Hi Tobias and MOTM group,

I think ACS module are really made for experimental use ! I think specialy
tabout the SSI feature of their TM116 sequencer directly herited from the
Serge, to make very complex sequences .

I had the same "problem" with color, but finaly i found a way to solve this: i
have now a black cabinet for MOTM modules and cheaffer panels , and a "white
cabinet" also to contain ACS modules and other control modules...It is Yin and
Yang = Zen modular synth . But it look good !

Bananas are great for logic signals like triggers and gates : you can stack
them and they ar very reliable too. from my experience i will stay with bananas
for all "logic " signals , converting to jacks only when required...

I get a 1U Patch panel from ACS ( white color) to perform Jack to bananas
conversion and multi jack too. This item is not listed on their site , but if
you ask for they can provide ...
