MOTM

"Idiotproof"
This song uses a MOTM-120 suboctave multiplexer to generate all the
alternating, octaved(?) tones. The drums are a DR-110, and the deep kick is
a SH-101 (triggered by the accent out of the 110). The interval change in
the main "melody" (yeah, use it loosely) is caused by switching the MOTM-700
VC switch/router. I love that module--it's very useful. I always have to
remember it contains 2 identically functioning switches--not just one! The
tone of the main, brassy sound is caused by using a lag processor (MOTM-820)
as 1-pole low-pass filter, and then sending through a S&H (MOTM-100), using
an oscillator as trigger/clock source. Paul S. will have to tell you what
*that's* doing--I haven't a clue, and my oscilloscope is two rooms away.
Anyway, it sounds fun and kind of bouncy and dirty. The DR-110 is a
wonderful little machine.

"Sustained Mechanism"
This one is more of a dancey, techno number, but rather dark in tone. The
main line you hear throughout and at the beginning is FR777 being sent
through a PS-knockoff triple resonant filter (MOTM-410) with lots of
modulation; the clap's going through a Yamaha E1005 analog delay--near the
beginning, you hear only the wet clap. The hi-hats are going through a pair
of MOTM-420s, one in high-pass, the other in low-pass mode, lots of MOTM-320
LFOs modulation.

BTW--thanks much to Jeff Bergman and Rob Keeble who were both *very* helpful
in getting my relatively new Emulator II up and running. I finally found out
that I can get it to work for several hours by completely removing the case
and then reattaching it. For all that effort, the EII rewards me with a
couple of hours of play time then can't see disks anymore. I haven't had the
chance to work with it much further ;) Hopefully I'll have a night this week
I can figure out what's getting pinched in the case or whatever and try the
new OS disks Rob sent. Thanks again guys! :)
