Futureman Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 I've started building another sequencer, this ones for gigs, so more robust, and a bit cheaper to build.It's made from a found box and a found bit of aluminium.My first sequencer was all PCB mount, and while looks brilliant,, the PCB mounted switches made everything just that little bit harder to line up with the panel.. (No CAD, just a pencil). I'll post pics for that one when I replace the MDF face with a Proper one from Schaeffer.Me and a few friends are building one each, and I've gone for panel mount everything to make construction a little easier for my technically challenged mates.I've done everything by hand, with a cordless drill, jig saw, file and some sand paper.It's not exactly perfect, but it's coming along nicely.RegardsMike.Lightly sanded.JPG
Futureman Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Posted June 25, 2008 Now I'm just waiting on more buttons to arrive, and i'll be pretty much ready to finish it off.. oh, and some knobs.Mike
Sasha Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 Looks pretty robust, I reckon it can handle alot of dragging and live abuse.
Futureman Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Posted June 25, 2008 Just wire up a few more buttons & Leds..I'm digging the chrome on chrome on red action.Led's are go 2.JPG
dstamand Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 You are not using the 4x16 duo leds and buttons extension ?Pretty cool for playing live!
stryd_one Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 Panel mount rocks. I planned on doing the same, for the same reason - it's rock-solid.... just couldn't find nice enough switches for my very picky tastes.... well, not for under $20 each ;)
Futureman Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Posted June 25, 2008 just couldn't find nice enough switches for my very picky tastes.... well, not for under $20 each ;)you must have very very picky tastes for $20 each!The buttons I used were about 70c each.

basix Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 Looks great! I'm planning on doing a panel mount myself as well after the holidays ;)

Futureman Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Posted July 14, 2008 Been a bit side tracked with work... but finished yesterday.. just gotta find some knobs.IMG_0066.JPG
Sasha Posted July 14, 2008 Report Posted July 14, 2008 HC. Congratulations. Looking forward to see it with knobs. Hopefully some silver to match the jog.
Futureman Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Posted July 14, 2008 yea, I'm thinking of keeping with the "on the cheap" DIY with that, And making some.. but def on the chrome / silver / aluminium side.
stryd_one Posted July 14, 2008 Report Posted July 14, 2008 Yeh spun aluminium man it's gotta be. That's lookin sweet!
