There is still work to clean the site up some more. I spent way too much
time on it
yesterday, I have to move on to other stuff. But I agree with all your
points. I will
have time next week on "vacation" (yea...right!) to clean up every page,
remove
all the references to kits, etc.

The Cloud Generator Expander allows control of all the internals of the
'520.
I uses USB or a panels editor (4x20 LCD and encoders). The filters are for
controlling
bandwidth of noise and LFOs into the SPREAD and CHAOS portions of the
modulation
matrix.

I don't have the panel 100% designed, I am working on the schematics today
and tomorrow
and maybe someone will be able to create one. It is a 3U wide panel, has 5
jacks along the bottom
row (SAW OUT, TRI OUT, CHAOS CV OUT, AUX CV IN and PATCH SELECT IN.

There is a USB connector (type 'B') and 3 NKK JSF-15SP2 square tact switches
(above the jacks
in a horizontal row). The top portion is the LCD and 6 rotary encoder: 3
along the top edge
and 3 along the bottom edge of the LCD (like an Oberheim Xpander). The
display is 4 lines x 20char
and is 'reverse' backlit (yellow-green characters on a black background).

The FFB is there because now that it is not a kit, I can make it in
SMT/trhu-hole 'hybrid'
for a LOT less than before.
