MOTM

I stand ever at the ready to gently instruct Elhardt in the 
mysterious ways of analog synthesis. Yea, even as a mother hen 
gathers her brood under her wing. But enough of that.  >:-)

The problem is with the supply. When dotcom modules don't quite get 
the juice they need, weird things happen. If your system is at the 
brink, as it were, a variation in line voltage from your AC wall 
outlet is enough to kill the oscillators and the EG's. That's why I 
have to unplug my oscillator bank when I plug in my MOTM-120 or 
Blacet Time Machine. 

An additional power supply will soon solve this problem. I'm learning 
that MOTM modules are a tad on the power-hungry side.

up again, and it's been fine ever since.  Not sure how something like 
that can happen.
