MOTM

Hi Tobias and  MOTM group,

I do not have any other white modules for the moment! I plan to fill the
7U hole in my "control" cabinet with white painted modules anyway. I do
not know if Analogic ACS plan to release more white modules . But i hope
the answer will be "yes" ! 

About mounting the TM116 sequencer inside a 12U cabinet : if your
cabinet is exactly 12U (=53,28cm ?) You can add a small vertical bar
made of wood to screw the rack panel. There is approx 2cm of free space
between the border side of the panel and the pcb on each sides. 

I have builded my new cabinets to contain any kind of 19" rack. So i
have fixed on both sides a piece of wood on witch i screw sequencers
panels. I think it can be also possible to use metal rails and square
bolts like on classic rack bay or fly cases. Inside length of this
cabinet is 48.3 cm = the exact size of a TM116 with 1mm of extra free
space. Height is 2 row of 5U as the TM116 is a 2.5U unit. My "black"
cabinet is identical but slightly larger to contain more modules. None
of my cabinets fit exactly the MOTM 2U panels division, but i will glue
a small piece of painted steel to fill the small remaining space. For
me, the most important thing  it is all cabinets have the same height
because i put them side by side. I will post picture of my synth boxes
soon, but i need to borrow a digital camera first !

Best regards,

Marc B.
