Gunnar, You can run Club of the Knobs from a synthesizers.com power supply, just attach some leads from the big wire nuts on the dot com harness. Attach the +15v, -15v, and ground. Thats it. As far as I know I was the first North American customer for Club of the Knobs, their business has come alongway in the past three years. Here is a link to some videos I posted on Youtube of a mixture of COTK moduules and dotcom modules. I have alot of COTK modules and I love them. I will post a new video, showing the Bode Freq shifter, 921A and B Osc, and the KL Module, logic, a fun logic pack from Germany with two (OR, XOR, AND) logic circuts and an inverter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Puy1D0lGU4E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pq9XNRPQj8 Thanks, Paul ________________________________ From: dotcomformat@yahoogroups.com on behalf of gunnar Sent: Thu 6/19/2008 4:30 PM To: dotcomformat@yahoogroups.com Subject: [dotcomformat] Re: trader: club of the knobs hi jon. thanks a lot for giving us this review. i think this makes cotk a little less mysterious. just to make sure i understand, do you have both dotcom and cotk power supplies in the same portable cabinet? i can add that i've emailed with kazike a little and he kindly shared some mp3 demos of his delay module. still wiping the drool off my chin... gunnar --- In dotcomformat@yahoogroups.com <mailto:dotcomformat%40yahoogroups.com> , jon schatz <jon@...> wrote:
