Re: DotCom Format Modules... how close?

2006-12-12 by David Vandenberg

I would not worry to much about being EXACTLY like the DotCom modules,
I am building a lot of my own modules and as long as they are the same
size format and black, I don't worry to much about the rest, my fonts
are a hair bigger than the DotCom ones, and my knob graphics are a bit
different, but they are close enough for me. The biggest problem I am
having, is finding knobs that look ok, the Dotcom knobs are 25mm($4
ea)and the ones I can get are 27mm ($1.50) I can also get some 20mm
for the same price, I would rather have them smaller than bigger, so
I'll probably try some of them. For your panels, you should make them
the way you want, after all they are your panels, not DotCom panels. I
know some people can be down right anal about how it looks, but
shouldn't we be more concerned about how it SOUNDS!
