MOTM

Hi Shemp!

Here is a picture of my DIY panel up as close as I could get. The features 
are as follows:

Din cable that brings original Roland CV/Gate and Trigger signals to the 
panel. On the panel there is a 1/4" jack for each of these signals. With the 
extra space I put in a switch and 4-jack multi above both the CV and Gate 
outs. The switch allows for the multis to link to the cv and gate out so you 
end up with 5 outs from each signal or 2 x 4way multis.

A simple but very effective module in my 3 VCO, 4 EG setup. I used to have 
to patch out of my cabinet to a different multiple I have and back again, 
but this panel made it all go away. I would love to replace my laser-printer 
stick on panel label with a true silk-screened panel. Maybe we can stir up 
enough interest to get this one thrown into the 3rd panel run? There have to 
be other M-181 owners who might like this project. It is really simple and I 
actually did all of the MOTM required gate voltage mods on the panel and 
left my M-181 stock. Works great and it would be even easier for those who 
did the mods inside the M-181.

Hope you dig it,

Thomas White

PS. I have thought about adding a "Gate On" led in the blank space on the 
front panel, but I want to wait to see my total current in this cabinet 
before I go crazy with this LED and Dave B's mods for the 800 EG's.

hello all,

to show solidarity, i'd probably order one of these panels...
...although, i'd almost certainly want to go inside my 181 and swap the
trigger out for the bend out
the wiring is a little tight in there, so not many would want to have a go

i currently just use a 3 core mains cable to run the power to the 181 which
i retrofitted with prehdin (locking din) sockets, all the CV stuff just
comes out the 1/4" jacks on the back, with a couple on miniature 1/8" CV
monitor jacks plugged in the top

however, something i am planning, is to just build a simple switching CV
interface, a three way, rotary switch, with inputs for pitch, gate & bend
for two or more devices ie 181 or midicv - a useful little tool, as i
currently have to repatch multiples which frankly gets on my tits

cheers

Excellent!  I am sure many others enjoyed the post and picture too.

I am down with doing a panel run.  I may even be willing to kit up a few if
there is enough interest--say 5 people.  This would also work for the Roland
M-182 and M-184 I believe.

Is anyone else interested?  It sounds like we have 3 already.

Cheers!
