Great. Thanks otropom!

Sorry, yes, I understand that. I ordered the same VCC LEDs you had specified in that earlier post. But the original pushbuttons selected by Midiphy - the 3FTH9 - use a different LED than the ones you selected to fit the 5GTH920, right? And since they do use a different LED than the VCC VAOL-3MWY4 you selected, I'm assuming the current draw or voltage requirements may be different. So my my question was meant to be if you replaced the series resistor to that LED from the originally specified one. Sorry I clearly need to go through the BOM and build documentation to check to see which LEDs are supposed to be there on the stock build, and I can check the datasheet and compare the voltage and current requirements for the originals and the ones you selected, but I just figured since you had documented everything else if there was indeed a resistor swap that needed to happen, I'd have rather anticipated it than need to make a note to test or check.

Yep, I saw those posts. I went ahead and ordered the same switches, switch caps, and VCC LEDs you linked to, but for the white TH LEDs - since they're different than the SMD one originally specified - did you need to change the series resistor? Thanks for making all that info so readily available, too. It's been great for me to dig through and order the same parts. The diffusers you made for the beat clock LED are awesome too. I may try to rig up something like that. How did you fixture the acrylic when machining it? I also have a bunch of LED lenses laying around, may try to see if one of those will fit the hole.. or maybe I'll enlarge the hole to allow them to fit.

I've been scanning through this thread now that I'm getting ready to build mine.. Wish I'd done so before I ordered the bulk of the parts!! Antichambre - your custom mods look fantastic. I'd like to use the same pushbuttons and caps as you. They look really great. Did you have to use a different value resistor to accommodate the different LED?

So these are all claimed... I'd be interested in a set if anyone changes their minds on theirs.

Ahh bummer. Well, they look great.

Those look great. Are they snap on replacements?

I've been looking at MIDIbox on and off for years, and found the v4 while researching a different sequencer. After a bit of digging deeper, and not being too sure which boards were necessary, where to spec them, how to get the case made to fit the face panel on top of, etc, I found this thread. So for the v4, while the open-ended nature of building your own, to your own spec, etc, is really wonderful, along with a lot of community support along the way, that level of open-ended project is deeper than I am currently looking for, and it was going to be prohibitive for me. The way I work, it would have sprawled and prevented me from focusing as much on making some music. So making something like the midiphy kits available is a huge boon for me. So I want to say thank you for making and compiling the kits, cases, and instructions! If it wasn't for you and Hawkeye doing this, I wouldn't be building one now.

Sweet. Thanks for that clarification. Really looking forward to it!

Hey everyone. I'm new here too. I just ordered a kit. I'm looking forward to building it and integrating it into my setup! Still need to work my way through all the documentation. Is the v4 manual apply for the v4+? Is there an addendum or anything like that going over the differences or how to take advantage of the extra interface options? Also, I'm spec'ing out an SD card- is there a size limit to stay within? The one in the BOM is 8gb, but I can get a 32gb for cheaper elsewhere, and all the 8's are more expensive for some reason... Thanks!
