Re: faceplates and formats

2001-09-01 by syntht@yahoo.com

Since some folks took a previous comment in an unexpected way....

When I 'gently prodded' Grant, it was 1/2 tongue-in-cheek, 1/2 
serious. I am NOT proposing dropping ANY current panel/jack formant IN 
FAVOR of MOTM.

Rather, to offer his unique circuits in a MOTM format as well as his 
own existing standards.

What's so 'special' about MOTM form factor? NOT A THING! But, there 
are now 3, soon to be 5, modular manufacturers that offer the form 
factor.

Now, when I say 'form factor', I mean MAINLY the power supply 
connection and the outside panel dimensions. I DO NOT mean jacks, or 
even 'look and feel'. I mean it connects to the power harness without 
adapters, and fits into existing MOTM systems. Different knob? Sure! 
Color scheme? Whatever! 1/8" jacks? Fine.

Wiard and MOTM DO NOT COMPETE. By each of our own admissions, we agree 
to disagree.
