Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.Details:
"Up for auction is a very rare item from EMS. It uses the same 16 x 16 matrix panel found on the Synthi A and VCS3. However, insead of being connected to fixed modules, each input row and output column on the the matrix is connected to a 1/4" jack.
Using this type of patching system really opens up the possibilities for people using multiple stomp boxes & other effects units. The routing of each effect in the chain can be easily switched around and even fed back around the effects chain.
The pins used to make the connections are regular shorting pins, not the pins with resistors as found on the Synthis. Although you can certainly use the other pins if you have them (see my other auctions for pins)."

pretty cool... kinda' expensive for what it is though. Making a home-made matrix patch bay or matrix mixer is really simple.
ReplyDeleteCheck out this one i made from only pots, resistors and a vhs tape case... works great!
