Re: M boats for a 'laptop' modular

2008-03-04 by kkonkkrete

Hi ---

It's all slowly beginning to sink in. It really is amazing how
diverse these units are --- I never realized how 'conventional' I was
in my whole approach to modular synthesis.

I'm sorry for yet more questions, but I just want to make sure I'm not
being unrealistic in my expectations:

- how fast does the S&H cell of the smooth / stepped generator go?
I'd like to use it for aliasing effects, so I'd need I guess up to a
couple of thousand Hz --- is that possible with the internal clock of
that cell, or would it only work with an audio rate oscillator plugged
into the "sample" jack? Or have I misunderstood what the rate jack
and knobs do?

- do you think there is any chance to persuade Rex Probe to add a
couple of passive banana-to-mini-jack converters to the central strip
of the M-boat? That would help a lot with interfacing to other CV gear.

Thanks for all your help! I'm really psyched about this thing...
