try this for your encoder issue. http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/fix_for_skipping_encoders

those look nice. too big for my seq (twice the size as TL1240) but maybe another project. thanks.

i'm for sure using e-switch's TL1240 with and without LED. my seq panel is designed around them :). thanks db, i didn't think of that.

hi, in a couple weeks i will be placing an order for more of these switches (green). i will add 40 of the red ones to the order. i forgot the price, but my guess is each switch (with cap) is around $2 to $2.50 USD. in the meantime i'll set up my paypal so i can receive money (or is it set up like that by default?). i'll gladly mail you the switches at cost plus whatever shipping costs. it won't be a very big package so it shouldn't be too expensive. i think in the future i may need the favor returned, so i will ask you :). i can't recall if i have ever mailed anything overseas. does anybody have any advice i should know about this? (united states to france). thanks. drew

it's not available like that. i looked simply because the demo doesn't let you try the hpgl export. it's certainly worth the money if it saves you money on multiple panels. perhaps sometime soon i'll have it and i can offer some feedback.

the side piece has flanges on all five sides. apparently it's possible because my par-metal cases have 90 degree bends on four sides. the rest of the pieces "wrap" around those flanges, and attach to them. the top and bottom piece also have a flange (i didn't put in the 45 degree angle needed to clear the other flanges yet) and those will go to the back. the rear panel will attach to those flanges. the front panel will attach to flanges of the side piece. it's gonna be steel.

well, here's the design so far. front panel: back panel (tentative design): the front and back panels will be made by front panel express. the other pieces will be cut and bent by my girlfriend at the metals lab at school. each custom panel has a 1/2" flange that will be bent inward for attachment pieces. the small angles you see at the corners in the side image are actually the borders. the pieces sticking out are the flanges to be bent. side piece: top piece: bottom piece:

i'm curious about people's successes in using frontdesigner. apparently you can save money on engraving with front panel express by making the design in frontdesigner, exporting to hpgl, and importing into fpd. here's a thread with tips on saving money in fpe, including how to export to hpgl and back into fpd. http://electro-music.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20883

hi. nice piece. what's the part # of those switches?

it wasn't a complaint, i just wanted to put the information out there to see if it was just me or a known issue.

hi, since this stuff happened with the forum, i often get no topics when i click "show unread posts since last visit", however the new replies do show up. other times it works. is anybody else experiencing this?

thanks for this new chat. i can connect via mirc! can you set it to -t so we call can set a topic?

i have a bunch of those and will be using them for my sequencer. check e-switch's site for a distributor list.

nice work, especially on those illuminated switches. i tried that a while back but i couldn't get it sanded smooth enough.

i decided to make a case for my seq that will allow both rack and desktop use. i know there's been other people interested in doing this so i'll post my developments here. i based my design off the 4U v-synth xt case. i simply measured it and scaled it down to a 3U design for the seq. here is a side shot. the plugs on the back of the case will stick straight out when on a desktop and angle upward when in a rack. the jacks will be placed closer to the bottom so they don't interfere with anything above it in the rack. the front and back panels will be made by fpe, and the remaining three panels will be single pieces cut on a laser. the side pieces will each have a lip bent inward with self-clinching nuts such as these. i'm considering making some kind of bent rail pieces that will install over the seams of the panels, but that will depend on the cost of these self-clinching nuts and the finish of the laser machine. they'd be more of a nice touch for looks so i'm not going to do it if the finish isn't nice. lately, i'll mount some rubber feet to the bottom for desktop use. any tips, comments, or suggestions are appreciated.

lets make sure we take into account the parts that huck already got. i guess i have to get around to paying you for them. :)

i've ordered from them twice. the $7 flat shipping fee (if it's still that price) kinda stinks if you don't need much, but they ship very quickly.

lars, could you please post close-up high-res pictures of the screenprinting? (perhaps the most detailed parts). i'm still interested in having you do some work on my seq panel. everything you have there looks great so far. good work!

not i. how about a myspace group? i think there's a lot more people on there. http://www.myspace.com/u1tra

it's actually not that hard to start using, it just can go a long way. it's pretty interesting how you can use various devices to change/trigger other devices. i didn't realize it was still around, and is now free. thanks.

it looks like the image on a t-shirt that i have that says "robotron 3000".

i hope he's ok.

yeah this has been talked about in a few threads on the forum. i think i'll try it when i get a chance.

to my knowledge, each output sends the same information. but that doesn't stop you from using a different midi channel for each device.

outstanding, can't wait to see it.
