Does the beer mean you will be doing it or not then? I got history with your filters... history counts for a lot. smile

thank you.

no actually the beer meant that i couldn't talk because i was taking a drink.

yes. it will happen, the boring puritanical original Mankato will be in euroland. not as large as the frac version, but still very large and in charge.

i haven't made up my mind as far as layout goes. i don't really want to just directly translate the frac layout.

we're working on respinning all of the designs to SMT right now, because if that doesn't happen i'm going to die. 3 down, several to go. this is the source of the delay, but when it is further underway things will run smoother.

Any update on the Euro Mankato?

I'm hoping it will have both frac and Euro power connectors...I'll find a way to fit it into my frac universe.

Back when I was hanging out at Harmony Central, before the dark times, before the Empire, I said to STG that his modules were why I'd end up getting a modular one day. It was the 5U Mankato that did it. I almost feel like it would be a crime to have it in any other format, that module is so damn fabulous looking.

Makes me want to get a row of 5U going.

Oh god. No no no.

it _was_ in frac.

the next version is going to be strictly euro and Moog-format.

however it will power off 12 or 15 no problem, and have both power connectors.

the Moog format version will have no front panel changes, but will be a parallel instead of perpendicular board arrangement, so it will be very shallow.

the euro version will also be a parallel arrangement, and will probably be a little different than the frac version. i don't know if it will retain the "Regenerations - 0 to 12" as my Doctor Who reference. i also might put all the inputs on the left side and the knobs underneath the gigantic circle-jerk arrangement.
