Bus board CV and Gate. Usefull or an irritation?

2004-01-31 by Julian

Hi there,

One of those times when i feel like maybe im missing the point.

Every time i move the modules about in my system, i always have to be
careful to plug the vcos in different sides of the busboard, so i dont have
to have then on a common pitch (yes, i know i can mod them also)

Now ive never really seen the point of the internal busses.  Surely the
whole beauty of the modular is that the routing is external, and under full
user control?  Dont the internal busses detract from the purity of this?

As i say, ive always tried to avoid the internal communication, but i feel
like there must be some sort of beauty that im missing?

I ask, as im just about to build some boards, and going for 10 way sockets,
as opposed to 16 (i know i certainly dont need the +5v) is, of course, an
option to me.

So, can anyone convince me / point out the error in my ways?

Cheers, Julian.
