In the LH cabinet?

http://synchro1.smugmug.com/gallery/3454091#194038342-M-LB

(from one of several photosets of AH cali 2007 meeting)

I see, from the bottom up, a dual joystick/JAG module, 2 larger
modules.  What I presume is a bank of attenuators, a row of 6 300
series modules, presumable another strip[ of attenuators, and an
odd-looking 300 module.

It all looks awesome.

The non-Wiard blue modules are all Metalbox/CGS, done up in the custom
colors by Michael Ford, except for the odd module up top and the blue frac
rack ear multiples, which I made.  The Metalbox stuff you are seeing is,
reading bookwise top down and left to right: Sequential Switch, Slope
Detector, Digital Noise, Gated Comparator, then below, Pulse
Divider/Logic, Burst Generator, 8008 kick drum, Cynare.

The color match is so good you can't see the seams in between the modules,
but they are there :)

Yep, 8 passive attenuators.  They're handy for taming Wogglebug CV output,
or restricting joystick output when driving modules that lack the proper
input attenuation.

Yep and yep.

>and an odd-looking 300 module.

That's a not-yet-completed dual Blacet Miniwave plus CGS Analog Shift
Register plus Mult.  The panel is three kinds of wrong (expensive
mistakes) but it works :) I'm using it almost exclusively to run Matthew
Davidson's scale quantizer ROM (and when I finish it, twice).

At the event I patched up joystick->attenuator->Miniwave->Waveform City in
such a way that the left-right joystick movement stepped through one
octave of a minor scale, and up-down fiddled the wave env, gate of course
on the button.  Way fun.

Thanks!
