On the other group there was mention of MXR graphic EQs, which I have a couple of. I like to use them in patches and when doing so I use simple gain amps and attenuators to get appropriate levels. I have been meaning to get some panels made and build circuits behind them to make this simpler. The idea being I could make a cable snake from the rack units, attach this behind the panel and have the jacks and extra controls on the synth panel. Just trying to simplify my life. 

I haven't done this yet because:
A.) I'm really busy

or

B.) I'm really lazy

...take your pick.


I would be interested to see any examples of similar things to get my creative juices flowing.

Currently the only sequencing modules that I've got are from the STG 
Soundlabs series -- the a Time Buffer, a Shift Manager, two Voltage 
Mini-Stores and a Trigger Mini-Store.  I actually quite like them and 
find them fairly flexible.  I've had a lot of fun playing with them. 

I'm just wondering if anybody knows of an easy way (or a way that 
doesn't use a lot of other modules, anyway) to chain the voltage 
mini-stores to create longer sequences.  The trigger mini-store has 16 
steps, and the two voltage mini-stores have only eight steps.  I'm 
normally okay with this -- I basically use the two VMSs to control two 
different parameters, such as pitch and filter cutoff, and the TMS to 
create some rhythmic variation between one bar and the next.  But once 
in a while it would be nice to create just one sixteen-step sequence of 
both voltages and triggers.

I did come up with a patch that created a sort of 16-step sequence by 
running one with looping turned off and then retriggering it based on 
the restart of the TMS, such that it would only trigger every other bar, 
and mixing them, so that the first run through you get on the first bar 
you get the mix of the two and on the second bar you get one of them by 
itself.  It's a pretty fiddly way to program a 16-step sequence of 
voltages, though. 

I'd thought that if I had a second Trigger Mini-Store I could set all 
the switches to on in one column and all the switches to off in the 
other column and use a pan/fade module to flip between the two VMSs, but 
that requires another TMS, which is a really expensive module, a 
pan/fade, which I don't have yet, and probably another shift manager, 
which is also not THAT cheap -- it all adds up to about the price of a 
Q119, really. 

So I'm wondering if anyone else has any interesting ideas for this or if 
there's a simpler way that I'm totally missing.

I'm thinking that maybe I need to build a toggle module that flips 
between a numbered set of available sources based on a pulse rather than 
a continuing value and mults the pulse back out.  Then I could use the 
first-position pulse from any of the VMs to switch between however many 
of them I want, and that module would be useful for other things, I'm 
sure.  Does a module like that already exist?
