Hi All.

I've uploaded two low quality shots taken from my phone of my
semi-portable cabinet during (ongoing) construction. One pic shows just
the module cabinet (upside down) and the other shows the empty module
cabinet with the CV keyboard to give an idea of the final product. It
holds 15 spaces worth of modules. Why not 16? I can't remember.
Probably an error of arithmetic. The two sections are the same
dimensions (minus depth) and the module and keyboard cabinets will be
able to latch together - kind of like an EML-101 - so it can be lugged
around. There's space behind the keyboard in the lower cabinet to stow
some patch cables. Most time consuming aspect of construction is
certainly applying finish.

The keyboard circuit is a kbd2e board from e4m when they were still in
business. That board includes an LFO and a VCA as well so...in the
upside-down pic you'll see a gap that's going to be filled with an FPD
panel with cascaded mults - CV / Gate normaled into first positions,
portamento knob, lfo rate and shape controls. The LFO is going to be
hardwired into the VCA modulated by keyboard gate with a simple panel
set RC rise time for fade in vibratos etc. There are also x,y, gate
output jacks for the Joystick provided with great speed by Wiard
(Thanks, Grant!).

Inspiration came from John Blacet (Time Machine won't fit in the SKB
popup).
