MoogerFooger Jack Rack

Post by Bryan B » Thu Aug 23, 2007 1:24 pm

It seems like there is alot of discussion here about patchbays and the idea of moving the jacks from the back of the Foogers to be more accessible. I think this could make a fun thread, so here it is!

Post any and all ideas for jack expanding devices here.

I will start it off with this. This is a concept involving 3 foogers and a 1 space rackable jack expander. I imagined taking all of the jacks out of the back of my 3 Foogers and re-mounting them into this unit. I had a little extra room, so I added an attenuator, lag processor and an LFO with adjustable waveform and CV control.

In reality, I am sure you would have to send your Foogers into Moog and they could build it for you. Also the jack configurations are different on each MF and each person would own different combinations of Foogers, so there would probably be less bells and whistles replaced with some plugable holes or metal punch-outs. I am considering building this, but I am not an electrical genius, so there wouldn't be anything like an LFO on it.

you could just put normal jacked cables into the contrajacks of the foogers and attach this to the back of the contrajacks that are in the new jackrack.

or (even easier) put a mirror of the front of the jackrack on the back (so the same in/outputs) and just plug the foogers in on the back with a normal doublejackline.

would be easy to have it more universal then on the front, so for all the foogers possibilities.
then you can change combinations of foogers and everybody is happy.

Someone should just make some labels along with the matching reverse order versions for the back (good idea by the way). This way anyone with a patchbay could just buy the right set of labels for what they own and they have a front-loaded Fooger rack.

haha, indeed.
only thing: are there any pluggable potentiometers on the market?
like a knob with a jack or two behind it. so you could plug in a knob in the patchbay?
has to be secured som ehow offcourse because of the turning of it. duh..
