Yes...go here:

the second section talks about a mp3 of a piece of music I've
just completed called Electrolux. The soundfile will not be
loaded for about 3 hours. It's a big one (9 megs).

But you can see a blow by blow description of the machine
although at the time, I did not yet have my Doepfer Frequency
shifter or pulse divider or the Analogue Systems' mixer, so there
are some differences from what's shown in the picture. I have
removed my Analogue Solutions Unity gain mixer and the two
mults (those three are going to be installed on the strip on top)
and I have put the A-192 into it's own little chassis because it's
not going to get the use as it once was and I figure I can pull it
out when needed.

The chassic was home built. Obviously, I modeled it after the
Buchla 200. I did this because I always liked the ergonomics
that afforded me - everything is within reach. It's made of 3/4
inch MDF. I made a scaledrawing in Illustrator and had a scale
printout of the side panels made which I used as a cutting
template. I had the finished box painted by a local midi rack
manufacturer.

The modules themselves are screwed into four 16 gage sheet
metal boxes which are in turn bolted to the inside of the cabinet.
I used 16 gage because i needed enough meat for the threads
to bite. I used sheet metal over alloy because I had a connection
to get them free. The upside, it's so freaking heavy I should
never have to worry about theft! The downside: it's FREAKING
HEAVY. Easily 75 pounds or something like that. Next time, I
think I'll make the expense to have alloy boxes made, although
that is expensive, about $500. Being able to get them free in
sheet metal was too much of a temptation for me.

Out of view, behind the modlues there is a space for the three
power supplies (two Doepfer's and one Lambda +/-15 for the
Blacet stuff). Yes, there are ten Blacet moldues in there which I
made custom photo sensitive alluminum faceplates for!

All of the modules onthe top row (from right of the second Blacet
Processor are all home built and designed: 2 channel voltage
processor, AND/NAND gate, a positive biased voltage inverter,
noise source, Moog Lowpass filter/envelope follower clone, a
programmable pulse generator with LFO and the 8x2
sequencer.

The future expansion panel (blank one next to the MAQ 16/3) is
probably going to have a touch plate trigger source I'm working
on, a flanger and the MIDI to CV output jacks.

hope this helps.
