ultra Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 hello!i am new to this forum and i'm looking to build a midibox v2 seq that looks a lot like the one made by albert from england (from the midibox seq pictures on ucapps.de) and i have the following questions:1 where can i find a case like that? the shiny black is gorgeous and the desktop style is what i'm looking for.2 i'm looking for nice tactile switches with a chrome button. does anybody know where to get these? i'll probably have the leds seperate from the switches simply because it is easier to do and i am new to this kind of thing.3 my korg electribe sx has these awesome chrome knobs on it and i would like something similiar for this project. any ideas where to get nice chrome knobs and a data wheel?4 so far i've ordered the core kit w/pre-programmed pic, the din kit, and the dout kit (quantity of one each) from smashtv. am i missing anything as far as the kits go? the banksticks i'm getting elsewhere, i'm gonna order the encoders from smashtv (unless someone can recommend a drop-in replacement for less than $1 each), and the lcds i ordered from the suggestion in this thread (http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=7302.0). besides the other things asked about in this post, what am i missing?5 thanks to thorsten for offering his designs and help for FREE and to everybody else on this forum. i've read quite a few posts and i'm very surprised at how helpful everybody is.

TK. Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hi,I cannot help you that much on the first three questions... maybe the "Parts Questions" section would be a better location for this.To 4) you need 3 DINX4 modules, and if you want to use MBSEQ V3 (you definitely want!), you will need a PIC18F4620 and a MBHP_IIC_MIDI module in addition. To 5) thanks! :)Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultra Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 thanks for the input. i'm realizing that things like knobs and switches and even a panel are pretty unimportant right now. gotta make sure the thing works first. i'm too excited!i absolutely want a v3 but i figure i'll let time elapse and the more advanced builders/users can fill the forum with solid information. as someone new to electronics, i need others to pave the way. besides that, a v2 would be a great gift for a friend of mine someday. i'd probably poo myself if someone did that for me :).
