Doepfer

one thing i don�t like about Doepfer;
the layout of the frontpanels (too small), no logic relations between different/simular modules, like the a-120&a-121.
therfore im planning to build my own frontplates using 
***larger aluminium frontpanels(three sizes +100% in y-axis(LONGER)) 
***moore spacing between knobs, 
***in/out jacks&knobs on same x&y axis from mod. to mod.
***better marking /diffrent colours on audioin&out,cvin&out,tr in etc.
***switch from 3.5" to bananajacks? (how to do?)

someone else on the same wavelength??

Hi martin 

> the layout of the frontpanels (too small), 
Definitely, but standard for a lot of other systems (AS, EFM, ...)

> no logic relations between different/simular modules, like the a-120&a-121.
The 120 and 121 are special, since the 120 was created as one of the
first modules, while the A-100 was only a testing balloon. All later
filters hagve similar layout.

I am planning this too, but for the far future.

You have to unsolder all pots/switches/plugs from the pcb. The pots and
switches can be used on the frontpanel; fixing is done by the screw
thread.

My favourite size is the one of the moog/ppg/formant modules.
