Greeting fellow MOTM-Schaeffer'ers.
 
I am really into panel design and glad to share anything I design.  I'm also glad to talk about the module design issues behind the panel.
 
I have just ordered my first panels from Schaeffer.  The FPD files have been uploaded for you to look at (and use or modify if you want).  I'm crossing my fingers that I will like the results, they sure cost a lot.  I put a bunch of tick marks on my dials to be MOTM like.  I was thinking this could become a bit of a contentious issue when it comes to bulk orders.  The tick marks are costly.
 
I wonder if we can standardize on a tick mark macro?  I emailed J. Haible, whose panels are awesome.  He advised me how to do my tick marks.  Now, mine are just that -- my design.  So it's completely non-standard.  I just tried to emulate the MOTM style.
 
I am just about to do a new design for the Blacet VC EG/LFO.  Somebody already uploaded a file for it!  Fantastic!  I will use that as a resource for ideas.  I will be glad to upload any alternative design I come up with.  That way we'll have plenty of choice.
 
Choice vs. standards could be difficult.  But I would be glad to go with an existing design in some cases to save us all money.
 
Looking forward to a collaborative effort!
