MOTM

I can't speak for everyone on the list, but I have been in "house-buying" mode lately and that has kept me too busy to keep up with the list as much as I would like.

As far as drilling out the rack ears on the Kenton Pro-2000, I don't believe there is enough room to bring every jack from the back around to the front.  I solved this problem by making a custom  1U high X 19" Long "Breakout Panel" for my MOTM (see attached bitmap).  Not only does it bring all of the 1/8" jacks from the back of the Kenton to the front as 1/4" jacks, it also brings all of the MIDI jacks around front as well.  I even had room for several Quad Multiples Jacks.  It really works great and was relatively easy to build!

Insert classic ghost town whistle here...

Ooh wee ooh wee ooooooohhhhhh!!!!

The list has been a ghost town man. Where is everybody? Is anybody afraid to 
talk due to the recent conversations about list content?

Anyway, I found a company called "Middle Atlantic" who sells a 2 unit rack 
similar to the Frakrack by Paia and the rack rails by MOTM. You can purchase 
pre-punched 2 space wide panels for this thing with holes for 1/4" jacks, 
XLR, ,Pots, vents or computer connectors.

I plan to mount one of these racks at the bottom of my twelve space SKB for 
my MOTM and use the individual 2x2 panels for multiples, Headphone Pre-amp 
and a VU meter maybe. Maybe even a joystick in the future if Paul doesn't 
come out with a MOTM one! You can buy the 2x2's with either 8 or 4 holes for 
1/4" jacks. You can make the 8 hole guy into a multi that is two sections of 
4 that connect as 8 with a switch you have to drill in separately. The model 
number of the rack is MPS-FK and the panels are MPS-3/8X8. You can also get 
blank panels.

Check it out at middleatlantic.com and tell me what you think. I don't know 
about pricing yet because they do not allow for on-line ordering. Apparently 
they have to contact you with the closest vendor to you via e-mail. Pretty 
cool for modular multiples or smaller modules that won't take up a whole 
blank MOTM panel! I think I remember seeing these locally for about $25 for 
the rack and $5 each for the panels? Not really sure.

PS. For you Kenton 2000 owners out there. Is there enough room on the rack 
ears to drill holes 2 rows for 1/4" jacks on either side of the Kenton? I 
would like to mount jacks here and make 1/8" to jack adapter cables so I can 
access all of the Kenton rear mounted jacks 1/4" style from the front face 
of my modular. how about additional room for a MIDI in jack too. Is it 
possible? Give me a shout. Thanks for your help and opinions.
