Some Details on the New MacBeth M5X and Eurorack Modules?

via Ken MacBeth on Muff's Modules and More: "the M5X is due for launch some 8 - 10 weeks from now. I'm awaiting parts being manufactured and coming into the UK. The M5 and M5N have proved to be popular- and I have had many enquiries over the past while requesting information on how to get a unit. The M5N is now discontinued, but a new version with some different features is now on the horizon. Since I have been developing the circuits for the X-Factor synth- which has spawned some modular development- I have decided to vamp up the M5N taking it too- to a different level. All circuits within are being redesigned to the X-Series level that have been talked about elsewhere on this forum. For me, it's an exciting challenge and I can't wait for the result. There are still a crew out there who want the semi-modular approach, normalised jack sockets and all...so keep looking. Today- I hope to conclude a design for the 3U guys too... hihi ...it's 5.32 am here- so on with the day!!

Ken"

Update: Mr Array reminded me this is the first mention of 3U modules. Note the X Series modules previously posted are 5U. See these posts for more X Series including video. Scroll when you get there.

  4. actually, read thru the threads on muffwiggler... ken mentions considering eurorack for his x-series modules, after he releases the 5U's. BUT he says the modules would be something like 84 HP wide!
