I'd buy some. The integrated bracket sound like a great idea, but how much thinner would the panel be? I assume a 16-hole version would have the same dimensions as a 1U multiple? Then that's the one I'd prefer, because it matches better with the existing 5U grid: same as the multiples, and the bottom two rows line up well with the bottom two rows of jacks on other 5U panels.

Or in 1U you could fit THREE LPGs (with compromise(s)).

I remember getting some gear with black 1/4" plugs where the panel was punched but no jack installed. They could be geld into an hd panel. I see it as a temporary solution as a proper panel is my preference but fpd panels can get hugely pricey and BC can't make every panel (yet). >> >> --- In ModularSynthPanels@yahoogroups.com, "David" <decho3@...> wrote: >> > >> > Yes, please.

I am going to do a run for my own self, but they'll all be blanks that I plan on using paint markers to label. To start I'll do a run of 1U w/ 16 holes. If there's enough interest they'll be real cheap, but painted real nice. >> > > >> > > Nice work Gary! >> > > >> > > Scott Deyo >> > > contact@ >> > > The Bridechamber >> > > www.bridechamber.com >> > > Jealous Edison Record Kompany >> > > www.jealousedison.com >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > On Jun 26, 2012, at 9:00 AM, Mongo wrote: >> > > >> > > > I have to think about that one - >> > > > The biggest thing that keeps me from buying more panels is the density.

I've had a few duds in sales lately.

I will do presales on them now, and only do them once I reach a threshold of 10 orders. The presale price will be 10% lower. >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > What's my next module?
