MOTM

>Several ideas come to mind:
>1) turn the joystick around 180 degrees, or

I tried holding it behind my back, but my arms got tired!

>2) turn the keyboard around (now they match at least), or

I wrote a max patch that does this years ago. Loads of fun!

>3) stand on your head (think of what a great stage gimmick this would be), or
>4) open up the joystick and move the one wire (and I'm pretty sure there's

I should've guessed this'd do it...

Cool thanks, I'll give that a shot. Will 7.5 volts still trigger the EG?

Sorry! To my credit, I did take the MOTM out to about 4 gigs with a
(short-lived) acid jazz band I had going. In the main band I gig with now,
I play bass 90% of the gig, and just use the electronics as ocaisional
improv spice. Before the Micro, I was seriously considering building an
adjunct MOTM into an SKB pop-up, may still do that.
