectors and switches, which go to the original panels; The original pots and switches could be used in the new panel; the pcb had to be mounted separately. Another problem might be the lettering. I did neither check the costs, neither did I try. Did anyone of you?

I think, the reason why doepfer can offer the modular at all _is_ the low price. If the modules would be more expensive, the chances on the market would be extrem lower (see Analogue Systems...).
