Here's some extra images of everything.

Here's whats available (all bare PCBs come with the parts to build them): 3xcore (2 built, 1 bare) 6xDOUT (2 built, 2 bare, 2 resistors added) 4xAIN (2 built, 2 bare) 6xDIN (4 built, 2 bare) 2xLTC (bare) 28x Sparkfun button pads (x4 buttons on each) 6x Sparkfun thumb joysticks+boards 14x Knobs 14x Pots A number of orange LEDs Some custom made button boards with LEDs in the center of the buttons. There's three 2x4s and one 3x4(I have the pattern if you want it). 2xCNC'd aluminium cases (I can give you more info on these if interested, but they'll take approx a core, USB driver, IEC port with switch, 2xDOUTs, 2xAINs, 2xDINs etc)

Sorry, reviving an old thread. These are all still available, I'd like to sell as one bundle if possible, pm me offers and I'll take the highest one. If no-one is interested in the lot by next weekend I'll start to split it up. I thought I might get some free time to start up this project again, but man do kids take up your time!!! Hopefully someone will be able to make something awesome from it!

From a project I never finished. 2x enclosures, cnc'd from a block of aluminium that were designed to take the boards you see in the photos, plus a USB driver (GM5) and Power Supply. Holes are the back are for fused IEC port (kettle lead) and USB. You can have the perspex top if you want, but I'm sure someone will find use for the enclosure with a custom faceplate. Open to offers. Thanks Christian ( Location = Uk )

Still up for sale. £45 inc p&p to EU or nearest offer.

I never managed to finish my project and now after having a baby won't find the time to do it, so I'm selling the parts. To my knowledge all boards are in working order, however I will take refunds for any board that is not. I have 3 sets in total. One set is still packaged up and untouched. Sent me a PM with an offer for anything you fancy or any questions. Thanks Christian ( Location == Uk)

You can see the circuit boards here: http://www.monstamusic.co.uk/2010/06/how-to-diy-pcbs/ Due to me having a newborn in the house I can't really make any new boards, but can provide you with the file I used.

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/7836 You'll probably have to create your own board for 8x3 but the buttons cut up easy enough. I've got some 3x4 boards from this project.

Which ones, the button boards? Cause it's all run of a MidiBox64. The button/pot boards I'd imagine would work fine as they're just simple circuits.

Starting to split, so last chance if anyone is interested.

I have a load of buttons, knobs and thumbsticks available. Open to offers.

Make me a sensible offer and it's yours.

I'm going to split this into components if no-one is interested in taking the whole project.

I have an unfinished (yet all parts there) midibox for sale. The project can be viewed here: http://www.monstamusic.co.uk/ I have two CNC'd boxes with faceplates, all the components and hardware to finish the boxes up. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks Christian

Thanks Phunk, Yeah it's wordpress, based on a theme from Smashing Magazine. I just left all the backend code as it was and re-did the interface.

I guess Miscellaneous was probably a better bet!

I was thinking there must be quite a few bloggers here and I usually find it really exciting/informative to see other peoples projects etc... So if you're interested in setting up a MidiBox blogroll, add your links here. Monsta http://www.monstamusic.co.uk

Wicked, thanks man! Ok so my old board should be ok then, which means I can just switch the Vs/Vd around as I please. I guess I'd want the voltage to increase as I turn the knob Clockwise, but I'm presuming I can just invert this in software anyway. I'll get it all etch up tomorrow! Cheers Monsta

Hey everyone, I'm etching some boards for my project and wondered if I could chain pots like this: I originally made this board double sided so I didn't have to chain them together, but this would be much better for me if it works. On a related note, I have these pots from sparkfun, if you face them towards you with the pins at the top, am I correct in saying that Vd is on the left and Vs on the right (to fit the board above)? Thanks for any help Monsta P.s. I have created an instructable on how to make double sided PCBs at home if anyone is interested: http://www.monstamusic.co.uk/2010/06/how-to-diy-pcbs/

Ok thanks TK, as usual! Adding those two lines to my bash_profile worked perfectly. I haven't tested the result on the Core/GM5 yet, hopefully I'll get the chance tonight/tomorrow, but the "make" works fine now. Monsta
