Yeah, -having- an empty chassis would be great, and definitely the easiest, but
-finding- one is a whole other story. I'm not even sure how many of these were
imported into Australia. I've seen two in the last six-odd years.
And I may want to mount each voice separately, I have some pretty wacky ideas.
The card edge connector has labels on each pin for +12 and -12V, trigger in,
ground, audio out etc. I was more wondering about things like impedance
matching, buffering the trigger ins etc. I know the specs for the ins and outs for the
whole rack are available, I was hoping someone here could help me with the
internal specs at the point where the voice card joins the backplane.
Worst comes to worst, I'll just wire up a power supply, a piezo and a jack and see
what happens.
Cheers,
Clae.
