There are a couple of 1/4" jack based versions in the photos section. I
suggest that you 'beware' about MOTM format. Depending on what you mean it
could add a LOT of time, effort, and cost to your Milton. Peter is building
a Milton for me even as we speak. It is 'MOTM' compatible in that it will
be 5U high, 10U wide, and use 1/4" jacks. It will not be using the MOTM pot
spacing however. You'll get a better idea why when you check out some of
the photos. The MOTM pot spacing make for a huge panel! In fact, if you
check out the Q960 Sequencer on Synthesizers.com, you'll see that even an 8
stage sequencer will need smaller knobs.

Also, Stooge industries is continuing so you should still be able to pursue
that avenue for your panel. Also, Jeff P. on this list has an FPD file for
his MOTM panel. He is friendly and helpful.

Good luck with your Milton.
