Dotcomformat

hi,

this is a follow-up to my post from a few months ago. i had a friend  
in the netherlands wire the (contested) missing money to kazike and a  
few weeks ago my modules showed up.

it's hard for me to say this, but they're great. they are built  
different than standard dotcom style in that the back of the module is  
encased  by aluminum (so they're more like a rectangular box than two  
rectangles joined at a right angle). the lfos are exactly what i  
needed; they're not voltage controlled but i still have some q106's  
when i need that functionality and in the space of 1 q106 i now have  
two lfos. i really like the quantizer; it's accurate but not 100%  
accurate so occasionally voltages that are between notes will jump  
from one note to the other at random moments. since you can  
specifically set the general key (major/minor) as well as which notes  
should be contained in the scale (6/7) this is really fun. (i've never  
used a quantizer before so it's possible that my 960 is sending out  
voltages that are varying but i never noticed this behavior when  
directly driving oscillators). the rocker switch on the quantizer  
feels a bit cheap though; i may open it up and replace it (it never  
really "clicks" into place, it just kind of goes from side to side  
without any tactile feedback when it's in position), i had no problems  
connecting the cotk power supply to my dotcom; it's not very wide so  
it fit fine in my portable case.

all in all, these are the modules i wanted when i started the  
purchasing process last year. if you have faith in wire transfers (or  
if you live in the eu and don't have to worry about rapid fluctuations  
between your currency and the euro) don't hesitate to order from cotk.  
just be aware that once your money has been sent you're not getting it  
back if some problem ensues.

thanks,

-jon
