excellent, I might buy 1 of each as a tester to see what they are like and if they are worth the extra. Cheers

Hi, looking for good solid panel mount pots, nice and stiff like an allen & heath mixer. Im going to be using Farnell in the UK for the parts, and looking at the ALPS section (as i hear they are very good) - the 2 i have narrowed it down to are as follows: http://uk.farnell.com/alps/rk11k11410ka/potentiometer-10ka/dp/1191745 http://uk.farnell.com/alps/rk09711110k/potentiometer-10k/dp/1191710 Whats the difference between these 2? (apart from the 2nd one looking cooler and all metal) Does the different shaft heights limit what knob I can use? It seems ALPS type B pots are log, but their type As are LINEAR. Its linear i need right? Thanks for the help

ok no problem, i will build the main kit to get up to speed 1st! Cheers

is it possible to get the GM5 as a full kit from anywhere then?

yes USB would be useful, I will add myself to the list but get on with the build while I wait.

I have changed the layout slightly, but I havent updated the 3d render yet :) Also, I have gone for Midibox 64e as it has easier support for encoders. I only have 7 but i read its harder to get encoders working on a normal midibox64?

hi guys, 1st time poster long time lurker. I was originally going to go down the UMC32 route, but as the project grew it became clear I would need a more flexible solution ( no support for encoders yet) Anyway, I have been doing lots (and lots!) of research, and I think I have got it down to exactly what i need. I have attached a quick schematic of the ins and outs, does this look right? I need: 14 pots 7 encs 37 buttons 24 led outs So its not the largest midibox project judging by some I have seen on here! Im going to be buying the board sets from mikes midishop, The only but im not sure about is how to know which parts go where? im quite handy with a soldering iron but dont really know anything about circuit diagrams. Does anyone know if they come with any instructions at all? im willing to learn if not. I have seen a good instruction PDF from SmashTv but the board looks a bit different for the core? Anyway, i hope you like my design, let me know if you see any problems with it. I will keep you updated with progress reports Cheers Neil *** update - new pic posted later on in the thread ***
