hi,
just added an oakley/motm style neural agonizer fpd to the 'files'
folder. you'll want to check dimensions just to be sure. it's the
panel i have, but i havn't had time to build the module yet... anyone
know that problem? anyhow, hopes this helps.

If a final version can be verified, I'm wondering if a group order  
can be put together to save money. I'll be getting 2 of these panels  
soon.

If you just got the Corel Draw version from Dave Bradley you should be able
to dump a complete HPGL file, or partial HPGL files, and greatly reduce the
FPE cost.

just to clarify:
when i say 'i've got that panel', i mean i have it in bubblewrap
alongside the reverb tanks and circuit boards stashed away waiting to
be built. i just need the time for something like that. steve thomas
made the panel, along with many others for me, and deserves a plug
here. http://www.cncpanels.co.uk/ 
as for checking dimensions, this is the fpd i sent to steve, and it
fits my system. my system is based on the motm/oakley standard, but i
stress *based*. i hope the design is of use to others, but check it first.
and by the way, thanks for all the ideas thrown about here.
andrew.

Thanks John, but I have an Agonizer panel already. Bought it long ago, along with the PCBs.
 
 Panels that I don't have are Bi N Tic, an Oakley 3x VCA. 3x LFO, and some EFM stuff. I'd like to get a silkscreen Bi N Tic, but for the others I'd probably be happy with a homebrew panel and label. Surprisingly, the Oakley EG panel label that I printed on my inkjet is still looking pretty good.

Hello,

I've got Bi N Tic silkscreened panels. It uses a CGS Mixer PCB to provide 
Saw and Square Outs from the VCO, and ditches the Linear FM. See the pics in 
the Files section, under The Bridechamber. I'm not sure of the price til I 
hear back from my painters/silkscreeners, but it should be around $20-25.

The Oakley designs you mention will be done in the next run, in a month or 
two.

Cheers,
Scott

Re: [ModularSynthPanels] Re: Neural Agonizer FPD

I've uploaded a file "TLN-156_2.fpd" in the files section. I based it  
on Richard Brewster's 3U wide MOTM 480 expansion panel. I changed the  
text and the arrangement to match the standard TLN-156 panel as seen  
on tellun.com. I used Dave Brown's HPGL tick marks for each pot, and  
coded my own HPGL box for the SERIES/PARALLEL switch.

If anyone's interested, I'd appreciate it if they'd review it to see  
if there's anything that seems wrong or out of place. One thing I  
didn't bother doing was to make the tick mark numbers smaller than  
the knob labels. Also, the name of the module (at the bottom)  uses  
the same size font for both lines, instead of the second line being  
slightly smaller. These could be easily changed if anyone wants that.

Here's the price breakdown:
1-4 = $105.58 each
5-9 = $95.02 each
10-19 = $84.46 each

These prices don't include shipping or tax. As long as the person  
buying this isn't in Washington state, tax shouldn't be an issue. I  
don't know what shipping will be, or the cost of shipping individual  
panels out to people if they want to do a group buy. Hopefully, it  
would be less than the price break for bulk ordering. Anyone know the  
cost of shipping (in a cheap yet safe way [USPS?]) a 3U FPE panel?

Another thing someone mentioned is the possibility of seeing if Moe  
can give us the Corel file for the original TLN-156 artwork, or even  
better, convert it into an HPGL file and send it over. That could  
make this panel much cheaper. I think I read on the MOTM list that  
he's on vacation now, so maybe this can be put on hold until he comes  
back.

Anyway, I'm going to get 2 of these eventually. To get the price  
break, we'd need at least 3 more of these being ordered. I'm willing  
to undertake the group buy if it seems feasible.

You mentioned them both.  I always use 3 mm text with a 0.9 x-scaling 
for the controls and 2.5 mm text for the tic marks.  I also use 0.2 
inch mounting holes. Otherwise looks good to me.

I just got an email from frontpanelexpress yesterday that I almost 
deleted unread as spam.  You might want to order before August 1st.

"The cost of aluminum has increased in recent months by 60%.  Because 
of this increase, we must adjust our pricing schedule to offset this 
expense.  Our new pricing will be effective August 1, 2006."

I have more FPE panels than any other kind: 26 of them.  (20 MOTM, 14 
Stooge, 1 Cyndustries, 1 Encore).  I don't know if I'll do any more DIY 
panels.  I've made good use of Front Panel Express the last four years 
(and Stooge, too).  With kits dwindling and FPE prices increasing, I may 
be adding mostly assembled MOTM panel modules from now on, mainly from 
Synthtech of course.  But who knows what Cynthia, Encore, or Blacet 
might come out with in MOTM format.
