Re: My first (and last) custom panel

2007-05-30 by Chris Sawyer

I asked Rex once about using a QUO with the FRS(X). He indicated there is a significant difference between the frequency range of the standard QUO and that of the FRS' internal quadrature oscillator. He also mentioned something about optimizing the filtering to match the internal oscillator for super-clean shifting.

Right, John, thank you.

Here's the layout I'm considering for a complement to my other three:

PRNV / FRS(X) / CM / XFAD / QUO / WAD / BUFF / AMX / NCOM / STR / DCSM

I may change the sequence. Only shop panels I can foresee picking up in the future would be the Sequencer panel and a TKB. So, the panel above is in keeping with those plans so I don't unnecessarily duplicate something.

Is it correct to assume that a QUO is a good addition to the FRS with external carrier since it doesn't have a QUO on board like the non-ext. carrier version?

All Freq Shift modules are 3" the extra space being taken up by the CM. Rex will tell you that he doesn't do single modules. That horse has been beat to death for years. The shop panels configuration is set.Anything else is custom and will probably stay that way.
The only way for everyone to get a handle on this is to make the phone call. Check out his head space and see what the deal is on an individual basis.

How many inches does each version of the Frequency Shifter take? The table says 3 but the pictures of the panels show 2.

Yes, I'd like to place a last minute order, too. Such short notice!

Right, that was my point about getting a panel with certain modules that we won't see on the shop panels... Or will we? All of this raises more questions such as: Will there be new shop panels with different configurations? Is Rex going to do individual modules? Answers to these questions may be more forthcoming by phone but they would certainly help me make my decision more easily.

Can you get the Active Processors to make a real hard jump-cut, with no audible "fade"
between the signals, when used with audio?
Or does nobody use the AP with audio?

So you're placing a last-minute custom order too?

Yeah, I guess those are history, at least in the way we know them. I don't have a particular
need for either of those modules, I think, but you're right in that if you'd want to own one,
you'd need to put a panel together right now. There's no way I'm ordering another
complete Soup Kitchen, but I really want another Wave Multiplier and EQ.
