Guest analouge Posted May 3, 2004 Report Posted May 3, 2004 Hi!I am just starting to build my SID box, step B... Would be really nice with step C, but - money doesn't come easy :(!!I am the design type-of-guy. I just need to have a perfect design on the stuff I make... So I usually ends up with 20 sketches of the frontpanel before I am pleased... I do them by hand - isnt into the CAD stuff...Anyway - I'm building the SID box (4 sids) in a 1U 19" rack box, and I figured, the common buttons I see on the midiboxes (I'm refering to the "radio" buttons) isn't what I wanted, so I searched the web to find some I like, without any luck. I know - says more about me than the wide range of buttons to choose from in all the nice webshops :) hehe.So I got this brilliant idea. I have a Roland E-500 keyboard I bought when it was released. And it has got some NICE buttons on it. But I didn't want to canabalize that fine keyboard I spent 2000 dollars on back then, so I called Roland's department here in Norway.They told me I could get any buttons I wanted from their instruments... I just had to call the service-shop in Oslo and talk to a guy. I did, and it wasn't expensive either!Just a tip... If you like the buttons on the cool synth besides you and you want similar on your midibox, just call the manufacturer and they will probably help you out! :)Cheers!

Guest analouge Posted May 3, 2004 Report Posted May 3, 2004 OK, the TR-909 buttons they might not get you that easy! Sorry for writing a little bit unclear about this.The guy meant - the buttons for the newer intstruments. he'll be able to get me for a small price... After all - it's a service-shop... not a museum.... :) You could probably get older stuff too... maybe or maybe not... but it would cost...sorry for being unclear about this... ;)Ingebret
