Subject: 19" wide MOTM utility panel

From: "Paul Schreiber" <synth1@...

Hmmm.....this has me thinking......(hide your checkbook!)

Moog modulars have these little "utility" panels across the bottoms
of the cases. Stuff like >>>>multiples<<<<, DC voltage sources,
and a reversing attenuator (along with a clever "ganged" attenuator).

So, how about a 1U tall, chock-full-of-MOTM-stuff, 19" wide panel?

a) more power connectors
b) multiples
c) DC source
d) reversing atten.

I like the idea of 1 "running normalization" path for the 1V/Oct
"keyboard" CV that the VCO/VCFs want to always use.

OK Dave! Start drawing! Just keep the "knob stuff" off to one side
because they will be on a pc board like the other modules. 2 knobs
side-by-side will take up 2U of the 10U width, and that's enough
(I would place the 'knob end' under the MOTM-900 so as not to mess up the
patch symmetry).

Price range? I can have the sheet metal guy quote it, get close enough.

Just remember, that Switchcraft jacks are $$$ and add up fast!

I'm thinking of:

DC RVATN J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J

In order for the knobs & jacks to fit, I would use the smaller diameter
ones.
But I will have to see if it is possiple. If not, jack-a-mania!
