Re: Space Station Re: the finite nature of things

I just cracked open my Modulator (XP200) and my Space Station (XP300)
and the PCBs are identical. The Space Station has three DIP sockets 
populated
with memory and the Modulator has only one (there are two additional 
caps
on the Space Station associated with them memory/sockets). The EPROMS
are 27C256's. I'm really tempted to hack the Modulator into a second 
Space
Station.

I love the Space Station. I pump a Rin Gong equipped with a contact mic 
through
it before my EDPs. Makes for wonderful sound textures and beds.

BTW My Space Station has been flawless since it's purchase. The 
Modulator I got
from a friend. It occasionally flakes out (usually by resetting or some 
such thing).
Must be a flakey component.
