Mono vs Stereo

[Doug Ferrell]

Doug,
	Hmmm.  Why not build it with individual outs and then make a mixer with
stereo out and pan on each input channel?  Maybe even a set of little 4
input mono mixers would be useful in conjunction with this.  If you already
have an outboard mixer with effect sends, I'd definitely make the drum kit
with individual outputs...  I'm learning that you can never have too many
mixers around.

Hello All!

I was originally planning on building my percussion synth
with stereo output, allowing me to pan each *drum* to
wherever desired, but now I'm not so sure. I want to build
various effects to further modify the sound (tape echo,
leslie, spring reverb, etc.), but that means each effect
will also have to be built with two channels. This results
in much higher cost and complexity, as well as less ease of
use.

Is the extra flexibility and range of sounds worth the
trouble? What is the norm or standard with this or is there
one? Has anyone had any thought provoking experiences with
this? Any and all thoughts and suggestions are appreciated!
