MOTM

Hey Paul,
     If you're planning to sell the 510 at $99.00, I'll buy one :) SCR

Re: [motm] RE: Vanilla versus double pecan ripple fudgeYep, synthesizers.com is 
boring, looks like MOTM is headed in that same direction.

Errr....no. If anything, the AudioEngine is going to cause an entirely different 
sort of "problem": that is, now that there is so much power behind a 2U or 3U 
panel, what do you DO with it? In other words, the difficulty will be in 
*thinking up* the modules, not in the execution of them. 64 individual wavetable 
VCOs with VC loop points/morphing/cross-fades? Piece of cake. 1024 VC ADSR EGs? 
2 hours of work, max. Entire DX-1 voice? OK! Any 200e module in the Buchla 
catalog? Done!

I have not been able to support MOTM as much as I'd like, but I'm concerned that 
when I can afford to, there will not be the interesting MOTM modules available 
that I'd like to use.

OK, they here is YOUR assignment: what module that I don't have would you like 
to use? See, circular arguments just like this doomed the 300 Series from Wiard. 
You want strange/esoteric/bizarre? Grant handed it to you on a silver platter. 
Bitch that it was 'too expensive'? Well, what you you *expect*? Doepfer has 318 
different modules, most of which are under $200. Are they not 'interesting' 
enough? One would think the '510, the first truely unique analog module in 
what....20 years, would sell 400-500 units. Errr.....nope. More like 80. And I 
absolutely *promise* you that if the price was $99, I'd have sold only 100. This 
is the point very few people understand.

If MOTM is the most expensive, most pain-in-the-ass to deal with, you have to 
*build* it and it is "boring", why am I #2 overall?

I guess I'm the only one that has these thoughts, as noboday else wants to voice 
their opinion if they are thinking the same, so I'll drop it.

Not at all, and please don't feel like you are the 'lone voice in the outback', 
so to speak. The future is not what it used to be :)
