I just completed my sequencer and start to lern to use it. One thing that I find kind of frustrating is saving patterns. The simples way I found so far is to press menu+save->select(2sec). I think this interrupts the process a bit. Is it possible to do it in a simpler way or is it possible to add a shortcut, like pressing f4 once to save the pattern in the selected slot?

I think it is just the picture, because I ordered them from Mouser using the reference on the parts guide in the wiki.

My build so far. The LCD windows are from TwinX, the LCDs from Optex from the recent bulk order. As usual the pictures doesn't do them right. One of the pictures show my jog wheel encoder soldering. I just bent the leads upwards. The cable is for the button.

Just contributed. Do it you too :D

Another question. Did you solder the ribon cable directly to the lcd or is there space enough to use idc connectors at lcd side too?

2mm?! That's like nothing! Did you solder them directly to the pcb or did you use header and stuff?

Please, I need to know ;)

This has probobly been asked before, but should the connectors be soldered on the top side (against the front panel) or on the back/solder side against the interior (eg the core module etc)? The first seems right, but the second more practical...

Are there any features implemented for the encoder switch? I happen to have an Voti encoder with switch laying around.

I think 2 sec delay sounds good.

Thanks!

I am interested in these. Were did you find them?

I got the LCSs! Thanks! And I didn't have to pay any customs or taxes. Lucky me! :D

Yeah!

The stress on the studs will be much greater then on the corner screws of the mb6582, so this is obviously a different story.

@Wilba: How will Dougs case attach to the panel? Will the panel have to be processed further? Will anything more than the CS PCB rely on the studs and JB-Welded spacers? I had no problem with my MB6582 panel, so maybe drilling no holes in the back side of the panel and doing it the MB6582 way with JB-Welded countersunk screws using julianf's panel is an option after all...

What about Core32?

I got my PCB last week :)

I think the .fpd file för the rack mount panel specifies 3mm aluminum.

So, if using your .fpd files and order the pannel from Schaeffer then the cavities and blind holes for the LCD are included. As I understand it Julianf can make the cavities, but not the blind holes. He will either make the hole right through or no hole at all. The price he gave is for the 19" version.

Can you explain the might? Is it optional or don't you know? I will probobly order from Schaffer eventhough it is slightly more expencive. I want blind holes :D

I asked julianf if he could make panles and sent him the unopt 19" .fpd file. He can do it, but will not be able to make the threaded blind holes. Here is his reply: If anybody is interested, drop him a line.

What MidiBox gear (if any) have been used in the production?

I think you are pretty much right. I used a strip of tape to separate them. M2.5 screws fit perfectly, but M2 works too.

Well, I don't. I have thought of that solution too and burying inside the sequencer is probobly a good idea. One reason to change card would be to separate different projects, but putting the slot on the rear side is deffenetly enough.
