Modular Synth Panels

Hey Larry,

Thanks much for the photo link.  Very tidy wiring.  I want a Stooge 
panel like yours for my Low Pass Gates, and a 3-pot long Stooge bracket 
would work for me too.  I have cut several of them to fit my oddball 
panel designs.

One question:  Cynthia says it is customary to use Amber color LEDs in 
the Low Pass Gates.  Did you use Amber?  If so, what Mouser part 
number?  Ok, that was a two-part question.

Heh, you think that's a lot of wiring.  You should see my latest 
FrankenModule in a custom Stooge panel:  One MOTM-101 S&H with noise, 
plus two Oakley S&H modules, all in the 2U space that the MOTM-101 
originally occupied.  The Oakley boards stack on top of each other 
behind the MOTM board, all on a Stooge 4-pot long bracket.  A 1/2" x 
3/4" notch had to be cut out of the lower corner of the MOTM board to 
allow a jack to fit where the MOTM slew pot used to be.  The bracket was 
cut out, too.  Compared to this the Low Pass Gates looks like a piece 
cake!  There's an old Chinese proverb that says a synthesizer of a 
thousand modules begins by stripping and tinning one wire.  (Or 
something like that.)
