MOTM

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Eric for putting this together.

It's a good thing Eric brought a couple rack panels of MOTM, since it
was the only MOTM there.  Fwiw, my little MOTM system isn't all that
portable.  So while we can't compete with the cornfed in that
department, there was a good representation of New England synths
with the rare ARP and huge EML collection, as well as a huge ARP and
a rare EML.  Otoh, no one brought a Birotron or a Synclavier (sure it
isn't analogue, but it has "New England" printed right on it :)

Does anyone have any stats on how many people and synths have been at
each AH regional meeting??  I'm confident that with the right
planning, as long as there isn't an AHTX, we can beat the rest of the
country :)

>- John Terrey had a Synton Sirinx that was very cool along

The Syrinx was my favorite.  It easily made a wide variety of
playable vocal patches -- very nice.  I wonder if a a clone of its
dual filter would make a viable motm module.  The ARP2500 was very
impressive, but I'm just not into the routing matrix -- while
replacing the need for patch cables, it takes up a massive amount of
space.

I did spend some time with it, but given the situation, I couldn't
give it a thorough test.  Using an MOTM-300 as a source, I could get
it to produce typical distortion/ring mod sounds.  Perhaps it would
be more interesting and useful with more complex sources.  Yet, at
this point, I'm wondering if I should buy one.

I took some pics with an ANALOGUE camera.  So I'll let you know when
I get them back from the chemist.
