nice!
IMHO in the VCF section the "signal in" connectors shoudl be 1/4 jacks and the "voltage in" banana jacks. _________________ Association of experimental electronics

Thanks man,
I'm not a musician and I just want to make some weird noises and effects with the sound lab. I wanted to fit everything inside a relatively small box hence the smaller jacks.
I'm gonna stick with the 1/8 jacks and use adapters. The Jacks are Tip jacks made by Johnson components and the pots are all 16mm.
More pix to follow as I start to build.
Cheers

there is a old topic jacks vs. banana and there is a discussion about bananas and jacks.
but jacks 1/4 or 1/8 are better for routing external audio signal in because the grounds connect on the same plug - if you use bananas and lets say wan´t to connect your CD player to VCF you need to have a extra banana for the ground - you have it right way on the VCA module so why not also on the VCF?.
a good example is Damion Romero's panel
it has also 8 ground points for bananas. for connecting whit external devices.
but everything depends on how you want to use your SL.
take a look at these topics
Signal Input Question
Audio In?
there is a .pch2 file that emulates Sound Lab.
whit this and G2 demo you can explore SL patching possibilities.

I'm sticking with the 1/8th jacks for audio signals, and the smaller tip jacks for voltages. This way I can fit more into less space.
I finished the board yesterday, next comes drilling the holes on the front panel of the case. Im using a Hammond sloping front box purchased from Allied Elec.......
Model # 1456KH3WHCWW

I will post some pics as I progress the case.

oh Man! tip jacks and specially tip plugs are so cute - also the Hammond slope case... - i´m curious to see the patchable micro SL.

I will try and take a few pics as I drill out the case and assemble all the pots, switches and jacks etc.
Maybe I will start a new thread entitlted 'Mini Sound Lab Construction Photo's' or something simular.
