Sorry to annoy the list with a question primarily aimed at Paul, and forgive me for not paying attention, but what's the current state of power distribution boards? That is, what's the difference between a 960 and a 990, which are currently available, and why would I want one vs. the other? Thanks. Standing by with otherwise filled order form, credit card in hand. :-) --Adam

a) MOTM-960 has 4-pin connectors only (+-15V modules) b) MOTM-990 has *both* 4-pin and 6-pin (added +5V for digital modules) However, if you want a board shipped within the next 2 weeks, get a '990 because I just shipped 27 MOTM-960s and I'm making 25 more. The order form doesn't add the postage because my JavaScript sucks. It's $5. Paul S. ----- Original Message -----

You read my mind, Adam. The 960 is also much larger capacity, though, isn't it?

I just wanted to let everyone know that the circuit boards I was expecting in August have all arrived. This includes: TLN-156 Neural Agonizer (spring reverb), DB-120 (add on to MOTM-120), and TLN-854 Sword of Kahless (ribbon controller). So everything is ready to be shipped, details can be found here: www.tellun.com/motm/diy/diy.html New on the list of available PCBs is MUUB, the Multi-Use Universal Buffer. MUUB is a general purpose PCB that can be used to create a variety of op-amp based circuits for creating new modules, or adding enhancements to existing modules. MUUB is another group effort by Richard Brewster, Larry Hendry, and myself. MUUB comes in two sizes: MUUB-2 contains one dual op-amp, MUUB-4 contains two dual op-amps. When putting this together, I had a look through Jung's op-amp cookbook and Craig Anderton's books and found well over two dozen useful circuits that can be created using one or more MUUBs. I've also brain stormed several new utility modules and enhancements to MOTM modules that I'm planning to publish over the next few months that use MUUBs. I will write this all up in the MUUB user guide, someday, when I get a chance. And I'm sure that Larry and Richard are also working on some interesting MUUB designs. In the meantime, Stooge Larry suggested we have a circuit design contest to build up a pool of MUUB circuits. I think this is a great idea and I've put up the contest rules on my website (along with all currently available MUUB documentation): www.tellun.com/motm/diy/muub/muub.html Anybody can enter, since there's only one judge (me), there shouldn't be any collusion. I won't publish any of my own designs until after the contest. Scott J.

Will the MOTM-650 have polyphonic aftertouch implemented? I just checked the description on Paul's website, but it doesn't say anything... oh my, I fear the worst! Paul, if there's *any* way you could implement this, so that the AUX1-4 could be assigned to respond to poly aftertouch, please please!!! This would make this MIDI-CV interface truely unique! Here's my reasoning: I'm thinking CS-80: use 4 MOTM480, a masterkeyboard that can transmit polyphonic aftertouch (see my list below) and moulate filter cutoff on a per-note-basis. Oh what a wonderful idea for us poor souls who never could get a real Yamaha CS-80! Again, please Paul, if there's any way you could squeeze that into the 650... Here's the list of synths I found that support and transmit (only the MIDI ones..) polyphonic aftertouch: - Yamaha CS60, 80 - Yamaha DX1 - Polymoog - Ensoniq SQ80, TX10, VFX, SD, EPS, EPS-16+ up to ASR-10 - Sequential Prophet T8 - Waldorf Q, XT - Roland A-80 (the only Roland that supports it) - Yamaha MOTIF series With Best Wishes Dino __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Huge thanks to Scott for taking on the MUUB project. This is something I have wanted to do for a long time, but simply have zero time to consider adding one more product to the Stooge line. The project has evolved since my original desire to do it, mostly thanks to input from Richard Brewster and Scott's hard work. The original idea belongs to Thomas Henry who many years ago sold a small size dual op amp PCB he called the utility knife. Sadly, these are no longer available. But, the MUUB-2 has all of that and more. The MUUB-4 is just twice the fun. When you need a small mixer, input or output buffer, reversing attenuator, need to add or subtract gain, the little op amps often make the job very easy. While it does not sound all that sexy, it really does clean up a lot of modifications and make easy work of many common op amp circuits. The design contest a cool idea. I thought Scott was the one that thought of it. I have a very cool design that uses one each I know several of you will be happy to see. I do plan to make it public but not to enter it in the contest (no conflict of interest here). :-) BTW, my original name was Multiple Use Utility Buffer, but it somehow migrated in the process (or in my feeble memory). And MUUB is pronounced like the "wrong" way to say pronounce "Moog." Stooge Larry

Wait a minute... you can't do this! ... > hmmm... or maybe you can. Damn ;-) Yeah, I'm not thrilled with that either, but Paul's not a software engineer and software engineers are 'spensive. Well, unless they get excited about the problem on their own, but then you don't get much control over the output ;) I personally mind paying for bug fixes, but I've got no problem paying for features. This is the camp I think most people fall into. --mikes, a software engineer.

Let's get the damn thing out already. I sold my Expressionist two years ago in anticipation of this module. Just my opinion, Moe http://hotrodmotm.com --- In motm@yahoogroups.com, Dino Leone <d_p_leone@y...> wrote:
