Here is my advice on patch cables: buy more than you think you need mostly in lengths longer than you think you need. There is nothing more frustrating than suddenly having a burst of inspiration and finding you don't have a 4' cable. If you start with 7 modules, you might end with 14. If not, you'll be able to sell them at a small discount to the group if they're of a good quality. Your investment won't be lost and you're creativity won't be cramped.

Here's something I did in MS Paint:

I did this to figure out how many patch cables I would need to make
for myself. I already made 5. It seems that 3 patch cables per module
is a good estimate. I'll have 7 modules. 7 x 3 = 21. I better aim to
make 21. The cables coming from midi don't count because I'm not
making them. They will be 1/4 to 1/8 cables I will buy from
radioshack.

I'll take pictures of my cables once I get the heatshrink on...
heatshrink still on its way in the mail.
