MOTM

White Noise is the same thing. Gaussian implies within some bandwidth (like
20Mhz).

Making a TB-808 snare.

I defer to Paul on that one. I can say tell you that in a statistics class 
(or probability, I forget which) about ten years ago the instructor informed 
us that several books referred to the Gaussian distribution as the bell 
curve, but some high school and undergraduate books were calling it the 
"mound shaped distribution."

New meaning to the term "top of the heap!"

hokay, maybe i'll pass on that then...

this wouldn't be a MOTM #808..?
are we branching into percussion modules..?

finally another crap question:
is there any reason from an electrical point of view why i can't make my own
MOTM power distro by twisting the four cables together..? the advantages
(after learning the trick with the drill and the door handle) are that the
cable is far more flexible and doesn't get caught, like those tie-wrapped
ones do - so what's the catch then, phasing problems from inductance causing
MOTM brown outs..?

and while i remember, i forgot that i'd like to cash in my current motum
points and apply them to that VCO you'll be shipping in a couple of weeks
(if that's okay)

cheers all
