I'd like to hear how this project goes. As far as a MOTM fixed filter bank
goes, I remember the suggestion, "why not just buy a third octave graphic
EQ?" They do make these pretty cheap now.
By the way ....I love my dark

My comment about the DSC was based on my finding it needs other modules to
make interesting sounds with it (like LFOs or EGs as well as one or more CV
sources), it is a sound effects chip (and has those kind of sounds), and
really (IMO) doesn't warrant being gutted and rehoused (for an additional $80
or more) in a MOTM package -- I'd rather spend that money on more MOTM
modules.
Once again, if ANYONE DID gut their Blacet modules, I would buy two DSC front
panels, and a bunch of the stock 50K pots that come with Blacet kits in order
to just clear up one mess in my house.
John (I noticed everyone who answered my rhetorical question [about whether
the DSC is worth gutting out and putting in a MOTM package] in the
affirmative, is still using the original FracRack package) Barlow
