MOTM

Sorry if this is sent twice...server problems.


> a) As reported earlier, the MOTM-480 manual is done, there are 38 kits sitting 
> on the shelf with another 22 ready by Monday. Those of you not ordering Quick 
> Kits will get happy emails shortly. Get those charge cards in order.
>
> b) Happy to report the last known SW bug in the VC Pulse Divider was unearthed 
> today. I will make another prototype and start beta testing by March 1. This 
> module, the '650 and the '600 uSeq all use "jack and ribbon" boards that I 
> want to be common. Once I figure this out, a full VC Pulse Divider module can 
> be offered for sale. It will be  a kit (no SMT), but the jack/ribbon boards 
> will all be pre-soldered (I'm making up like 250 of them all at once).
>
> c) Speaking of the '600: the SW team will get the original NAMM PIC-based 
> version and begin converting over to the 8051 code so that MIDI updates can be 
> common between the 2. Can't say when the '600 will ship, but I expect a 
> straight-forward port (this is what all HW people say about SW).
>
> d) I ordered 6000 transistors for the JH VC ADSR :)  Well, and other MOTM 
> modules. At only $0.025/ea, transistors are still a great bargain.
>
> e) I'm going through the kit backlog again, if you suspect an order is in the 
> 'black hole', please email me so I can dig it out. The VCOs on order are about 
> 1/3 completed, the expected date to *start* shipping VCO kits is Feb. 26.
>
> f) Old Crow has talked me into offering the MOTM-475, the GX-1 style BP filter 
> (diodes). Looks like a MOTM-490 panel with different lettering :) He has a 
> working prototype, so start saving. No one can claim MOTM is short in the VCF 
> department.
