Just thought I'd do a small blog entry on the sideproject (I consider the synths my main projects). A midibox 64e. This is a short term project, and all parts have arrived or are on their way. It's gonna have 9 encoders, lcd and some buttons + 4 expression pedal connections. One pedal is soon built - waiting for the last parts to...]]> Thu, 10 May 2012 21:52:00 +0000 http://midibox.org/forums/blog/34/entry-101-mb64e-side-project/ http://midibox.org/forums/blog/34/entry-88-easter-saturday-calls-for-finalizing-model/
I had a small update on this blog yesterday, but promised a new one today, and here it is. The finished model (except for a spray paint coat to seal up the wood - that comes next).

I am assuming now that the build is gonna be a bit slower the days to come, because I need to figure out a couple of things when it comes to casting the mold....]]> Sat, 07 Apr 2012 17:31:00 +0000 http://midibox.org/forums/blog/34/entry-88-easter-saturday-calls-for-finalizing-model/ http://midibox.org/forums/blog/34/entry-87-dinner-party-in-between-no-good-for-workflow-d/ The enclosure is soon ready for the warp core!

Today, before and after easter dinner party at the in-law's place , I killed some time in the workshop. Enclosure model is due to be finished tomorrow - or at least the wood work part of it. Still needs heavy bondo work to be all there, but I am pretty sure I'm starting...]]> Fri, 06 Apr 2012 19:03:00 +0000 http://midibox.org/forums/blog/34/entry-87-dinner-party-in-between-no-good-for-workflow-d/ http://midibox.org/forums/blog/34/entry-86-enclosure-building-continues/

Today I used up some hours of my day off for enclosure construction!

A couple of pictures of the build so far:


A picture of the front. Didn't have all the right tools, so it was a pain getting everything line up, so some bondo work will be needed to correct everything before making the...]]> Thu, 05 Apr 2012 19:54:00 +0000 http://midibox.org/forums/blog/34/entry-86-enclosure-building-continues/ http://midibox.org/forums/blog/34/entry-84-project-bulding-the-case-status-started-d/

Just a short update.

The usians finally came through, and sent me the cloth I ordered a long time ago. This is gonna be used for the front panel. Rest of the case is being cast in plain fibreglass. Colors for the case was originally green / black, but the cloth wich is gonna be cast in transparent epoxy, were not available in...]]> Fri, 09 Mar 2012 19:28:00 +0000 http://midibox.org/forums/blog/34/entry-83-texalium-cloth-for-littlesid-case-front-panel-unpacking-d/
