Re: [ModularSynthPanels] Re: Synth Systems PB-912 Tie Lines Mystery Panel

2009-07-14 by Paul Bower

someone mention me....?

i completely missed this thread - sadly i have little time for modular  
fun these days

the PB912 - is indeed named by Larry using his system

i needed a single custom panel, and the Stooges of course obliged,  
it's just a simple 1U panel, i wired 8 audio tie lines and 4 voltage  
tie lines

the audio connects to an 8 way loom that goes off to my console/ 
patchbay and CV goes to a 4 way loom that heads off (or used to head  
off) to a couple of effects units with CV inputs (Bel BD80, Eventide  
H949, Powertran delay etc)

so it's just a means of getting signal from modular to console

cheers
paul
