[sdiy]RE: [sdiy] alligator patchbay ideas?

[rdrake]

have a look at peter blasser's stuff:

http://www.ciat-lonbarde.net/kittennettik/index.html

i think he drills multiple holes in wood and drives brass pins thru?  he also had an earlier "rollable synth" project, where individual modules were sewn to a backing like a quilt and patched together w/ alligator clips...

i continue to make little noisebox modules, which can be patched together to make noisierbox conglomerations... but i use 1/8" connectors 'cause i already have patchcords & then i can connect to my more traditional modular rig too...  is good to put the "play" back into musix...
