Have been trying to follow the thread about the 450 being shelved but have just seen on the website updated 5/06/2006 6 New Modules including the 450: MOTM-450 Fixed Filter Bank $379 kit $499 assembled. Difficulty 5/5 Estimated delivery: Summer 2006. I must have missed something on the list, whats going on? cheers Keith http://home.freeuk.net/lowpass

a) it should not be on the website, my mistake. On of my goals the next 2 months is to revamp the website, add more content and do a general housecleaning. b) the status is this: if it does come out, which would be next year, it will be in Frac rack because of the cost of the pots/jacks/knobs have *doubled* since it was designed. Frac makes more sense. Paul S.

Argh! Now it's "new design in Frac only"! I think it used to be "MOTM format first, Frac later with subset functionality". On top of that whole AudioEngine thing, it feels like the future of large-format analog synthesis is not good at SynthTech. I have to go lie down now. skw

I would like to know if it will be Frac first then MOTM that might be a deciding factor as I thought Frac was just a side adventure... I expect Frac to be 40% of my total sales within 12 months. Where is Frac sold at now? www.analoguehaven.com dale

Frac makes more sense. Still, that's pretty sad when you can't buy MOTM modules in MOTM format, from the inventor of the MOTM format. But, I'm hoping for something better than the 450 when the audio engine comes out, in MOTM format of course. I don't do frac.

I wonder if anybody would be interested in buying my prototype on which the MOTM version would have been based. It's 19" 1U format, with input, output jacks, bypass switch and the 10 potentiometers in a row. It has a very nice Schaffer panel, and otherwise it's "open frame". Runs from +/-15V, i.e. electrically MOTM-compatible. Same knobs I've used for my JH-5. Looks very "valuable" when put into a rack (;->), and would be considerably more expensive than a series MOTM version would have been. (Just think of what that Schaeffer panel cost me, and all the time I've put into this.) Don't get me wrong: I haven't decided anything, and I'm just testing the waters. But over the years I've built such a lot of stuff, and I all love it dearly, but it's getting more and more, and some of it has to go. So with that talk about the MOTM FFB not going to happen, I thought maybe someone might be interested in this. Let me know - if there's interest, I can make some photos. JH.
