The spot welder is just an old Harbor Freight model I picked up used and abused at a price I couldn't refuse.
Signal path is a clusterfuck, since it uses a loom prototype; that's an 8 in, 8 out matrix switch that at present uses a random generator to select from eight "hard wired" paths, which are then selected when externally triggered. Here's a screenshot of an eight channel spread recorded with a single input (which was patched into channel 1, at top). You can see some of the channels are recalcitrant, indicating I need to make some adjustments to one of the noise generators that contributes to the random signal.
So that thing is feeding an 8 channel line mixer with a few builds patched onto various channels, a Sour Cloth, Dirty Doper, Tetanus Booster, Mudlark, a ring mod prototype and a VCA prototype. I was using a pitch to MIDI machine (Roland VP-70) to trigger a sampler feeding into that mess, a Crustacean, and at one point I fed a Model D MIDI from the Roland GM-70. Triggering was via an RD8.
This was all in conjunction with a friend's set-up which supplied additional source plus a side feed.
So TL;DR the signal path is borderline unmappable.

Unmappable Signal Path is a great name for a project.

I think those must be the HR's drum pads peeking over the upper edge, but I'm only guessing.
I sometimes regret trading away my MMT-8, but I did not really deserve to own it, having never used it to its full potential. Would be more fun to mess around with now than it was back then. The ignorance of youth!

I think you're correct. I too mildly regret cutting my MMT-8 free. One year I'll snag a broken one and have a go at fixing it.¾ dead wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2026 7:22 pm I think those must be the HR's drum pads peeking over the upper edge, but I'm only guessing.
