MOTM

Damn. This is harsh news for a guy who's waiting for my back ordered power supply to fire up the 5U system I just started building. I thought I was making the right decision going with MOTM for my  modular that I've just started ($1,600 invested in modules sitting in my unpowered cabinet). Now its starting to feel a little bitter sweet. 
Somebody tell me I still made a good decision to go with MOTM over the Synthesizers.com line. I was a little hesitant at first due the higher prices of MOTM modules, but had heard that they were vastly superior to the others. But now I hear I invested in a company that is about to drop the 5U focus. Ouch man.

Where did I say this?

a) if you don't own any MOTM modules, then you still can get all the ones 
*everyone else has*.

b) .com has released like 3 new modules in 6 years. He is not exactly 
cranking out new stuff, either. The latest quantizer module is the first new 
one since the 960 sequencer stuff and that was 3-4 years prior.

c) there are still 4 new MOTM modules in the pipeline: The 102, the BPF, the 
CG and the MT. I'll bet these 4 will ship long before .com has 4 new ones to 
ship, unless I'm wrong. Then I'm wrong :)

After Paul H. had the disabling stroke, and I had to change jobs 
(unrelated), I had to drop the full kits. I figured: no Modcan kits, no .com 
kits, so why no MOTM kits so 'terrible'? But if it turns out that 99% of 
MOTM customers are *because* of the kits, then I guess I'm f-ed. But my 
*hope* is that it's because of the MOTM sound and build quality and although 
the kits were a big initial attraction, that alone is not just cause to no 
longer buy from be assembled, even if analog (ie the BPF).

It's a gamble, but it's all I can do at *this stage* in my life. Things in 
April 2010 are *vastly different* in my personal life than when I began in 
Feb. 1998. I may no longer be in 'MOTM heyday' but I am still here trying to 
make a go at it.
