RE: [The_Cyndustries_List] Buchla style Zeroscillator

Hi Chris!

You’re one very smart fellow, good for you!

(Yes, we caught this early on and have already changed it to a miniphone jack.)

We’ve actually swapped the positions of the Synch knob and the sync jack (now miniphone)

As I thought the knob right under the Sawtooth output jacks was a bit cramped. Instead there is a

Triangle of jacks (Ramp, Saw, Synch) in that location now, with the knob further below.

We also moved the LEDs out further from the center and lowered the big Tuning knob a bit to get it

Away from the upper toggle switch in the center. We have a hidden 50-pin connector running horizontally

Under the big knob so we’ve pushed our southern limitation on the knob location further down so the tuning knob

Is no so cramped as show in that first prototype. The graphics will ultimately be silkscreened instead of the

Engraved lettering (temporary) shown and for example the words Ramp and Saw will be replaced by a pair

Of little “devil horns” in the form of Sawtooth waveform icons instead of words. (ramp up, ramp down)

Probably a big printed circle on the front panels around the big tuning knob, etc.

Please keep those observations coming, the more comments the better!

Cynthia

While staring at the ZOe proto, I notice one problem. If the Sync and
Time Reverse inputs are only going to have one jack (and I don't see
how you could possibly fit any more jacks on that front panel), they
should probably be 1/8" and not bananas.
