    Thanks!

    Ok, so I ordered some resistors from canada :o Was the nearest ebay place I could find them - for those dont't know - that's the other side of the planet from norway :P.

    I'm a little anxious to see how bright the leds are with those resistors. I have a led resistor calculator on my android, and I have been to lazy to calculate on my own. But that calculator says that I should use 130 ohm resistor 5 volt source, 2.5v across diode and 20mA. The ones I ordered in is 180 ohms. Lets see how it works out - somehow I think it's gonna be just as good... But I haven't got too much experience with driving LEDs from 5 volt, so I really can't tell for sure, but now when I tested them on 12 volt I have used 560 ohm resistor, and that is just about the same as 180 ohms 5 volt, so I think it's gonna be fine.

    Oh shit, don't even start talking about this stuff!

    I have my cs pcb on my work bench now, and I haven't got a front panel yet, but all the tacts are soldered in place! :) Haha, and I can see there is many of the tactiles that is not in optimal position :P hehe.

    But I'll take that trouble when I get there. I have shit loads of tactile buttons in my drawer, so I guess desoldering a bunch of them shouldn't be any more trouble than the time it takes, and I guess, I have enough time ;). I need to get a quote on my frontpanel from julian soon, but the design isn't completely nailed yet, but I'm not laying another blub of solder on that cs board before I get the front panel hehe.

    Good luck on yours blatboy.

    Oh I also thought initially to build a minimal cs, but now when I hold the case in my hands, I can't settle with that.

    Any suggestions from you people who are more used to handling hardware synths what controls to include. I have ordered in a DINx4 and DOUTx4 from smash's shop, so that's what I'm limited to.

    I aim to make this my bring-to-gig sid synth (6582 for special occations :)), and What I was thinking about was to actually exclude the oscillator section, and bring with me filter, lfo and envelope. I am unsure about the matrix, wether to include it or not.

    Would of course also need the LCD and the control buttons and encoder.

    I have a lot of tact switches - bought a huge pack off ebay some time ago (13mm ones) and I have some encoders, but I'll just drop by Tim's if I need more.

    If you would have to choose 2 of the section in the full CS, what would it be? :)
