Re: New Module Design

2010-02-22 by jburdick727

I probably should have clarified the differences a bit more in my original post. The panel mechanically is exactly the same as a dotcom or Moog panel. The panel is 1/16 inch thick, the edges of the panel are folded and the panel width is 4.250 inches (for a 2 MU panel) so it fills the entire module space. The main difference is that the unpainted area is not masked onto the flat area of the panel. I am using an electrostatic painting process and that little bit of masking is proving to be difficult.

Particularly looking at the gaps between the modules in your photo, I think a panel that conforms to Dotcom's physical standards would be worth the extra money. And the little line on the original, while hardly essential, actually adds a bit of clarity to the panel layout.

The reason for simplifying the module look is to make it simpler and easier to make resulting in a lower overall module price. I am curious to know what other dotcom users might think of this new "look". Here is a picture of a new dual LFO module combined with a dual VCA module.
