Hi Paul -
OK, we get it. In fact, we've been planning to interface my guitar rig with our modular at some point. So this panel would be a way of passing audio and CV to external gadgetry, eh? And perhaps the numbering implies that - the MOTM multiple is number 910, after all.
Now - We're guessing that Brit "loom" is akin to Yank "snake" - sound about right?
And now that we're thinking about it, back in 2007, Dave Wellington sent us a couple stooge brackets and I'll bet he included this panel in the package just for fun. Maybe that's how we came by it.
Well - maybe it's time to figure out if and how we'll use the thing and than drill out the jack holes.
We'll take pics.
Thanks much, Paul
Bill and Will
