Re: Panels and power supplies?

Hi Cole.

Although I haven't personally ordered any front panels yet, Steve Thomas at
<http://monopole.ph.qmul.ac.uk/~thomas/synthdiy/cnc.htm>
has had very good feedback on the EFM list - and is pretty cheap, even
including postage from the UK, according to a few US sources.
As many CGS modules lend themselves to being customised, it may be a good
idea to make up a mock panel first from thin plywood or something, to see
whether you need extra pots (output level for instance).
You can't beat actually having a mock-up to check spacing, and to see if the
knobs are the right distance from each other !

I use one for my CGS and EFM modules with no troubles. Some modules need to
be run off a separate "dirty" power supply
(CGS21 super psycho LFO, and CGS07 gate sequencer for example) - see the
explanation and details on the CGS site.

Cheers,
