So I was looking at the panels... this is my idea to make them both 16 (don't change the SWAMP 2.0...keep that at 17, that's special anyway)
1. Drop one of the non-extended VCOs and expand change the S&H to a SSG. Or just have two extended vcos.
2. On panel 2, turn one of the DUSG to a DTG (with optional mods)
That's my idea. You are not necessarily losing much functionality, but reducing duplication. I could provide other suggestions, but looking and thinking about it this seemed like the most sense.
I will like these anyway...so this is just an idea in case you want to reduce by one column. I am fine either way.

Oh yeah, I had forgotten about that... I guess I'd have to sit in front of one and see how it agrees with me, both sonically and ergonomically.lintfresh wrote:Stephen, what about Modcan A format??Vsyevolod wrote:

go ahead and put me down for one of each

Black Swamp = way too busy.
I totally get where you're coming from with trying to maximize the real estate. There comes a time where too much is just too much and I think you found that point.
We all want a system that feels complete without taking up too much space. And at the same time it not only needs to be ergonomically workable, but aesthetically poetic. My vote would be to remove the logic board on the far left. It's not an essential piece for a panel of this size nor a 3 panel set.
I love what you're doing with all the incredibly hard work you're putting in on this... can't give you enough props for all that. Just some honest feedback from the gut.
Cheers,
Stephen

I have a SWAMP 1.0. The Logic being there is kind of necessary for the full functionality of this thing. Hard to explain, but I have used it may times for inspired craziness.Vsyevolod wrote:Black Swamp = way too busy.

Almost all CGS-you will also need a YuSynth random gates board and a pcb from me for the SWAMP.
Panel 3 needs a Midi2CV from HEXINVERTER.
On a side note I think we will get the numbers I need to make this panel run happen. Just a few things still need on my end-detail stuff,making sure all the tic marks are correct for rotary switches and the holes for CGS91 are correct,just little stuff. And I still need to test my Solo idea. Plus a board redesign,the ones I have now are for the TPS-16 steps. I'm going to make a 8 step version for this project.
But overall everything is proceeding as planned.

I'm still in!!! All three, + an extra of panel no 1 (vco-panel)!
Although, I think there's a serious lack of mixers on there, how's the thought behind this? I sure have plenty mixers on my other panels, but to make it a stand alone system, it's kind of a drawback - how's the design plan I'm missing out here?

Just from a design perspective, these look really great. I love the attention to detail and the evident refinement in the look. It's nice and clean without the usual logo and graphics that accompany these things.
2 things that jump out at me that could be tweaked are:
1. The module names on the top of Quicksand should be brought down a bit closer to the box line like on Okefenokee.
2. The attenuverter swish is the only place where the line weight looks too heavy, perhaps it will look fine in print as silver panel though it could be better as a solid shape.
Just my 2 cents. If I was more competent in DIY and into nannas I'd jump on this.

Just noticed this as well. One DCSM does not a three panel system suffice. No submixing of signals? No CV mixing? Okay, I see a half space 3-in Processor... will this accommodate audio mixing as well?En_Annan wrote:Although, I think there's a serious lack of mixers on there, how's the thought behind this?

On the original Blackface Serge, the attenuverters are solid on the right, outlined on the left. This makes for clearer division of function.stainers wrote:2.
