Hi!
Pretty good actually. I wanted to get my panel ready before i reported back here but i think that might take another 5 years or so, haha.
Intitially the plan was to make a DJ type controller that would have sliders for a few channels and one across. Now i don't need that type of device any more so i decided to skip the sliders (they were just in the way) and keep it simple and make a controller i could use for synths and fx. I also decided to ditch the low quality buttons since they just didn't feel any good and were mainly annoying me.
I decided to really just get this ready with what i had and therefor i kept the original case and panel and just got them cut a bit shorter by a local carpenter for almost no money. What i ended up with is what you can see in the pictures. At first i had alot of random signals that were driving me crazy for a few hours before i found the loose connection. I redid some soldering and then ALL the problems were gone. Now it is working flawlessly!
As for the casing i cut the panel and wood myself and drilled it all the first time around. Since i removed some buttons it has a bit of a swiss cheese design. Maybe someday it will get some paint.
