Dotcomformat

I know Bride Chamber has done a few, but I keep thinking that if someone was
to make DotCom style panels for ALL Synth Tech MOTM modules, it would be a
simple matter in most cases (some of  the modules with digital displays etc
might be more involved) to just buy the desired MOTM module, switch the guts
over to the DotCom Esq. panel and then sell the MOTM panel.  For people not
wanting to do the transfer themselves a service could do it for a small fee
and even give the owner up to 40% or so to keep the MOTM panel (to resell or
using in new MOTM builds etc)

 

Also, seems like a tiny MTA 156 header to MTA 100 header "power chiclet" PCB
could be designed that would solder to the top of the MOTM power header and
have a DotCom header on it. One would be included in the conversion package.
Knob replacement set optional.

 

The controls arrangements would still be MOTM and the switches would still
be MOTM style, but the panels would be DotCom width and have DotCom coloring
and graphics.

I have been asked about the panel layouts in private mails as well as hear

 

Most of the panel layouts are quite fixed due to the PCB mounting to the
panel by the pots and pot brackets 

 

I would not want to change the PCB mounting arrangements as it works so well
and the pots Im using are fantastic 

 

Other things I have no intension of changing if I do go for the Dotcom run
is the jack's (switchcraft 112A's)

1 they are fantastic quality 

2 I have boxes of them :)

 

cheers

I too am gearing up to release modules in DotCom/MU format. I say go for it!
You already have a great line of modules to work with so that is an even
bigger plus for you. The MU format is also conducive to more interesting and
intuitive layouts.

Good luck,
