Re: My first (and last) custom panel

2007-06-05 by Yulian Pugachevsky

Totally awesome.. I never had a chance to play with the Seq Programmers.. and I can definitely see the utility of them.. I already have a TKB.. it is indispensable and the Seq Prog. would make and awesome compliment.. besides.. you are correct..those buttons do look good enough to eat.. they're right up there next to the Synclavier's B52 bomber buttons :)

Very nice panel, Yulian.
Yeah, Rex gave me a nice long lead time. It definitely helps since I'm in the same boat as you. Unfortunately, only a Sequencer panel and a TKB will complete my system :-) Those Sequencer buttons look tasty, don't they?

Indeed.. I can sympathize with the anticipation.. I'm waiting on my last panel as well.. especially given that it completes the system (.. that I can afford ;).. 4 panels tot).. I did tell Rex to take his time though a) so not to rush his and b) to give me a chance to come up with the $$$ for the unexpected expense (I wasnt planing for this panel until next year's income tax returns :D).


I got PCO - RING - VCM - AMX - EQ - VCFS - WAD - ACPR - BLOG

Plenty of other modules I would've loved to have.. like the matrix mixer or the freq shifter.. oh well.. maybe l8r ;-)

Well, my order's in. Here's what I decided on:

PRNV / STR / PCO / FRSX / C/M / WAD / AMX / XFAD / QUO / DCSM

Can't wait! But I'll have to.
