Yep, 16" is what we have to work with. It definitely encourages some creative and strenuous thought when planning the panel.

Have you finalized what yours will be? I'm still trying to decide on the last 1 or 2 inches. I would certainly get the Matrix Mixer if I could but that's 4"!

Matthew,

I'd certainly like to have the two other serge vcf's but as we all know
16" is never enough ;)

also i've got a few other filter modules i use with the Serge, - mainly
two multimode vcf's from
the roland system 700.

The matrix mixer is VERY handy for things like this, - routing audio
in and out of the serge.
With the dual vca module and the matrix mixer i recently had a patch
where i had the roland filter
routed back to itself giving extra resonance under voltage control.
Or i use it with a tape-echo or my eventide or lexicon.

I'll get the other serge vcf's sometime in the future but for now i can
do without..
