MOTM

As you know the MOTM has no presets and forces us back to the painful task of 
trying to write patches down somehow.  So I drew up all of the MOTM modules 
and the Encore UEG in Corel Draw so I could plop modules down on a page, 
print them out and write in knob settings, switch positions and draw in patch 
cords.  Since this might be useful to anybody else who has Corel Draw I've 
put them online.  It's also possible to enter in knob settings and draw 
patchcords within Corel Draw itself then output it as a bitmapped file for 
jpeging and sending to others, or even output in PDF format.

Following are links.  The first one shows what a few of the modules look.  
It's a jpeg so anybody can view it.  The second link is to the Corel Draw 
files that have all of the modules.  You can replicate the modules and drag 
them onto the page and place them where you want, then print them out.  I've 
included two files, one is called Scale32 and one Scale40.  That's because I 
drew the modules in the exact dimensions with means you can't fit more than a 
couple on an 8x11 page.  So I scaled the page up by a certain percentage so 
you can put a lot more modules on it, but you need to enter either a 32 or 40 
into the scale setting in your printer page layout preferences so the page 
will scale down and fit nicely on a normal paper page.  Why didn't I just 
scale down the modules you ask?  Because when I did that Corel Draw in its 
stupidity didn't reduce all the line thicknesses to match, so they came out 
really thick and heavy.

Just heard your "On Reflection" recorders. Great sound !
I haven't followed the thread - it was the mention of Gentle Giant that
caught
my interest - do you plan to put up patch sheets for these sounds ?

Very Nice Elhardt!  

I may pick up Corel just for this.

What version did you save the files in?

Thanks,

JP

I used version 9.  Corel Draw is normally an expensive application that lists 
for about $500 (sells for less though).  It also includes Corel Paint which 
is about a capable as Photoshop, and includes some other stuff like about 
1600 fonts.  But sometimes if you go to a computer swapmeet you can find it 
selling quite cheaply.  Or in my case, when I bought my computer I had the 
option to pay an extra $100 and get an OEM version of Corel Draw (minus the 
manuals).

I can probably do that.  It will be my first attempt at using the patchsheets 
myself.  The patch won't be of a lot of use if you don't have a BC3 breath 
controller, or perhaps you'll have to modify it and add to it to play it 
without a BC3.  One other thing I noticed.  All 410 triple filters aren't the 
same.  I patched up an earlier sound so I could play it duophonically using 
two identical sets of modules and set the knobs exactly the same, but one of 
the voices sounded way off and was thin and lame sounding.  It just wasn't 
good.  I ended up having to turn the knobs to different positions on my 
second 410 to match the sound of my first one.  Things like this will cause 
problems especially on such touchy sounds as these.  But once I get the patch 
drawn up I'll post it.

Note: Someone thought the Recorder was done with a square wave.  As hollow as 
it sounds, no square waves were used!  Square waves make things sound too 
much like a clarinet.  But a total of 5 other waveforms were used in those 
patches.

Any chance of converting the individual module graphics to GIF or JPG
format?

I was thinking maybe I should do that too so you can paste modules together 
in Photoshop or something similar.  Being bit maps they won't scale nicely, 
especially for printing purposes, but they will still get the job done.  I'll 
provide the modules as jpegs within the week or by the weekend.

It sure would be great to have the Corel files saved in version 7 
format. I use version 7 because you can pick it up very cheaply brand 
new (I paid $24 on EBay).

I can look and see if there is an option to save them as an earlier version.  
If so I'll also post a version 7 file.  I'll let you and the list know what I 
find out.

I second that as I too am running version 7. 
And, thanks for all the work to put these together.

 I have version 8. Is this why I don't see anything when I try to open the 
files?
