<div> Can you (or anyone) tell me how deep your deepest euro module is? or is there's a limit of some sort? I'm thinking I could cut the sides on my down to "tilt" it. I also have a power supply (same as the monowave, +12v @ 1A, -12v @1A and +5v @ 3A so that's sorted.</div>
<div><br></div><div> Upon further investigation of my "random parts bin" I have the following;</div><div>three Hearn Morley VCO modules (<a href="https://sites.google.com/site/hearnmorley/products/hmvco1b">https://sites.google.com/site/hearnmorley/products/hmvco1b</a>), </div>
<div>two VC-ADSR modules (<a href="https://sites.google.com/site/hearnmorley/products/hmadsr1c">https://sites.google.com/site/hearnmorley/products/hmadsr1c</a>), </div><div>a dual VCA module (<a href="https://sites.google.com/site/hearnmorley/products/hmvca1b">https://sites.google.com/site/hearnmorley/products/hmvca1b</a>) </div>
<div>and one of his SSM2040 clone modules (<a href="https://sites.google.com/site/hearnmorley/products/hm2040">https://sites.google.com/site/hearnmorley/products/hm2040</a>) so I could in theory build my own modules. </div>
<div><br></div><div> I've also got a couple of Tom Wiltshires VCLFO chips (<a href="http://www.electricdruid.net/index.php?page=projects.lfo9">http://www.electricdruid.net/index.php?page=projects.lfo9</a>) and a couple of his VCADSRs (<a href="http://www.electricdruid.net/index.php?page=projects.envgen7">http://www.electricdruid.net/index.php?page=projects.envgen7</a>).</div>
<div><br></div><div> So I could build it all myself, thing is I don't want this for making music, I want it for developing modules and testing ideas/concepts I have. I got the modules above to build a programmable monosynth, so I wouldn't use all three VCOs, nor all the VCADSRs/VCLFOs I have. So there's a side of me that says "buy it so you can focus on dev/test" but there's the other side that says "save the money and build it yourself"</div>
<div><br></div><div> Argh, too many ideas and not enough time.</div><div><br></div><div>Paul<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Apr 8, 2012 at 1:55 PM, Tony Scharf <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:noisetheorem@gmail.com">noisetheorem@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
