nILS Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Hi y'all!First of all I got some questions about about cases. Which type of case would you prefer for a SIDBox? A 19" rack uni, a dektop unit or some suit-case type of fold-me-up-unit? :)The other thing is, since I'm usually more the programming and graphic guy, I keep creating new frontpanels for all sorts of cases. If y'all don't mind I'd like to post some - so you could give me a little feedback on what is ergonomic and what just plain sucks ;)Thanks in advance for your replies!

Nat Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Sure, seeing other peoples design is always enriching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted August 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Ok, you asked for it ;DThis is the headunit sort of. Apparently to be mounted in a 19 inch rack. Would cost about 90€ to have it lasercut.Sort of the patchbay with support for 8 banksticks and 4 audio ins and outs.I'll post more later on, gotta go to work now :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilo Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 WOUA! Beautifull!!!!! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted August 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Ok, you encouraged me way too much. ;) So here are a few more.Just the colored version of the 19" rack unit with some minor changes.This is sort of a desktop unit. It's the size of those standard tool-boxes (the suitcase type). I figure they'll make a pretty good case since they're cheap made of steel, aluminium,... and it's basically impossible to destroy 'em.Same as above, but with some graphical stuff on it. Looks cool, but all the colors substract too much, imho. Well, let me have some feedback, please. Critic is welcome, too :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nat Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 What program did you use to design the panels ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nILS Posted August 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Nat: What program did you use to design the panels? For creating basic ideas I use "Front Panel Designer 3.1". The more graphical stuff was done in "Micrografx Picture Publisher 10" and "Micrografx Designer 9".Pretty cool tools, all of them. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nat Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 ok I guess they are corel products now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted August 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Ok, one last one for today  ;) This one illustrates, what I was talking about when I said "fold-me-up". What I think is cool about it: You have a huge amount of surface, while the unit is still not aking up that much space when packed together. I live in a 52m2 flat with my girl-friend, so space is important  ;)Ok, I'll shut up for today  :-X/edit: It's late. Put in the wrong link for the picture. *yawn* Gotta go sleep. Man I hate those MidiBoxes... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK. Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 A perfect style to add some additional MB64SEQ :)Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted August 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Thanks ;DWell, I'm afraid, when I'm done with my SidBox, I'll have to build a MIDIbox64SEQ ;) Let's see how far my money will bring me. Not too far I guess though :-[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest den_Juin Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 very very nice nILS!Tho lasercutting that would be pretty expensive i reckon. Too bad my MIDIbox budget is too low for lasercutting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted August 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Tho lasercutting that would be pretty expensive i reckonTrue. The big one would cost about 100 EUR and the two small ones about 40 EUR each. If I don't eat for a month, I can have them lasercut =)But since there are basically only holes, I can do that myself, too. Lucky me, no sliders  ;)/edit: spelling ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
