Thank you Nils, but I don`t have a idea what dimensiionsare you talking about. ??? PCB size 8800x1925? mil. as short of millimeter? As I see you cannot publish the vector, can you wright me the dimensions I marked with letters and I`ll draw and publish the EPS?

Nils, could you publish some vector of holes and connector placement for people who plan to build a custom casing?

Edrum supports 24 velocity sensitive trigger inputs not 8. ;)

Thank you Thorsten for this very quick implementation. Too bad I still don`t have SEQ to try it out.

It works, but I would feel bad to supply it with just 7V. 320mA is fine if normal LEDs are used.

That one looks right, and it can deliver enough juice so you can illuminate whole box. ;)

Cool. :) But, are you talking about MIOS32 or current one?

Just desolder the PCB and you`ll left with only 2 wires. Don`t use the adapters that has multiple voltages. Find single voltage adapter and you`ll have no problems find 2 wires. ;)

No, use a wallwart DC adapter, not naked transformer. You don`t wanna make any kind of housing, don`t you? EDIT: This is the phone adapter I modified

No, it is not Lexan. It is Rowmark (french company) Texture. It is material based on acrylic for outdor usage with special coatings to protect it from UV and other weather conditions. It is extremely scratch proof. I think Lexan overlays are printed, my panel is laser engraved. Vlad, why you think there are something risky about doing it? There are only 2 wires going out of the transformer. As you don`t wanna use any electronic just solder the wires before rectifycation diodes or remove the PCB completely as you don`t need it. Thet is what I did. I`d let my mother do it with no worry.

Just find normal DC adapter and connect the wires directly to the trafo secondary. Just make sure the adapter is hold by screws and it is not glued togerher. I bought a bunch od old Alcatel mobile 500mA 12V adapters on a flea market very cheap. They are perfect for the x0x. EDIT: This is how my second x0xb0x looks like. It has only white diffused LEDs.

I also didn`t left the place for stickers. Remembering which is where is not good idea after few beers on a gig. Doesn`t it? I`ll left more space at the bottom for the labels. Thanks for the tip.

Yes, that would be handy way to do it. I like how this idea progressing. :)

Mike, my mistake. I thought you joined play/pause. It is not problem to add dedicated pause button. Stryd, thanks for an offer, If I find out one more button don`t fits the arrangement on my design I`ll ask for you help. ;) Mike, did I left something else?

That is very good idea. I like better idea of using play button for the task instead some other. It is more logical.

I agree. Thanks for the advice.

I just recently tried to sync some of my gear and experienced problems (drifting). So I decided to build an clockbox to take care of it. I tested it with x0xb0x and PC ans seams it`s working fine. I`ll go with Mike`s code modification. Thanks Mike. This is work in progress design of the unit itself. For buttons and caps I decided to recycle PC keyboard as it seams most durable for the job and cost me almost nothing. Some advice or suggestion is very welcome EDIT: picture changed

Might be the case. Stickers can be silkscreended as any other material. I didn`t mean he printed common thin PVC foil, I expect it is rather something thicker and bit harder, like those x0xb0x overlays sold by UK custom synth company. Check out the shiny aspect of my x0xb0x sitting on the floor. It is also not metal but the panel surface has layer that looks alike. There are all sort of screenable self adhesive foils these days. You can get any look you want. Brushed aluminum, marble, woods... you name it. I hope the SE is completely made out of aluminum but I doubt it. Anyway, doesen`t matter. I never wanted to purchase it, but it inspired me to use the same casing for the x0xb0x. I`m thinking of ordering just side profiles and cut panels locally as Schaeffer is pretty expensive and their shipping to Serbia is too high.

Well, I wasn`t inspired by Farrary... to fancy for my taste. It was Roland SH-101 :) About SE x0x... it looks really nice but having flattened controls is not good idea for controls that you tweak a lot and all the time. Also, all knobs are way too high for the unit`s size. To me it looks pretty unproportional even there is no any side picture you can see it. It is more for bigger preamp kind of gear than for x0x. Another thing is sticker. It covers all the screws nicely which is great but it seams not very durable. Check the logo print. Anyway, the casing is great. I did some investigation after I saw SE and find out Schaeffer is making these kind of cases. It is based on the side profiles and it is hold together with 8 screws. Same casing you can see on Acidlab Bassline and beautiful Rozzbox (with different orientation) I am seriously thinking of making the variation on the same case.

Malekko, thanks for an offer, but for me it is not allowed to send a box full of same looking stuff. One of the reasons I didn`t send your panels directly to you. It counts as a business, and business is allowed only for companies to do it and only trough export agencies, not directly. For me, it is allowed only to send something as a gift for "domestic, personal use" How stupid and undefined is that?! I can`t explain how much troubles I had only to receiving the box full of small parts from Mike. Customs chick said it couldn`t be for personal usage and I must be making something for selling, and I`m not allowed to do business if I`m not company... Uninformed might think now Serbia is very sorted legal country even it is far from that.

I built and tested another x0xb0x with substitution transistors on non critical places and I can confirm too it work well. Here is the copy of mail from bcbox from ladyada forum

Hi Malekko, thank you for informing me about packet arrival. I started to worry as it took some time. Glad you like it. :) About translucent buttons... I still didn`t have time to make and test direct replacement for ITT caps. Even my buttons looks nice the price for its beauty is need for making new panel that has no LED holes above buttons, just 16 step LEDs . Or keeping the LEDs unconnected to serve just as a plug for holes in the panel and connect a new one for button illumination. I think it would be a shame to do it this way but cheaper. Probably the best way to go is to make custom mod set for the hardcore x0xb0x lovers that would consist of buttons and new panel/subpanel set. I doubt much people would be willing to throw away the panel they payed and pay for a new one. Another, old problem is sending the packages from Serbia. I wouldn`t rely on other people to do it for me from another country again, so it can be slow process - 1 set a week. We`ll see... First I`d like to see people actually build their kits. I built few by now, but housed only one. I never posted some pix of finished box, so here it is... I painted part of PT10 side black so it has slimmer appearance. Still need to cut a PVC mask and spray the white logo at the back panel like on this photoshopped picture

You should wright these hex values after you burn the firmware, but make sure you add external ceramic oscilator to a programming adapter before you do this. lfuse: 0xFF hfuse: 0xD4 efuse: 0xFF No need to order preprogramed chip if you have a programmer. Just burn those fuses and it should work.

Cool. I`m glad you like it. And, thank YOU Mike, you did nothing less then me to make this project see the light of the day. And yes, more acid and less stress for all of us in the next year. ;)

You are welcome. I hope the waiting worth it.
