@Shuriken: Hope that's OK with the powers that be. They're made in Estonia by a mr Adrian Hallik. I'm unsure of the exact relationship, but I think he's employed at a metal shop with a screen printer.
I suggest you register over at Mutable and give a shout out to Adrian.
The Sonic Potions plastic case (acryl/Plexiglas) is cut by the same nice gentleman in Germany who does the plastic Mutable Instruments cases for Shruthi, Anushri and the Ambika. You could always try to contact him for other one-offs, but his business revolves around non-synth stuff most days. Ponoko/Formulor or something like Seedstudio might be more suited for prototypes or for cutting down on shipping depending on your continent.
Some other DIY synths like the PreenFM 2 and the Audiothingies P6 also use similar cases. Plus the Peter Kvitek devices like the MidiALF and such. Somehow the Sammich SID begat the Sammich FM that inspired Mutable who then propagated across :D
If you feel like spending more, those projects mentioned are also available with screen-printed sheet metal boxes with wooden sides. That would probably cost a lot or end in tears for a one-off proto, but it can be done.

:D
I saw that Newhaven had revised their datasheets for the 4x20 OLEDs so that the actual jumper section looks like it does on the display. That might be a great way to get one working in 8-bit or 4-bit mode as you see fit...
With some luck things will be more calm round here so that I could investigate a bit.
I think that Scifo and Schrab were in luck with their builds. It would be nice to get a blow-by-blow write up on how to get an OLED rolling. I got frustrated and left the OLED alone to pursue some other DIY projects for the longest.
All that hardware - bridged. What's not to like?
Lemur or iPad remote edit/control over all devices - check.
Less latency issues - check.
Big fat physical MIDIbox controllers for the gear - yup.
This will become handy for me :)
Hehe, looks nice!
The MB6582 I did had 3x green LEDs per encoder. It helps a little, but I think the trick with the milky knobs is to go all out on a superbright LED, be it UV purple, white, green or whatever you fancy. :nuke:
Too bad a bulk for the Soundwell encoders means that some 1300€ needs to be reserved. My LED ring boards would eat approx 150, so a direct order from the factory means that more takers are needed.
Inkscape still works under OSX but you'll need to set up XQuartz as the standard Apple X-Windows server has been removed. Inkscape has worked for me and others in the past at least.
It's like a little nasty and fun auto-locator remote for the big MBseq. Must test this with mine :frantics:
Somehow the actual LED matrix reminds me of the good old WOPR which makes this an essential addon.
That's fantastic news!
I hit a snag related to having to support the OLED both in the bootloader, and in the app itself last I checked. Hmm. hopefully there's some time for this during the x-mas break...
The member julianf here has a company: http://www.thebeast.co.uk who can also cut these panels. They're cheaper than Schaeffer (Germany)/FrontPanelExpress (USA). Check them out!
