[sdiy] My new Moog 960 sequencer clone module project.. slowly but surely ..

[john slee]

Like yourself and David I also wondered about a panel PCB, being thoroughly
allergic to wiring. But sometimes finding parts that are both what you want
*and* close enough to each other in height... can be difficult

Regardless, it is a really lovely build, as Jean-Pierre’s builds always
seem to be, and I particularly like that much or all of the logic stuff has
been wrapped up into firmware.
