Kartoshka

;) I fully understand that it takes your personal time and effort, and this is something no one can ask from you, but only if you willing trade it! Sasha it would be a bliss if you can manufacture some of these for us. I'm in. :P

Man.. 8) it would be highly unfair to tease us with these sweet handy icecubes you show... these are supreme to anything shown before! Dammit! :)

i'm really loving the laserable plastics/acrylic solution! ::) found some useful links to rowmark finishes: Rowmark color chart some various lastercut techniques explained, incl. rowmark engravings

next quote to be written to my handbook.. that's a good one.

2c: Kartoshka has no problems waiting for these even a year, to reach desired scheme plan ::)

would be nice if we could have these. for now, count me for 25 | 25 of what has been offered now.

actually this is pretty interesting topic, any further/pics of proccess would be invaluable. i'm having a chance to buy 70% of my gear from US, which often come with internal PSUs. Must admit that buying from US is much cheaper even after paying taxes, shipping and duties, than buying locally. i'm using stepdown adapters, but it would be much convenient to replace the internal transformer.

same proportions here ;D but still not married.

:o >:( omg man. i'm speechless again. so much money for this kind of service! >:( i can equate DIY project damage to a situation where photo lab looses your film: they're refunding you only for the new one, not for the effort and studio hours you've put onto. on the other hand, you can make a comparison of similar synths available on the market, and approximate the loss. both ways, Highly Sucks... :'( custom items value much more than any money.

I have a q about resonators: on Mike's list there's a set of 2 resonators, 16 and 8 mhz. Limor advises to use 16 and 6Mhz.... i guess it's typo..? :-[

it's your luck then that you weren't very hungry and did not eat more than that one ;D

any news on this? ... ::)

23 pages of me too! ;D is this like any other average queue? ... i'm impressed.

THIS SHIT IS SOOO oooooooooooooow-some! come to get some!

in attached file, the corections spoken - typographic mistakes - without modifying original Sasa's design too much. also, env mode corrected. Looking through 303 and x0x layouts, one question arose: is it should be tuning or tune knob? on 303 it's tuning; while on limor's x0x it's tune. Last, for Kartopersonalized version, week leading is minimim ::) .. a lot of work should be done here. i voted for screening as this advances the design. I gonna use at least 2 colors, white and ... hmm the lovely typographic dark red. Or my favorite orange ;) FINALNI TOP PANEL.zip FINALNI TOP PANEL.zip

Thanks, Sasa. True, everything is converted. No matter. Results in a week. ;) That's my usual leading time ;)

http://stream.qtv.apple.com/qtv/plexifilm/helveticatrailer_100.mov http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrR-P5M1hRY&feature=related Arial, the free Microsoft font - not typeface - is stolen and stripped down Helvetica. If you're interested in graphics design, I strongly advice you to watch Helvetica The Documentary movie. Next time you're at your local DVD store, remember to ask for it; not because it's good movie, but because it's a good lesson in modern history. You're correct, Helvetica is a pretty much the neutral typeface we got used for. But no need to use it, there's a whole world behind Helvetica and the acid message can be delivered not less clearly with other choices... although this could be a nice challenge if readability becomes additional parameter (canceling each other! ;D ::)). I don't know which typeface is this, but i must admit that the kerning (space between letters in a word) is incorrect. It should be a bit shorter. If you really want to know which one is it, we can post a query in http://www.typophile.com/. These sharks know everything. i think this is best solution too and I find it very useful. i do want additional one to experiment, but first i need to know it's price of course! ;) Then slash glyph is redundant. Differences between typefaces. How you would differentiate between Headline, Sub-headline, Sidenotes and Text blocks within information flow. Using one typeface is more challenging task to accomplish this, and this exactly the reason designers like whole families of typefaces and not a single font. ;D yes that can be verrrry niiice. i would like you to post or PM me the artwork you've already done, just to make all corrections suggested, and not doing everything from scratch. You won't have to use it anyways, if you won't like it. Thanks Sasha! ::)

great music, thanks for sharing. made my morning.

Ok, well. let's look on the panel from typographic point of view. let's exclude panel graphical design, as this is a matter of taste. As i'm part of this set, i want to advice about typefaces and readability. First of all, the typeface used, that roland instuments font, designed to be a 'headline' typeface - and not to be used in extensive reading. Headline typeface term mean to be used here as a catchy name which appears once-twice and works as a contrast to other typefaces on whole plate. Think of 'ground' and 'live' lines across any electronic circuit. this particular typeface is 'live', and even high voltage, it should be used with great care. i concur that this typeface choice makes a whole hype of 'environment' feeling, mostly because of our common previous experience with other roland gear which proudly bear it's shapes. Because of this typeface choice, this instrument screams and cries to be roland, like a teen spending her parent's cash for a overpriced fancy shirt, just to look like her pop-idol, which she will never become. Do we want to be roland? My guess, not. Otherwise, go ebay - there's original 303's on sale. Money? Fuck money. Be Roland. for x0x, Better strategy is to build separate brand, even if it's based on same circuitry. ::) wilba is correct about rear sockets labeling - i can't see no reason for this type of information on FP, once you plug the gear up you will never need that information again. I'm a slave to design and will invest my every last agura [israeli variation for 1/100 fraction of currency] in my pocket to make it as much pleasant as we can :) Run/stop label is problematic - why breaking the line after slash? either leave slash out or make whole label name on same line. kayboard i guess is keybaord. Mode label is insufficient and while all others appear centered to knob axis, this one stands out. either need support from other label(s) mis-centering, or otherwise eliminating it. once knobs attached, this mis-aligning would become more visible. Wave shapes. they can have a better presence - like line width, or inverting it within a square box or something. now it looks orphan (parentless?), too bare. Sequencer numbers can be much more smaller - while some of them can stand out - be bolder, bigger, inverted or both ;) You decide. The limit is only the technique used - screen/engraving minimum x-height. a good consideration could be typographic hierarchies - you're using them, but with current typeface it's less apparent. overall, nice design! ;) //EDIT: NO, i don't mean to throw more work on you Sasha! ;) If you can share the file (plus font file of course - free fonts foundries - no copyright issues), i'll gladly do it myself for everybody's well being readability ;D.

whatever the team decides to go on, i'm definitely for that one set plus raw panels set for personal screening tests.

i advice you to talk with theProf, u-s, if you want to get rid of them within this x0x order

it says "he ..llo" 8)

thanks, my project needs this one ... now in hebrew, please ::) ;D

i have all the resistors and caps already, so i vote no. it was really easy to go thru the list and order them all from local supplier or a webshop, took me only one evening rechecking every part about 5 times.

*Kart is speechless*
