Starting a post to show the progress of my MIDIbox seqv4 build. Go! Ordered the STM32f4 CORE and MIDI IO. They are in progress. stuffed the 20 pin dip in backwards! oops! How the fuck did i do that? :( Marked it to remind myself. Also wating for the 25 position headers for the discovery socket. i had a hard time finding these in the US. so ebay? ok. Also had to order the 74HCT541 on ebay. Also ordered an AOUT original version which i don't have parts for yet. I am waiting for the seqv4 control panel pcb to show up at smashTV. Also need a second MIDI IO pcb from smashTV. i may buy a panel from fabien at "thebeast". i may order a panel from frontpanelexpress. i am on the list for the 3rd round of the "SEQ4 Heidenreich Case Bulk 2014". i need to design and build a power supply. i want to control my modular eurorack and midi gear. alsoneed to fixmyspace bar!

Hola, it has been a while since the last photo tutorials - I really wanted to do this for some time, but there was always work or some other distraction... but now, there is some time to spend at the solder station :smile:. This will be a documented one-time build for a MIDIbox member, who is an industrial designer and wants to create his own MBSEQ enclosure and frontpanel (thus the non-standard control surface LEDs). Am very eager to see the end result :-). Each step will be photo-documented and contain parts lists, where possible - hope you enjoy the build documentation and that it may be some help to other people wanting to build a MBSEQ, who may yet be intimidated by the amount of parts necessary, the soldering or the software configuration. I will try to structure this tutorial in such a way, that progress is quickly visible - and that you do not need to assemble everything before "turning it on" the first time. The faster some progress is visible, the higher the motivation to continue building... :-) The MBSEQ is the most awesome piece of music gear, that I own - many thanks to TK. and Wilba, who made it possible! Enough talk, let´s get started :-) Many greets, Peter Here are links to other existing photo tutorials: Custom SEQ V4 (DIY control surface, VFDs, ebony wood carrier): MB6582 Control Surface:

There is a thread over at the MBSEQ section of the forum that discusses my 16x4 BLM PCB design. I have now created a Wiki entry that holds all the necessary documentation for building you own 16x4 BLM, including board schematics, Gerber files, and so on. Kind regards, ilmenator
