Matthew, - what about a quantizer if you're going to get a tkb or
sequencer panel later ?


I was also in the process of planning a custom panel
when Rex's mail dropped, - so i've just ordered it before the deadline.
I'd been planning and giving it a lot of thought for some time now,
so i'm pretty confident that it's the layout i want - but i'd still
like all you fellow sergers comments and advice.

what i've ordered:

QUAN(tkb) - PCO - NCOM - PDIV - RS - SSG - CVPRO - DSG - ADSR

what i've already got:

panel #1:

PNRV - NTO - PCO - RING - VCM - AMX - VCFQX - DTG - UAP

panel #2:

FRS - CM - EQ - MAX - PRC - SPRC - 2VCA

panel #3

SEQ8 - DUAL ASR - ACPR - DTG - BLOG - SQP4

I mean to get a TKB later, hence the QUAN for tkb.

What do you think should be different in the new panel ?
I like to use my serge equally for processing external sources, noise
sculpture and regular synth stuff.
