Okay well in that case then I can provide info for other aussies , seems it is compatible. LCD's are here: http://www.cresttech.com.au/lcd_character.html Sorry I did search somehow I didn't find that before. Thanks for your help.
I'm in a similar situation although I have a little experience. Does anyone know a place for compatible LCD for midibox seq 40x2. I can only see winstar supplied locally from sites mentioned and cant find any reference here on wiki if the controller and LCD is compatible. Also i don't see any rotary encoders on smash's site. I assume this might not be hard to find locally? Greetings from Melboune..!
