DAY 1

This photo was taken at the close of the tday the system was assembled, before my custom faceplates had arrived for the homebrew, Buchla and Blacet gear. It mainly consists of modules I had previously purchased for the creation of control voltage streams for my analog moduling and midi equipment via the Doepfer A-192 CV to Midi interface.

Note the large internal chassis boxes used to house the modules. These are made of 16 ga sheet metal!! (next time, they are going to be aluminum as each easily weighs 15 pounds).

THREE MONTHS LATER

This is the system with the expansion module neatly purched on top of the main cabinet. So they could stack easily, I designed this expansion module to be the same depth as the top of the main cabinet's upper most depth, Note the two plexiglass wedge blocks (only one is actually showing in this photo - on the bottom left) used to cant it at a 13.5 degree angle, which matches that of row 2 of the main cabinet.

Some of the modules of the expansion box are already mounted, some aren't here yet and others are here but awaiting the faceplates,

FOUR MONTHS LATER

This photo hows the expansion module loaded with it's first modules. Note the Blacet Mini Wave faceplate has not yet been made and the Vactrol FIlter is much larger than it;'s finished size and without graphics.. Also notice the expansion module strip has been installed and that the MAQ 16/3 in the bottom right corner has been replaced by Milton,

ABOUT A YEAR AGO

We now see the faceplate completed for the Miniwaves, Steiner Filter, Vactrol FIlter and Sample and Hold.

CURRENT INCARNATION

This is another angle of the system shown and described on the main Frakensynth page
