Modular Synth Panels

Has anyone done an ASM2 in semi modular format. I finally got an ASM
board and i am impressed. Single board units have put me off since
the Evenfall Minimodular nothing wrong with the device, it was me) I
am looking to do a semi patchable 2600 type interface but I am also
thinking of doing it with an Ionic Performer type switching system
(since I have the parts, I think I would have to give somebody 200
switches and build concurrently to get it done though). The issue is
which version has the least failure complications; full modular, semi
modular or switch bank/matrix ?

How would you package it ?

Opinions wanted

thanks

Check out my ASM2-Wizard on my website at www.elby-designs.com. This is a semi-patched modular approach and the ARP2600 was my initila inspiration for the normalisation

I see, I thought the Wizard was a full modular implementation. It is a bit more than an Arp
(wow).

The ASM2-Wizard is a pre-patched modular. All inputs and outputs to each module are bought out to jacks on the front panel and as such that makes it a full modular system. A small splitter panel allows a few points to be multipled but in reality a much larger number would probably be really required.

All module inputs also have a normalised signal i.e. every input is connected to a suitable output from another module. This is the pre-patched configuration and allows the ASM2-Wizard to generate sounds immediately without the need for patching. Inserting a jack will disconnect the pre-patched signal although this can also be effectively achieved by simply turning the associated input attenuator to 0.

Any input can be replaced by an alternate signal by simply inserting a patch lead in to the input jack and then plugging the other end in to the desired alternate output.

The ASM2-Wizard configuration provides the best of both worlds (fully hardwired and fully modular) by allowing maximum flexibility in patching arrangements whilst offering a number of pre-patched configurations used in many sounds patches.

The pre-patch connections are derived from the ARP 2600 block diagram. Originally it was intended to layout the ASM2-Wizard panel to replicate the ARP 2600 but it was found impractical given the number of additional points available on the ASM-2 which would have resulted in a panel some 1.5m wide!!!!!!!!

Pardon my fawning but this thing is incredible. I am looking at this board and I see it is an
fantastic educational tool as well as a serious instrument, easy to modify and is laid out very
smatly. I also saw the panel is pretty cheap too. I am going to spens a lot of time on this
one.

I should point out that for customers in the US/Canada that I am able to
offer fully constructed cabinets as per that in the photos. These cabinets
come pre-drilled and ready to accept the panel, pcbs and power supply
