HA HA HA!

I knew when Paul and I laid this one out that no two people could
agree on the layout. You should see some of the other designs I've
done already. My personal favorite is the 4U version laid out exactly
like the Moog 907. I'll do another couple of versions tonight to run
up the flagpole. Then we can have a vote.

RE: LP and HP - Ken is correct. There are 8 peaking bands in the
middle of the spectrum, tuned for maximum musical effect (I don't
know the frequencies, perhaps JH can chime in here). The LP knob
controls a different frequency passing everything BELOW the lowest
peaking band, and HP passes everything ABOVE the highest peaking
band. They are not tuned however to the exact same freq. as the
nearest peaking band. Just like a multiband console EQ conceptually,
not in terms of operation and filter type, but in terms of how the
bands are laid out.

Note that this will NOT fit on a 2U panel. There are 10 knobs, 2
jacks, a switch and an LED. Also, I hope people will not freak out
about 5 pots in a row, or 1/8" less space between pots. It really is
the best layout ergonomically IMO. We shouldn't be slaves to the
format, but make it work for us in nonstandard situations. Also, I'd
point out that the bottom knobs are not in fact 'getting down in the
jacks'. If there is a module below, the only thing there will be more
knobs!
