Re: [motm] Zeroscillator and a thought for Paul

Well, there are several ways to approach building 'strange' modules:

a) the #1 selling MOTM module is the MOTM-800 EG
b) the MOTM-510 WaveWarper has sold less than the MOTM-420 VCF by 2:1

I call this the 'Buchla Pyramid' effect: the stranger your modules, the smaller 
the customer base. You begin to approch the limit of only 1 person in the world 
wanting what you have :)

I have several 'strange' modules in the works. 2005 was spent trying to ship all 
the un-strange ones on order (mostly from June of last year, when prices were 
about to go up and over 700 modules were ordered in a span of *10 days*).

The other issue with 'strangeness' is people want *different degrees* of it. 
Again, take the '510. Larry Hendry told me he tried to use it for 10min before 
audio even came out. He never used it again. Robert Rich took the prototype and 
made *entire tracks* on his last CD 'Lithosphere' using it.
