The modules contained in the 'Animal Panel' are listed under thei own a shop soup kitchen panel, seen here:
Wizardry/Shop Panels section of the Egres site.
Derrick asked specifically about audio processing, the animal panel seems to
my mind to have more in common with a synthesizer voice. For audio
processing I think one of the 'Soup Kitchen' panels would be a better bet.
I haven't been convinced about any advantages going down the shop panel
route.http://home.pacbell.net/mbwlaw/inside.htm
advantages: four years ago, i already owned three panels and was in the market for another. i stopped by
STS for a lunch date with rex. the soup panel was sitting there, blinking away in test mode (fellow SMOGgers,
this is something to behold: perhaps a dozen brand new panels on a big table, internally patched, and running for
days on end.....). rex said "hey you need one of these, you don't have any of these modules". i was looking for
a WAD, freq shifter, phaser, VSVCF, etc. "here, let me show you" says rex, and he proceeds to hook up just the
SK and injects a james brown CD for processing. wild! i want it! but its expensive: no real savings over a custom
job. rex says "here, take it. use it for a couple weeks and if you want it we'll work it out". a couple weeks later, of
course, i ponied up the bucks.so i'm fully aware this story doens't *really* count as an "advantages of a shop panel" story, but needless to say,
it worked for me: there was immediate gratification (a serge oxymoron if there ever was one!) and it just so happened
that i wanted/needed ALL the modules.also, if time is money, you save a heck of a lot of time getting a shop panel. has anyone ever simply called/wrote rex with
a panel and that was that? i doubt it! you're going to spend a lot of time on the phone/faxing, and after that they've got to
do the graphic, get it back from the negative shop, etc. while i've never had to wait for a shop unit, i'd hope that then and now
the turnaround time is shortened.its a beautiful day!
