In the very near future, A Waveshaping module will be available in
dot com format.  It is a test marketing of 12 modules.  teh PCBs are
built.  Now, that I have panels, the remaining assembly will begin in
a couple of weeks.

Many people are.  Rooger delivers a hell of a lot of value for the
price.  The main reason I do not personally use it is that I like to
build my own.  So, MOTM fits me personally a little better.

That is indeed a major advantage Paul has over most everyone.  My
favorite is the MOTM-440 LPf filter.  It is the best LPF I have ever
used.

Different strokes for different folks. :-)  Both approaches are
valid.

add at least couple of the MOTM filters and possibly other modules -
and the possibility of getting them in dotcom format is just
perfection.   Hopefully, by the time I'm ready to add those, all the
groundwork will be in place.  :-)

I am planning to put that in place for our first delivery of 2005.

thinking about gear and synths the last few months (and planning out
what I want to get and what I want to do with it) than I have with
music in a long time. 

If it suppposed to be fun.  Those that want to flame this and that
just don't understand.  It's all about fun and for some folks making
a living (not me thank goodness).
