OK, since we're talking about the next panel run, I've been wondering ifthere was any kind of demand for a passive breakout panel for the Kenton Pro-2000MIDI-to-CV? I know the stooges have already designed a great panel forthe Encore Expressionist and, since Paul S. highly recommends the Kentonproducts, I was wondering how many other MOTMers are like me and use theKenton.

I'm currently using a homebuilt 1U high x 19" wide panel to bring myPro-2000's outputs "around to the front". This is a strictlypassive panel with no circuitry involved and it sits in a separate rack becauseit just doesn't fit in with the rest of my modules. I've toyed with theidea of creating something similar to Dave and Larry's Expressionist panel...inother words, a 2U wide MOTM-format panel that would integrate well with therest of my modular. I have attached a crude bitmap image of what I havebeen envisioning (please excuse the low resolution; I wasn't sure if a largerimage would make it through the "yahoo groups censors".)
Is anyone else interested in this? If so, we might be able to takeadvantage of the economies of scale Larry talked about. Perhaps theStooges have already designed one of these as a one-off and would be willing toadd them to the next run???
Just my $0.02.

I’ve thought of thistoo. I like the idea of having all theKenton outputs right there in my MOTM rack. The down side is that it would takeup 2U of space that could be used for another module.
Larry has previously posted apicture that shows the Kenton outputs mounted on the rack ears to bring them tothe front. This idea makes use of existing space.
I haven’t done either one yetbecause frankly I’m undecided on which way I want to go. I am leaning toward therack ear idea for two reasons. First space is a premium in my setup. Second I didn’twant to purchase $$$ a blank panel for this because my homebrew panel graphicssuck so it would not compliment my MOTM modules.
However, if someone were todo a panel run I could be persuaded to go the breakout panel route!
Another $0.02
