Re: [motm] Re: I finished my synthesizer!

2006-12-23 by Richard Brewster

JK, folks, JK.  But just at the moment I have no outstanding 
construction projects.  The darned thing is bigger than I ever imagined 
it could be.  There are eight 2U slots left to fill and I will add more 
MOTM modules as they come out.  My plan now is to spend more time 
discovering sounds.  There is that MIDI thing (aka MOTM-650) to figure 
out.  There are two Blacet Miniwaves with 10 ROMS in each to explore.  
There is something called a MOTM-510.  There is a CGS Bi-N-Tic filter.  
And O, that ZerOscillator.  I have yet to fully grok my Blacet Time 
Machines and the Encore Frequency Shifter, and I am fuzzy on how to make 
good use of voltage controlled envelope generators (I have three 
kinds).  It's time for listening and learning.  Just today I was 
comparing the sounds of all the VCF's I've got.  It is quite a study.  I 
know all these modules in theory.  In practice it is a different matter 
altogether.
