For now...

Lady and Gents,

I have finally completed all modules and assembly for my modular, which I
have decided to name the Eclectic Music Box (I know, stupid -but i couldn't
help it).

Most of the picts are up, although there is one section missing and another
area shown before final installation.  If you choose to take a peek scan the
entire section for some close-ups:

The top strip is still slated for a vast array of mults and I/Os to the
other synthesizers, as well as my trigger to Midid note lessage converter,
but that's WAY dow the line. It all went (pretty much) painlessly, although
I did have some mechanical hick-ups misjudging what i had room to plop in
behind the faceplates in a couple of areas.  I have fixed all that now, but
it did take reassembly of some breadboards.  This thing consists of modules
from Analogue Solutions, Analogue Systems, Blacet, Buchla, Doepfer, MOTM,
Oakley, plus six that I built myself.

But alas, I am already planning an add-on cabinet to rest on top of this
one, one more row with the following decided upon thus far.  Some are
already owned and were pulled during several incarnations of the system,
some are to be homebuilt, some will be purchased:

ASys Chorus/Reverb
ASol Unity gain mixer
ASys EG (will be modified for end pulse out and overall range)
Blacet Miniwave
Homebrew 6 ch processor
Homebrew dual comparator
Doe A-192 CV to Midi
Mults
Borg Filter

In the meantime there are no more excuses... it's time to start writing
again!

best,

P
