Where can we get some specs for this cabinet?



These cabinets, the arcade looking one from the SOnic Infinity DVD, the ones also featured at Musikmesse, Does your luthier there build them or what? Can you provide us with the specs or blueprints or something?

This is a fantastic looking cabinet and I think its what the doctor ordered!

ps Do you have 2 delays in there or is that the TC?

very very nice....but I still do not see how you can access that middle row very easily for quick patching.

Make the cabinet just a bit taller and put patchbays in? As it sits, it looks like you wouldn't be able to set it against a wall. You could not get to the jacks on the mid row, otherwise.

looks like those foogers in the top row could be moved up a couple of inches, giving more access to the 2nd row foogers' jacks

I'll have to take a pic of my fooger set-up for everyone... fairly open access for all points, not a rack mount, but works for the most part... I'll get on it later this week, since I'll soon have the net at home...

I'd love a taller version of that, so that the middle row was more accessible.

So, here is a question. Can you really just use a standard patch-bay to route CVs? It seems possible and this would be a great way to go for me.

I'm using it right now for my 101/102/107, works great! The only caveat is that some of the foogers don't operate correctly in those circumstances (for instance on the 104z going into the Time In changes the range of time knob.) I vaguely recall some folks using 1/4" connectors w/ the contacts soldered together for deadpatching as a workaround, although I don't remember the details.

the 102/101/107 all work fine w/ everything patched in though, w/ the exception that you need to patch the 102's carrier out to the carrier in, or otherwise the connection is broken and no carrier will sound (unless of course you've got something else plugged in.)

Yes you can. And normaled they can be multiples. But remember not to add two CVs together as the voltages can get out of safe range for the foogers. IE: 1 CV to multiple fooger inputs is OK. Multiple CVs to one input is bad. (As a general rule)

Side bounus: A patch bay makes it look more like a modular

As long as the patch bay is TRS, it will work with all the 'Foogers! I'll be going that route eventually, as well. I'll probably just make my own patch bay.

Where a patchbay will work with the audio in/out it will behave strangely with the cv in/out, the reason for this is that the foogers use switching jacks, so when you patch into "lfo in" and into rear of patchbay you lose the internal "lfo" and so on and so forth . Does this explanation make sense?

Yeah that makes sense. For my personal use, I have cables plugged into the CV ins all the time. They go to my potentiometer bank. So a patch bay would be most beneficial to me. I guess it all depends on how your rig is set up, and what you want to do with it. Of course, if switching jacks are used in the patch bay, everything should work properly, correct? And they are only a few cents more per jack. Worth looking into, at any rate.

Yeah, I think this was the concern in the back of my head when I asked the question about the patchbay, having an unused insert connect from the patchbay to the 'fooger overriding some internal function.

I have thought about the patch bay issue as well. Currently, I have a low pass, ring modulator and freqbox. Things are getting messy so I would at least like to get them onto a rack and I would love one that looks like the one posted here. The accesiblity of the middle rack however, would also be a concern to me.

I think if I got a TRS patch bay it would solve most issues and I would be able to plug in pedals and other controllers. The switching that is built into the foogers would be more of an issue but there is always the option of temporily disconnecting the patch to the patch bay if necessary.

Since the fooger has outputs for the LFO, if it gets disconnected by plugging in a cord you can always re-configure it on the patch bay.
Kinda like a semi-normalled synth. (eg: 2600)
