Re: Front Panels

I didn't think you were dissing them, just telling what happened. I like the
Stooges too, but it's good to know what you know, ya know?

I'm not that good at electronics. How would you wire up the pot? I don't
even see where to wire the switches in the schematic, now that I look. The
bank and wave advances need a pulse, right? And are you talking about wiring
a pot up to advance two Wavebanks in tandem? I would definitely prefer a
pot, but can't wrap my brain around how to do it.

A _Triple_ Psycho? You're scaring me! But it would be super easy to do.

Thanks,
thom

I realise I sounded like I was dissing the stooges. I apologise if it
seems so. I will continue to buy their beautiful work, including their,
pcbs, panels and flat rails. The only place to get them.

I think a switch or a pot (pot preferred) would be better than a push
button on a dual wavetable module for my use a button will get used too
much and I would be largely using a match paired table setting with
detuning on the vcos classic technique stuff.

The dual / triple module configuration is the way to go. I opened you
dual Psycho lfo and it looks good. Lookslike it could make a nice triple.

You can talk to those guys at shaeffer they speak english (email, you
know) and they will give you feedback and can compare panel specs before
fabrication.
