Mankato

"eyehue and anomos worked on their first "professional" looking modular plate for this one, Thomas Henry's Mankato Filter using the Magic Smoke PCB. Hand drilled, locally laser-engraved."

  1. No output labels? Why bother with input labels then?

  2. I assume the graphic is supposed to tell you, although I have to admit, from looking at it I'm not sure which jack goes with which vertex.

    In fairness, the Mankato filter is kind of difficult to make a good panel for. I've been looking over some MOTM-format panel designs for one, and there just isn't a good way to do it without either cramming some things uncomfortably close together, or going to a 3U panel width.

  3. my MOTM and Moog/Synthesizers.com format panels for the Mankato Filter will get here within the next couple of weeks and i'll get some photos up as soon as i can. of course my MOTM layout doesn't conform to The Grid, so it won't please everyone.

    the trick to fitting everything in 2U is of course, to not fit everything. you really only need coarse, fine, regeneration, and one control attenuator. you can also just ignore the whole AC coupling aspect completely. that frees up quite a bit of panel space when you do that.
