Ambient music pioneer Robert Rich uses the MOTM-730 VC Divider to trigger 4 voices in synchopation, but with non-standard timing. He refers to this as the 'penny in the dryer'
effect.
John Rice shows how the combination of a MOTM-730 and the MOTM-700 Dual 2:1 Switch module can create complicated rhythms by switching in and out
different audio patches all on the 'beat'.
Module Preview: MOTM-520 Cloud Generator and MOTM-521 Cloud Generator Expansion
The MOTM-520 Cloud Generator and optional companion MOTM-521 Expander/Programmer is the first in a series of modules that use our AudioEngine
technology. The AudioEngine uses Xilinx Spartan-3E FPGAs and ARM 32-bit processors (running 40Mhz-100Mhz) to implement parallel audio processing.
The MOTM-520 implements 16 DVCOs (digital VCOs), 48 LFOs, 48 2-pole LP filters and more. The MOTM-521 (optional) provides a user interface to program
and load (via USB) 'patches' into the MOTM-520 and has 2 additional audio outputs. Expected order date is Sept. 2009. Click the tab on the left for more info.
What happened to all the CEM ICs?
The agreement between OnChip and Synthesis Technology to resale NOS CEM ICs has expired. We still have a very limited supply
left. See the ORDER page for current inventory.
Synthesis Technology announces the MOTM-1000 Series. These are Frac Rack modules compatible with Blacet
and PAiA. The modules differ from our standard MOTM format in the following:
Patching is with 3.5mm patchcords
The modules size is smaller: 3in x 5.25
Available only as assembled modules (no kits)
The Frac Series does have some things in common with our standard modules:
Same 4-pin power cable is used
Same +-15VDC power
Same signal levels (10V pk-pk audio, +5V Gate and envelopes)
Same high-quality MOTM design and construction
The MOTM-1000 Series is sold exclusively by Analogue Haven, a retail synth
store in Pomona, CA. They stock the MOTM-1000 series for immediate shipment and can ship worldwide. Please visit their site
