Modular Synth Panels

Hi Paul - 

OK, we get it.  In fact, we've been planning to interface my guitar rig with our modular at some point.  So this panel would be a way of passing audio and CV to external gadgetry, eh?  And perhaps the numbering implies that - the MOTM multiple is number 910, after all.

Now - We're guessing that Brit "loom" is akin to Yank "snake" - sound about right?

And now that we're thinking about it, back in 2007, Dave Wellington sent us a couple stooge brackets and I'll bet he included this panel in the package just for fun.  Maybe that's how we came by it.

Well - maybe it's time to figure out if and how we'll use the thing and than drill out the jack holes.

We'll take pics.

Thanks much, Paul

Bill and Will
