Modcan Format Question

Modcan Format Question

2007-02-10 by ta484

I just checked and didn't find an answer. I assumed this question
would have been asked a few times by now.

Will there every be any "B-Series" compatible versions of Cyndustries
modules? 

If not, has anyone ever converted a module to Modcan B-Series specs? 

Is there any hope of integrating Cyndustries and B-Series modules
without buying a new cabinet and banana converter? I would love to
pick up a couple Cynthia modules. If only...

Thanks

Modcan "B" is actually the MOTM format. Just thought that I'd point 
that out, not that it answers your question -- except that the ZO is 
produced in MOTM format.

There is one minor difference between Modcan B and MOTM (besides the 
color!) and that is the difference in signal levels. As I recall, 
MODCAN levels are about half MOTM's. Not a showstopper, but it is 
something to be aware of.

Thanks,

well, i've have all kinds of MOTM format modules and i've only ever 
used MOTM rails. so i would say that unless Modcan B modules have 
significantly different mounting dimensions (read: no, otherwise they 
wouldn't be "MOTM format") then they should be fine.

I have a Modcan B module on order (Dual Quantizer 55B), my first 
Modcan.  I am quite interested to see how it will fit into my MOTM 
format system.  It will stick out, color-wise, for sure!  I am hoping I 
can use the original panel.  At some point I'll have photos on my website.
