Subject: RE: [motm] MOTM compatible module

I'm jumping in a little late and half-cocked here, but...

I'd think I'd like to see it shortened to 5 segments (I.E., loose segments
5, 6, and 7) and have a "trigger out to next EG" added to put another in
series.

I think that the graphic should stay, definately.

LEDs are pretty.

Making the whole thing 3 or 4U wide is better than squashing the knobs
vertically. I like fat knobs. (Or is that phat knobs?)

Loops are excellent-- although I don't know much of the loop functionality
is compromised by removing segments-- perhaps more segments could be kept if
they would fit in a very wide (4U) panel. Most likely, making the knobs
accessable to someone with heavy / large fingers is most important-- that's
part of the MOTM attraction to me.

Because the current MOTM form factor gives us 4 knobs vertically w/ room for
jacks and whatnot below... perhaps you could have a 4U panel with the first
4 time / level knobs in the first 2U, and the latter 4 time / level knobs in
the second 2U. I don't know where the switches would end up...

Thanks for letting me blurt my random 2 cents!
