FW: [motm] 5xx series in a MOTM format

2012-08-18 by Ken Tkacs

>>>Could you enlighten us as to what modules you converted over from these
other formats to MOTM? This is news to me.--Greg

 

Converting other modules to MOTM format was all the rage a decade ago. For
me it started with finding old Moog, Roland &c schematics on the web and
trying to build MOTM-style versions of them. This led to a long series of
emails between J. Larry Hendry and me about converting a couple of PAIA and
three Blacet Research modules in particular - the Klangwerk, Dark Star, and
the divider. Larry and I worked out a few little extras for these (a switch
here, an LED or extra output there), and worked out different ways of making
our own front panels. Sometime later, Larry & "The Stooges" turned this into
a cottage industry, and now of course you can get much better panels from
Bridechamber than we were making by spray-gluing paper to metal back in the
day. I used to have a tutorial of how to do this on my old website, but once
people started 'organizing' and having panels professionally silk-screened,
I dropped that method and of jumped on board with the better panels for
sure.

There are still lots of folks on this list who have fantastic stuff on their
websites showing how they expanded their MOTM systems way beyond the
official offerings. This is not a complete list and is in no particular
order, but if you're interested:
