PLAN B analog blog

Big applause to Ross and Romeo for gettin' it  first - The Model 21 is slated to have a 
complementry touch keyboard sometime after it's release.  There will only be one type 
produced - geared toward 16 keys, so it's best suited for the Venti.

The thoughplate will be a single rack width high unit which will come in two flavors - with 
or without rack ears.  On it will be 16 touchplates, an internal connection to the Venti's VC 
direction input, a duplicate external direction input so one does not lose that functionality, 
pressure out, linear voltage out (sixteen equal divisions of ground to 8 volts - so a 1/2 
volt increment per key) and gate out.  If there's room, this is where the veertical 
sequencing will also be housed.

OK, so what ever happened to symmetrry?  

If you happen to use two rows of rack mounted Euro and don't want the Milton touchkeys 
to send one rack all willy-nilly tp the other by an inch and three quarters, simultanious to 
it's  release will be a one rack unit high multiple gang - all the mults you could ever dream 
of in a single rack high unit.   By using both the mult box and touchplates, your adjacent 
cabinets will remain vertically aligned.

So when is this all going to happen?  this year.

We've got five modules to release in short time: The M's 16, 25, 26, 27 and Miltons.  Once 
that occurs, the touchplates are next in the development pipe, along with the release and 
completion of the M18 and M23 ASR.

Sorry for the delay on these things.  Only two guys here, orders to fill, disrupting daily 
group Starbucks runs to make (my fault), not to mention Tim's periodic defibulation 
requirements due to his Monster and Rockstart cold beverage usage.

...Just kidding about Tim.  That's not fair.  (He usually doesn't require the pads).
