Modular Synth Panels

hey group,

panel choices in different formats are really opening up!
laurie biddulph is doing it up for cgs in euro format now, which is
great.
metalbox and bananalogue have some cool stuff, too, though they may
just be assembled modules.
anyone else? any comments on those? this is the group to let everyone
know! :)

the bridechamber's vc resistor board is now released, and many more
modules are on the way in motm and (soon) dotcom formats. cabinets and
more parts kits available very very soon, as well as mounting brackets
and such. the 'news' frontpage will soon be updated. i may do some
other formats next year, but nothing that will step on anyone else's
toes. expansion into more pcb's and a circuit-bent/bending section is
coming.

so yeah, keep talking, check everyone out, it's a great time to be
modular!

I got an assembled Bananalogue Serge VCS in Frac format 2 days ago [1]. It
is built like a TANK; the faceplate is beefy, and the 4 PCBs (one small,
three tiny) are arranged so they structurally support each other. There
are *no* wires anywhere on the board except for the power lead. Nice bit
of engineering, that. But just taking it out of the packaging, it has a
certain heft.

I've used it as an LFO, as an env, as a VCO, and, without knowing quite
why or how, as a waveform mangler. It is capable of dozens of other uses
I have not yet discovered, but that's the whole point, I think. It's
impressive as all hell, and I intend to get another one.

Hell yes.

Look at Kens CGS35-Euro
"<http://www.cgs.synth.net/modules/cgs35_euro_vcf.html>", sounds like a
similar construction and I am working on an enhancement to that as we speak.
