Re: [Doepfer_a100] Module Ideas: Universal "breakout box"

2006-05-10 by guido de zeeuw

This is handy, but a typical DIY project I think.
Make yourself a faderbox, or saw the faderpart of an obsolete mixer.
I would solder pieces of 1 meter wire direct to the faders and then a 
plug
to the other end, that will save on plugs and connectors (on the 
mixer), you never will unplug !
