Can't condone the use of grey though....
Ten turn pots?

As in 'Where does one find the ten turn pots you used? (and associated counting dials)'oljud wrote:Ten turn pots?
Maybe I'm putting words into your mouth but it is easier to judge what is meant when given a complete sentence!
Anyways, I used:
TT ones and Spectrol ones - I can't remember now which ones I preferred.
And then the smaller ones of these for the counting dial.
That's brilliant news, nice one for letting me know! Grey is for Plan B stuff only, the Bug is too colourful to ruin with grey.BugBrand wrote:They ARE being made again -- http://www.rapidonline.com/mechanical-f ... er-32-0475polyroy wrote:I used to have a massive supply of grey Rean knobs (bought the last 300 or so from Rapid) and am gutted that they aren't made anymore.

Yes! Didn't mean to sound grumpy, was on the phone (still am) and steaming hot tram. Figured you'd figure it out!
Thanks. Might use those for my synthi clone, enjoy the feel alot.

BugBrand knob colour coding
Hi folks,
Rather than start a new thread I thought I'd post my question here, since it already mentions the Re'an knobs.
I'm
-ing some Doepfer modules and I've decided to adopt the BugBrand "standard" for my modular (well, the Eurorack stuff anyway - haven't decided what to do with the Best Of CGS panels yet...). The jack colours are well-documented*, but I can't find a list of the knob colours and their significance anywhere - if BugBrand could comment, that would be most appreciated.
Looking at photos of BugBrand systems I've come up with a tentative list:
Yellow = Input level
Green = Output mix
Blue = CV level
Red = e.g. delay time?
Orange = ?
But I'm not sure about any of it...
(* Blue = CV in, Red = CV out, Yellow = Audio in, Green = Audio out)

Hey Tom, is this the wire you use to make the MTA100 power cables too?

Those are what I did use, but then ordered custom ones with longer shafts. I can usually spare some and easier international shipping than Rapid.chrisdermo wrote:https://www.rapidonline.com/truconnect- ... ck-17-2674lobra wrote:cant seem to find the same banana jacks with the screw off ops that tom uses.
