Synth-DIY Yahoo! Groups Archives

i've kind of got an ergonomic approach too

two main cabinets side by side:

right hand side top layer - VCOs

middle layer - Filters

bottom layer - LFOs & S&H

left hand side top layer - neural agonizer & a brace of Larry's excellent voltage shifters

middle layer - VCAs & EGs

bottom layer - mixers, some MOTM700s ***

*** vastly underrated, and when used in conjunction with Larry's voltage shifters and a pulse divider - make a great arpegiator

of course the most used stuff gravitates to the centre of this arrangement

a slightly unplanned departure from this was caused by my cabinet maker going awol

so i bought a few minitran cabinets and these are grouped generally by function so for example - sequencing functions / logic and i have a cabinet set up as a stand alone monosynth (with added ZO)

the spaghetti always takes over - but that's half the fun (!)

cheers paul (who's synth doesn't get switched on nearly enough at the moment...)

I like Chub's idea of concentric module arrangements, but at this

point, I've consigned myself to the pasta. I don't think any
arrangement will defeat the syndrome.

My layout only prevents cable tangling for the first few minutes of
patching. After that, it's a mess just like everyone else's!

Larry Hendry's Magic Bus idea would probably improve the situation for
those with large systems. Alas, Larry's ideas improved many things
for many people...
