MOTM

Oh Yeah!  They are beautiful, as are the rest of the bunch.  The 
highest quality, too, so they will be around a long, long time.
 
One more aspect that gets a little over-looked in my opinion is that 
the MOTM is *BY FAR* the quietest synth with respect to signal to 
noise.  It's an entire no-brainer to record this beast.  In fact, 
that's the main reason I chose MOTM (and sold off modules from other 
brands).  As a happy side-effect, I also got one of the best sounding 
synths avialable now or in the past.

Upon auditioning the MOTM waveforms, I found that the MOTM
