Subject: Re: Front Panel

Norm,

Also, I think, an RS-232 connector for the serial cable?

I created a folder in the files section for front panel designs. I'm
gonna take a shot at it, too... was planning on doing a sketch or 2,
and post GIFs to get feedback; and then create a FPD file of a
complete design.

Besides multiple formats (Frac, MOTM, euro), I'm imagining there may
be more than one implementation based on feature set... fr instance,
I'll probably build a module which I'll use as a dedicated 4channel
quantizer; may well only need 4 ins, 4 outs, and a couple of
buttons/leds. but as you say, a good approach is to capture the
complete set of controls, individuals can edit/delete to taste.

anyway, thanks & looking forward to your contribution
