MOTM

Hello, I'm looking to start a MOTM modular system, but I'd like to 
have a VC-ADSR module. Is there any way to get something like this 
that will work with MOTM?

Hi Argitoth,

Oakley makes a kit. And the Moon Modular one looks really nice but it's
DotCom/Moog/COTK/etc sized so you'd have plan ahead how you'd fit the wider
width into your rack.

I got a pair of the Oakley VC-ADSRs from krisp1 in some nice
Bridechamber panels, and they're pretty sweet.  Not only is the
voltage control handy, but I got mine with the optional switch between
fast and slow envelope times, for more options when doing long, drifty
stuff.

They came fast and were built immaculately.  And with the pound being
down, the price was right even for shipment to the US.

Thanks for the help!

So, I want to DIY my first module, 310 uVCO to be specific. Besides
solder and tools, what do I buy from MOTM to make it possible to
complete a module?

-PCB
-Front Panel
-Extra Parts
-Knobs
-PWR-20 4-conductor power cable?
-BR-1 Large Bracket?
-Wire Assortment???
-etc.????

Hi there - we have a MOTM800 mouser-oriented BOM that we were
developing and could be used for reference.  here:
http://www.dragonflyalley.com/images/MOTM800/MOTM800BOM.xls

But this BOM might be a little confusing... so if you really want to
use it, we'll review it and finish it up.

Will and I first built a power supply.  Then an 830.  That turned out
to be a great into module.  Then we then built our 800s - but we
immediately complicated them by adding modifications... also a great
learning experience - but unnecessary.

But even with a power supply and those two modules built, you don't
have anything that makes sound yet, of course <g>.  So I understand
your interest in an oscillator right away but if you're really just
starting out, I'd advise to get a couple of the simpler modules out of
the way first.  You'd need an EG (800) for your oscillator anyway...

If you're truly starting out - and starting out with DIY in general,
we could look over where we bought our tools and everything over the
weekend.  And send you the URLs - I think we got everything but some
allen wrenches online.

And if you tell us the module you want to start with, we'll put
together a Mouser-BOM for you to get you started.

We have lots of pictures on our site that might be helpful.

http://www.dragonflyalley.com

We recently completed our 310s but we haven't tested them yet.

Let us know if we can help somehow.

Oh - and yes - the 310 takes the smaller bracket and also involves
installing a tempco resistor - not difficult, but you'd need the
special "silicone grease" to do it.

Bill (and Will in absentia)
