MOTM

Paul S. has asked me to take the lead in putting together the 
official MOTM CDRom.  This CDRom will include all manuals for all 
the kits.  

In addition we would like to include photographs showing assembly of 
the various modules.

We would also like to include numerous sound files of the modules in 
use.  It would be a big added plus if those contributing sound files 
could include patching diagrams to go with them.

We would also like to include a gallery of MOTM systems.

We are asking you to help us by contributing materials for this 
project.

If anyone has any suggestions for additional material to include 
please post it to this group.

Anyone who wishes to contribute should send their files to me, not 
to Paul S.

You can email them to me at phaneber@....  Please include a 
description of what you are sending.
If you have a lot please burn it on a CDRom and mail it to me.

My email box is only so big.

Preferred format for photos is TIFF, but hi-res JPGs are acceptable.

Preferred format for sound files is tracks on an audio CD but high 
quality JPEGs will be accepted.

We may used uncompressed audio on the CDRom, or we may use MP3s.  It 
depends how much is submitted.  If we use MP3s they will be at a 
high rate.
Patch diagrams can be any format you wish as long as I can read it.
I will put all patch diagrams into a common format.

Pictures of your MOTM system should be labelled according to the 
following:

Make your filename MOTMxxxx with the xxxx representing the last four 
digits of your phone number.  If I get a whole bunch of files all 
labelled MyMotm or MySystem, I'll have to rename them all.  

No submissions will be credited.  Paul S. and I will make the final 
determination as to what gets included.  

The deadline for submissions is June 30, 2005.  The target date for 
publishing the CDRom is July 31, 2005.

This CDRom can be a great resource, but we need your help, 
especially with unique and interesting sounds and patches.

Thanks in advance for your submissions.

To clarify a point:

for security, we do not wish to identify anyone's MOTM ("Hey, come steal
this bad boy!").

As far as "receiving credit" for submissions: There will be a master
"Thanks to the following.." *IF* you want to include your name (no emails
addresses, I promise).

Some folks are just shy about this, they wish to contribute but be silent.
That's OK.

So, the *default* is "anonymous donor". If you want credt, I'll give you
credt, just say something like "OK to post credit" with the submission.

As an incentive: everyone that submits and gets on the CD (which 99.99% of
the content will) I will give you a free copy of the Robert Rich/Ian Boddy
mostly MOTM CD that will be released this fall. I'll keep track and mail
them out. They finished laying down the tracks today, but Robert averages
3 months of mastering. It's more like old Berlin-school TD than say
'Outpost' or 'Bestiary'. The MOTM-730 VC Divider is the star of the show,
the 4 parts of the CD are 'anchored' by a complex 9-voice (!) polyrhythm
from the '730 driving into Robert's MOTM. The entire piece is in microtune
(4 different tunings) driven by the MOTM-650 prototype. Robert promises
much WaveWarper (I have a snippet of "distorted bells play by degranged
monkeys weilding Coke bottles") and so it should be interesting :)

Let's fill the CDR up with lots of stuff!
