I agree, my ideal configuration would as well be 3 regular panels + 3 M-odules. However,
I'd hate to have the blank black panel strip between an M-odule and a regular panel.
Seems unnecessary unpleasing in my case, as my system would have alternating positions
of regular panels and M-odules. Please let me explain:
I.e. the bottom boat could contain from left to right an SQP M-odule and a TKB. I want to
play the SQP with my left hand to select different parameter settings (= sounds), while
playing the TKB with my right hand.
The middle boat could contain an Animal and a Dual ADSR (left to right). Here the Dual
ADSR should be positioned close to the Filter and VCA section of the Animal, so the Dual
ADSR should be at the right side.
The upper boat could contain a Triple Osciallator and my custom panel (left to right).
Oscillators typically are at the beginning of the signal flow, so the Triple Oscillator should
be a the left side.
The tricky thing is the power distribution. I do not have an M-odule yet, but I assume that
they feature the same power connector (from Molex, IIRC, can somebody confirm?) as
regular shop panels, right?
The currrent PSD board features 6 connectors, one is needed to feed power into the PSD,
so we are already out of luck using a PSD to power a 3 panel / 3 M-odules cabinet. Mr.
Chip Puller, do you recommend daisy-chaining 2 PSD board to power such a cabinet,
provided that the PSU is beefy enough?
Thanks and best regards,
