Re: [ModularSynthPanels] Re: Klee panel - knobs vs sliders

2008-05-19 by Scott Deyo

Not having looked at the Klee design too much yet, I just did a 
different design that has two rows of 10 sliders (60mm ones, not too 
short), jacks along the bottom and room for 8 or so pots/ knobs, and it 
was 4U.
