Modcan modular B SERIES with 1/4" jacks

Modcan modular B SERIES with 1/4" jacks

2004-12-04 by Tom

Modcan introducing the new B SERIES. 
All the features of the A Series with 1/4" jacks and standard U 
dimensions.

Great supplement to Synthesizers.com.
A bit expensive, you get 2-3 .com for the price of 1 Modcan module. 

Modcan has some cool modules.
Quad Lfo: Low freq. .0004Hz (1 cycle=41min, 36sec.) High freq. 7kHz.
DIODE FILTER 23A is a Lowpass filter inspired by the
classic EMS diode ladder filter.
VC Dual ADSR 
The Boolean module 

These are great times for hardware junkies.
ATOM :)

Dumb newbie question/clarification:

So I can just drop these into a standard dotcom system?  I'm just
about ready to buy a dotcom but I want to make sure I understand what
it's going to take to get some other manufacturers modules integrated.
 Some of the modcan stuff looks very cool.

Great.  Thanks.  The dotcom stuff looks like the best bang for the
buck out there but I'd like the option of adding some other stuff
later.  Sounds like it's a bit of a hassle but doable.  Thanks!

You can mount them in like MOTM modules, because it's the same size/format.
You'll have to drill new holes, but they'll fit. The power connector is
different them MOTM, so you can't just use Rogers adaptor. The easiest thing
would probably be to buy one of these:

And cutoff one of the DotCom power connectors and wire it into the
terminals. That's what I did, anyways...
