MOTM

All,
  Happy thanksgiving first of all.....  We give thanks to Paul for MOTM of 
course..

anyway, on the Joystick thread.  My only bitch with a panel mounted joystick 
is that with our heavy patch cords (this would hold true with any modular for 
that matter) I think that the cords and knob tweakings would inevitably move 
the stick around a bit.  This would be shitty.  I would rather go for the 
panel with a connector for one or two Joysticks for remote use.  we could 
then make custom control consoles or just have a joystick(s) or pedal(s) 
plugged in and tweak away.
I think that a nicely done wooden control console with two joysticks and a 
few cv sources, gate trig buttons etc would be great.  You could just patch 
'er up then sit back and explore with all the controls.  Get that german 
company to make you a nice custom panel or maybe use two 3u MOTM blanks from 
Paul... yeah that would be great.  Sit back and explore...  Or hand your 
friend one joystick, you take the other and tweak away..
sounds cool indeed..
Hey, if we could decide on a Joystick company and model (www.chproducts.com 
looks great), then we could get panels silkscreened in the next run for a 
custom control console..  although I guess we don't want to jump the gun and 
do all of this before we hear what Paul had on his mind for this module.  
Yeah check out ch products' website under industrial products.  Joysticks, 
switch sticks, trackballs, button strips, all kinds of cool stuff. joysticks 
with buttons on top for that real "VideoGame" feel.
