Supermoe metamorphs yet again

Hi Moe, your modular sequencer keeps getting better with every 
revision.

Most of the Motm Cabinets that I have seen tend to be close 16 to 20 U
here are a couple of suggestions.

Since the DAB-1084 Control Voltage Generator is 8 U wide, I would 
believe most people would go for at least 2 of them. This brings the 
total to 16 U. If you put 2 of them in a row, you could use the row 
below it for Address Generation.

Now if arrange the DAB-1018 Address Generator Interface so that 
instead having in 2 rows in 7 U, you make it a single row so it 
becomes 14 U. This leaves plenty of room to put at least 2 of the DAB-
1044 Pulse/Gate Generators below. Above you would put DAB-1017 
Address Generator I/O. This would make for a more ergonomic and fluid 
design.

I know it makes for wide modules, but I think the ergonomics will be 
simple to follow. Just an idea. 

Once it gets to the pcb stage and boards will be available, will it 
be possible adapt the logic boards to other formats? or will the pots 
and switches be pc mounted for the Motm format only?

I think if you design the boards so the hardware (pots, switches, 
jacks etc.) is separate from the logic boards, it will help you to 
get people outside the Motm camp to adapt and build to the format of 
their choice. A lot of people in the Banana Serge and Modcan camps 
would like to have access to the functions of your uber sequencer.

Good luck,
RM
