Nachdem ich im Februar noch sehr unerfahren an Vorwiderständen für LEDs gescheitert bin, kann ich jetzt ein paar Wochen später und um einige Erfahrungen reicher, meinen fertigen Sequencer präsentieren. Als Ausgangspunkt habe ich TKs Layout benutzt und an meine Bedürfnisse angepasst. Ich habe das Glück einige Schreiner und Tischler im Bekanntenkreis zu haben, die mir dann ein wunderschönes Gehäuse aus geölter Räuchereiche gebaut haben, welches für meinen Geschmack perfekt zum eloxierten Alu passt.

Ein dickes Dankeschön an TK für die hier erhältlichen Infos und Programme! Ebenfalls ein Dankeschön an Mike für seinen Platinenservice. Für mich ist ein Traum in Erfüllung gegangen.

Jetzt aber mal ein paar Bilder:

Der Sequencer läuft superstabil und funktioniert bis auf eine Sache perfekt. Ich bekomme am MIDI In der Core Platine bei zu vielen MIDI Daten einen MIDI Time Out und der Sequencer reagiert dann nicht mehr. Bin bereits das komplette MIDI Troubleshooting durch, habe den Optokoppler getauscht und dann sogar ein komplett neues Core Modul gelötet. Allerdings ohne Erfolg, immer noch exakt das gleiche Problem. Der MIDI In am ersten IIC Modul funktioniert hingegen prächtig. Vielleicht hat ja jemand eine Idee ....

Wow, das Gehaeuse ist wirklich beeindruckend! Einen Schreiner haette ich auch gerne in meiner naeheren Bekanntschaft! :)

Ich schiebe das Posting mal in die "MIDIbox of the Week" Sektion, das MIDI In Problem koennen wir in einem seperaten Thread versuchen zu loesen.

Gruss,
        Thorsten.

What an awesome finish - excellent!

@swindus: Would you mind to give a hint whether those knobs are available in Germany, or where else the´re from?

thanks!

I bought them in the Reichelt webshop in Germany. (http://www.reichelt.de)
Small knobs, the big knob and the caps for the knobs.
The big knob is cutted to match the height of the small ones.

Swindus, that is superb woodwork! :D Really classy. Congratulations.

I`m interested to know few things...
what kind of wood i is that?
what you used to protect the it`s surface?
how did you realized the horizontal corners? (top and bottom corners looks made out of solid part)
I would really like to see some more pix including internals and read some more about it. Thanks in advance.

In German it is called 'Räuchereiche'. I don't know the English name of it.
http://de.wikipedia....C3%A4uchereiche

First I wanted to lacquer it with clear coat but now it's just oiled which results in a very plain surface. Another advantage is that you can sand and oil it again in the case of scratches.

The horizontal corners are two pieces of wood glued together at the corner. After glueing they are just sanded.

At the moment I don't have any picture of the internals but I will post some soon.

And this is how it looks inside in the finished state. It's more messy than the outside but have in mind, this was the first time ever I have built an electronic circuit.  ;D

Cool. I love to see what`s under the skirt. Sometimes is nice and clean, sometimes messy, but it`s always interesting!  :)
I noticed your initial idea was using gray cap pot on every 4th step. I think you did good decision and it looks much sleeker now than it would look with those 4 gray caps knobs. Thank you for posting those pics for us gear porn lovers. ;)

Yes I tried several colors on the caps and the buttons but at the end I decided to use only black caps and some dark grey buttons.

Swindus, this MB-SEQ is simply beautiful! Excellent work! I'm really impressed with the woodwork and front panel without screw heads showing. I wish I knew how to build a wooden case like that, I would make my MB-SEQ the same way.
