slide-in labels

[Steven_C]

Does anyone know of a source of a labelling system like the ones they use on (expensive) patchbays? I mean the ones where there is a strip of thin metal with a folded edge on top and bottom, and you slide in the pre-printed labels you have made? I would like to put labels like this on my MB64's, so that I can easily change the pot labelling for different applications.

many thanks, from Steve.

Something like that sounds easy to make in a decently-equipped metal shop.  A standard box-and-pan brake seems appropriate.

Thanks for the suggestion, Davo! (Actually, I used to work in a metal shop!)

Hey there Steve.

How you doing ?  I am building another controller with my son for ableton. I am thinking about having some small white gloss squares either sticker or screen printed by the knobs etc so that a name can be added for a sample etc. Then it can be cleaned off later.

I think some commercial mixers have this feature.

Just a thought

Hey there, Ian, good to hear from you!

That's a good idea! Actually my supervisor at work suggested something similar... I'm still thinking about it.

So what features will your son's MB have? Using up those encoders you still have?  ;)
