A modular synthesizer format developed by Paul Schreiber's Synthesis Technology company. The format is somewhat similar to the Dotcom format in size and appearance; it uses the same module height of 8.75", but the horizontal unit is narrower at 1.75". Synth Tech's own modules use an appearance standard similar to the Dotcom's, with white graphics on a black background, but the fonts, graticle styles, and other details are different. By convention, most MOTM modules group their patch cord connections at the bottom of the module, which somewhat reduces patch cord clutter. 1/4" phone jacks are used for all signal interconnections.
