SID Control Surface B & 1/2 viability for panel

[dcer10]

Hi Everyone,

After making a bit of a prototype in a cheapo plastic box I am wanting to make a nice case and panel for my current 1xsid. I made up the following front panel design based on my usage of the single SID synth to date.

The main changes which I wanted were the ability to change the pulse witdth without an external controller, the ability to have edit and cc buttons with LED's so you can see when your in that mode, realtime envelope control over both aux envelopes and all of the osc envelopes {is the config on the panel possible for this??}.

These are all in suplement to the filter controls already on my current box {seen in attached photo}. Also I have done away with the 6 buttons below the screen on the current box as they were for osc and filter controls which I find I use the menu for mostly anyway.

I wanted to not have to drill out the rear panel except for power {as im not sure on how I will power it via wall adapter, C64 PSU like I am now - NOISY!!, or internal transformer with IEC connector on the back.

Im thinking that the core, sid board, a dout1x a din 4x and a small 2 bankstick memory board would all fit snug inside under the panel and I would make the panel on an about 30% slope cut into some stained wood sides and bottom, and maybe cut a bit of sheet metal for the rear.

Can anyone comment on the usability / viability of this panel layout? Missing something, something not possible? Enhancements?? Do the measurements look ok in regards to space between the holes etc?

Any feedback would help.

Also if anyone can make panels up cheap please say hi ;}

Thanks,

John
