Thanks!

I don't think I've added too much since I took that picture. Maybe one or
two more, and I have three on "back-order."

I have at least six conversions I need to do.

Ha! Right on!

Maybe I should also post pictures of my in-laws standing around my pile of
modules with their "What *is* this?" frowns on their faces.

Don't let him fool you folks.  He is a perfectionist and would not let me
compromise when I was thinking of cutting a hole in a big MOTM panel
mounting the Blacet module in the hole and adding 1/4 jacks below.  Ken is
on a relentless search for excellence.  I guess that is what brought him to
MOTM.  Well, I guess that is a big part of what brought us all here.

Ken could not nail four boards together and say "good-enuff."  It would
drive him crazy.  Of course, maybe between in-laws, new baby, important job
with too many worms and viruses, and Stooges like me always buggin' him, it
could be a short drive. <snicker>

An MOTM patch a day helps keep the Doepfer away.

You know, as an inducement to finding a suitable dwelling quickly, a close 
second to the 8 CD Pierre Henry box set is daily patching of MOTM modules.

BTW, according to Moe, nothing goes with a good patch like a cold one. Don't 
forget your MOTM buddies when you brew it.

I've been thinking of a similar idea (in terms of the cabinet bolting on top) 
so let me know if you have any developments in this area.

I find that a good wheat beer goes well with electronic music! I have my DIY
panel project on hold while I try to adapt my flip-top beer bottles with
Switchcraft 112A jacks. It's not easy....

I like it! Until Paul offers them, mount one of these on a 1u blank:

How about a 1U beer opener? You could just bolt one of those older-style
Coke openers onto a blank... That's a really good idea!!

they'd have to make an MOTM brewing version first for that to happen.

A quick Web search brought this up--looks like a co. that could produce
Synthesis Technology bottle openers.  I'm sure there are others.

It's easy, but given your need to have the top planes of the jack nuts
perfectly level, you probably wouldn't like the marks the beer cap leaves in
the nut.

motm track up!

2000-05-24 by Paul Wagorn

Hi all:

I just uploaded my first motm track onto mp3.com...I got my kits about 2
weeks ago & loving them!

It's called "Mind bugs" and you can listen to it at:
http://mp3.com/puffboy

It's covered in motm - just about everything is going through it somehow...
about half way through a crazy oscillating noise comes in - it's a motm-420
self-oscillating
being modulated by the motm-320 LFO with me playing with the lfo rate

anyways, have a listen (& check out my other tracks, too!)
