patch cords

2002-04-06 by osthelder

Hi all!

This is a request for ideas about the numbers/sizes of patch cords 
necessary for fairly large modulars (40-50 modules).  I've got 94 made 
up now-while Paul was on vacation I had to do something synth-related!
There's 10-20 or so each of 1,2,3,4, and 6 footers.  I've got a good 
pile of guitar cords as well.  Those are all around 20 feet and some 
(my favorites-just to piss-off the purists!)are coiled.

What do you think?  Make more long or short or all or just keep making 
them until my wife sends for help?  Your experience will be helpful 
here.

Thanks!

Chub
ps-Thanks for the input about recording gear!  Presently, I'm 
considering the Aardvark 24/96, but any other packages in that price 
range would interest me.

I've currently got 74 patch cords and 50 modules. I've not yet run 
out of patchcords; the most complex patch used about 70 cords.
