I've decided to add individual outputs for each of the bandpass
filters. This adds an additional 40 jacks to the panel and requires
2.5U of width. I don't want to start making panels in multiples of 1/2
U, nor do I want to try to add an additional 2U and and try to make
everything fit by squishing everything closer together. Instead I've
added an additional 3U and added extra space between the three
sections (jack field at the left, pot field in the middle, main
controls on the right).
I've posted a couple of layouts of this 8U wide monster. The first
puts the jack field in the standard MOTM grid. The second uses a
staggered grid. I think I prefer the staggered grid.

the panel today (plastic prototype), then I'll need to hook up all
those pots and jacks, that could take a while.
