Hi all,

LATEST NEWS
------------------
I learned from Stooge Larry yesterday that a 10 unit wide 
Stooge panel (that will fit in a 19" rack when using the 
MOTM rack rails) is possible, even with the single square 
hole for the LCD. So that is good news.

I'm not going as fast as I would like to, so we may miss the 
current Stooge panel run. Be prepared. ;)


BENNIE'S PANEL
---------------------
I decided to base the Stooge panel layout on a beautiful 
design from list member Bennie Vreemann.  Note that I will 
do some redesign though, as described below.

Bennie, Boele and I met a couple of weeks ago, and I was 
able to see his panel in real life. It looks great.  Have a 
look at this (blurry) picture of this P3 panel:

That darker area below the LCD is just a metal fix he had to 
make for the buttons below there, so try to ignore that. 
The Schaeffer panel design (below) is corrected, says 
Bennie.

His original panel is using a Schaeffer panel. Note the much 
larger LCD and the sexy buttons. Data on Bennie's original 
Schaeffer panel and the used partlist is here:

CHANGES
------------
Now have a look at the picture again to see what I will 
change for the Stooge panel:

1. The 3 MIDI jacks will be removed from the front panel. 
You will have mount them somewhere on the back of the 
panel.

2. The row of F1-PAGE buttons, as well as the DATA and TEMPO 
knobs will be moved right by one grid position. Meaning 
that the F1 button will be positioned where the F2 button 
is now shown on the pic, and the TEMPO knob will end up 
below the right most MIDI jack (but the MIDI jacks will be 
removed).

3. The LCD will be moved left a bit, to center align it with 
the F2 button.

4. All knobs will get tick marks, MOTM style.

5. Some panel graphics will be added. The row of numbers 
(1-16) will also be printed above the bottom green buttons. 
And I'd also like to add a horizontal line there, 
indicating track 1-8 and bank 1-8.

Any suggestions???
