MOTM

Here Here!

I have been dying for a quality vocoder and am not willing or able to find 
and buy a classic. MOTM are the best analog tools/modules I've ever played 
with and I could only imagine what Paul and JH could come up with. Count me 
in on wanting one too. I think 5u High by 10u wide is acceptable and 
required for the necessary panel space needed for all of the controls. I 
better sit back and relax, my pupils are swelling and my heartrate 
increasing as I speculate the future of MOTM vocodability :~)
