Cool idea guys!
Having a fairly non-traditional setup, I'd be happy to add my layout.
If nothing else, it'll bug the purists. I've got a large, angled
main cabinet with two straight side cabinets stacked on the left. My
modules sort of fan out from the eight main MOTM VCOs which are
roughly in the center. There are VCAs, VCLFOs, VCFs, clocks, EGs and
other controllers, and then finally the mixers and odd stuff -
Wogglebug, alternate VCOs, Freq Shifter, etc.
Sometimes it's extremely efficient, but not always! Sometimes it
invites "rat's nest" patching! Still, it seems to allow me to flow
from the VCOs or, alternatively, from the "normal" VCF bank ('440s,
'420, '410s) when they become the audio source.
I can't wait to get other's ideas about this subject, because there
certainly isn't a single right way. Besides, I'm open to change!
