The Cyndustries List

Sorry if this had been asked before… I just received my MOTM-style Sawtooth Animator (thanks!). The first thing I noticed was the name of the second knob -- "VG FAT." Is that a typo? Is that supposed to be "VC FAT," or am I misunderstanding something…?

It also looks like the silk-screening on the panel is about 3/16" too "high," with the word "FAT" at the top very nearly going off the top edge of the module, and all the jack labels being much closer to the jacks above them rather than to the ones they apply to, underneath.

I had a bit more of a problem with my MOTM animator than just the 
cosmetic issue. My system is all in 19" racks and I use the MOTM rack 
rails. When I went to mount animator, I found that the FAT pot was 
preventing me fitting it and I had to hacksaw about 8mm out of the 
rack rsil. Not finished yet... The mounting holes in the module were 
far too small for the MOTM bolts and the centres did not match the 
pitch of the rails with the other modules mounted.
This seems like a gross engineering miscalculation to me.


Anyway, after my amateur metalwork adventure was over and I powered 
it up, I have to say it is a fantastic sounding module.
