A new modular, I just can't hate it!

A new modular, I just can't hate it!

The faceplates are made of PCB material with touch controllers keys built in, which is so cute, 
it's like I suggested it 5 ears ago!

Who is counting, they are blue and named after bugs! Rock on teen God's!

Hi Grant,

I think you received some partial vindication a couple years ago and
no one noticed it. MFB has been making euro modules with PCB material
face plates for a few years. I guess they use black material and
aren't über trendy so no one mentions it much (or at all?). 

BTW, the MFB printing seem to be silk screened and the SMT boards are
parallel mounted often to the pots. No touchplates though.

Actually someone brought up Buchla doing it way back. Are some of
their older touch surfaces applied to PCB material?

some of the clips I did with it along with some wiard modules and a metalbox wave multiplier 
are on the audio page, they work really well together
