Modular Ed: Kick Ass 101!

Modular Ed: Kick Ass 101!

2001-04-10 by thomas white

Just finished my 101 kit and have been madly patching for the last hour. 
Powered up as usual with zero problems or difficulties and the manual was 
fine other than the 2 known and corrected typos. Solid MOTM quality as usual 
and many more uses than I had come up with before a good fiddling session.

This thing is very Fat and the noise source is so smooth! Now I can make 
some gritty Hi hats and the like :~) The 101 direct into the 410 VCF is 
something else too. I had no idea the sweeping spectrum of the 410 until I 
fed the pure full frequency white noise into it WOW!!! Now I am thinking of 
another 410 (Damn, isn't it funny how 1 new module can trigger a whole new 
cabinet full of ideas?) The pink noise is great and running both mixed into 
a 420 can be very slick.

The sample and hold is awesome and far exceeds the usual uses and abilites 
of any standard sample and hold I have ever played with. Track and Hold is 
very useful and the slew control makes my mooger control processor S&H slew 
out sound cheap. Just my opinion anyway. The level control for the sample 
and hold out is also a very useful feature and I am very happy to now have 
this module in my rack.

I have all of the 5% resistors stuffed in my 3rd 300 VCO and I can't wait to 
hear the classic 3 VCO tones tomorrow night! This is basically great mental 
therapy as a side effect. I am getting married this weekend (Duhn Duh Duhn 
Duh Duhhhhhh) and I have been totally relaxed the whole time building the 
kits tonight and the only time I was nervous was at 1st power up as usual 
with kit building. How many of you out there have had your wife or old lady 
build a kit? Of the people who have, has anyone had there spouse build 
anything more difficult than an 800 ADSR? Just curious?

I used my 100 / 420 / 320 like this on a track I did last
week for a wedding.  I will have the MP3 up at my website
soon.

My wife built one of my 800s, but that is all.
I think she may have been the first.

My wife has inspected every board in my system after every board
wash. Not because she wanted to, just because  I keep running in
and saying "Look at this thing of beauty!"

I finishing up my taxes as we speak, hopefully Uncle Sam will leave
me enough for a couple more rows...

Tomy, jonesing for solder fumes.
