[sdiy] 3 questions, Formant and MOTM

[Rob Mantel]

Hi all, 3 questions:

I am in the process of redoing my formant synth; new case, frontpanels,
knobs, pots, jacks etc, everything a little bit in the style of the MOTM (my
next project when this is done).

Q1: I believe I read somewhere the MOTM uses different colored (even
bicolor) leds for different signals. I can not seem the find the place I
read that anymore, could anyone tell me what colors are used for what kind
of signal?

Q2: I read the MOTM uses alcoswitch PK/ES -90B knobs. I am planning to use
PK/ES-70B and some PK/ES-60B knobs on my formant, however on some pictures I
saw it looks like these look different (apart from size) than the 90B ones.
I can not find a place where I can just order 1 of the 90B ones to look at
it myself, so has anyone seen these 3 knobs and tell me if they really are
the same apart from size as you would expect looking at their product code?

Q3: This is probably too much to ask, but maybe someone is bored... I just
finished the design for the 1st frontpanel for my new formant in
Frontplatten Designer. Since it is a 6 units high 19" panel, it wont be
cheap to have them make it and since I am new to designing front panels, new
to this program etc etc I am nervous about ordering it. If there is any
bored FPD expert on this list, could you please have a look at the design
and see if I didn't do anything obviously wrong? I put it on the web at

Thanks,
