Tony,
Very cool indeed! Here's my comments:
- It is kinda tightly packed. I'd be willing to go for 6 stages to get more room.
- I do like the pairing of the time and level controls
- I don't think the individual stage LEDs are very useful. If you need a LED, put
one on the output so it brightens in proportion to the signal.
- I didn't get the TCV input. What's that?
- I also don't get the switch on the lower right. I initially thought it was for
exponential vs. linear but I don't get the relationship between the three choices.
Maybe this is because I haven't used Casios...
- The numbers around the knobs are OK but as I said above, reducing the number of
stages might make it look neater.
- An absolutely crucial element for such an EG is the minimum attack time. I hope
this is in the very few ms range!
- Are you planning to use the same mechanical stuff as Paul (e.g. panels, paint,
graphics, etc.)?
It would be nice to see the high quality MOTM form factor used in more compatible
modules. It would be a nice to have high quality competition to the
Doepfer/Analogue Systems/Analogue Solutions and Paia/Wiard/Blacet/FracRac stuff. I
hope there are others out there, either offered through Paul or otherwise!
