"Been following the Mattson Mini Modular thread intensely for the last week, and saw the whole thing coming together nicely on George's new website...
Fascinating stuff.
The faceplates are designed in Illustrator, and I reckon they're fairly accurate (the holes and dimensions), give or take a few pixels. Since I've set up a rigid template, it is now very easy for me to design and re-design new decals... I can do one module in less than half an hour or so... Done the VCO and EG so far...
If there is any interest in this, I will finish the rest of the modules, and make them available [in different printable formats] for free. Right now I am not able to fullfill any requests for other decals designs, since I'm a bit overloaded with (paid for) work. That might change later though.
If everything works out ok, I will make the template available to the public for free (in different, editable formats), so to make the enthousiastic musician-designer's life just a tad more easy.
Cheers,
Guy D2"

Very nice design, MMM should adopt this! Throw on a few knobs and it would look very cool.
ReplyDeleteMuch better.
ReplyDeleteVery cool indeed...which proves a point about the whole MMM thing.
ReplyDeleteThere are alot of people willing to make this thing much better.
Unfortunately I could never buy into the whole system purchase concept...which is fine for those who do.
You have proven a point though that this could be potentially supported in ways that could allow cross format that would allow many others to contribute to the success of George's design and be much bigger than a "system" concept.
Nice work it would be nice to see it in Eurorack format.

ReplyDeleteIt has always been, since the beginning of the MMM, the idea that the end user would be able to create their own module 'skins'. I encourage everyone interested in this get involved on the forum because that is where we'll be able to share these best. Also, I think its a great that folks like Jeff Toman and others are offering budget but quality printing services for people who have the ideas, but don't have the equipment to produce the physical skins. George was really hoping for this. I suspect in a few months we could have a huge catalogue of faceplate skins.
and just maybe... someone will make theirs look as crazy as this:

That's a very nice design baseline.

ReplyDeleteNOW THAT is a good selling point, I think a lot of people can be turned off by the way gear looks, and in these days of cutomisation that is a very clever marketing angle, I think George should perhaps have revealed each module in a different skin to make this point clear.
Thanks, guys !
ReplyDeleteThis is just the beginning...
I'm talking to Jeff Toman right now, and see if we can put our hands together for this thing.
