Help with my front panel?

Ah yeah, sorry to be more specific, I meant the corner screws of the various CS modules. So like the corner screws around the LED matrix, etc. I was going to keep the panel to chassis mount screws yeah.

I would say you could blind hole everything but the chassis screws.

So I really liked the plus pattern around the knob, although it does indeed get in the way. Not so much for the up/down but more for the left/right. Given the space constraints I think I'll have to stick with the original design (which puts the arrows on their own row). Unlike the MB-6582, I opted to go with an up/down/left/right arrangement. Being a lefty, I think I would actually prefer them to be to the right of the knob, but I am probably going to leave them as is (to the left) since the synth will sit on my left and I will be using only one hand to control things most of the time.

As far as the panel goes, I think the only thing left to do is decide on is where to put the blind holes (if I want them on the corners or not - seems like almost a no-brainer to use them for the middle screw-mounts).

I think I'm going to start routing wires on the actual boards first though to make sure everything fits. Since some of the screws will be hidden, I can put them in odd locations without much worry. The blind hole idea is fantastic, so thanks again, Altitude!

I think at this point it's on to the next step (routing the wires on the boards).
