dstamand Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 This new midi/surface controller has really nice buttons and knobs. I just got it tonight. Waiting 3 months for it. :'(http://www.flickr.com/photos/x-mob/594354576/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrigs Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 don't want to be cruel but it seems a bit nonsense to me to post pics of a serial made midi controler on a messageboard that is meant to make something like this by yourself.

Ashiman Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 not to mention it looks just like those ugly4$$ korg electribe-s, bleh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrigs Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 actually i was alwasy jealous that those big companies have access to parts not available commonly like nice illuminated buttons or faders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cimo Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 .. the best way to win a war is ... to know your enemy .... now of course we are not .. well i am not (just speak for myself) in war against M-audio or other major mass destruction MIDI controller producers (yes there was some political irony in it) still it s nice to see what what is the latest thingy coming out of the market, maybe a source for inspiration and new ideas, they also got some good stuff.And well it s always a pleasure to see some backlit buttons.... just my thoughtsimone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLightX Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I like those buttons, and would use them if it would be possible to a. aquire them and b. have a frontpanel made for them - schaeffer does not make weird shaped holes so you have to have the panel drawn by someone who's good with CAD, not me.To think of it, I still have some Waldorf buttoncaps lying around, maybe I'm going to use those after all 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashiman Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Im not in a war, just what I think is, that these "nice illuminated buttons" cost just as much as their "nice" factor (imho: next to 0 ) . Maybe you should try Korg for spareparts? Do I say something wrong? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past someone here on the forum managed to get some Waldorf spareparts. The knobs TK uses on his SID for example. I have never heard of any other succesful attempts.

Ashiman Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 given the large scale amount of electribes and their hands on nature, I bet they store large stock of these colourful pimples : ))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLightX Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 But accessing those stocks could prove to be quite difficult. Can't tell without trying though, but I'm not going to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashiman Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 of course vintage stock is long gone, but stuff for the electribe has to be there for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultra Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 i believe i have seen those knobs (or similar) on a midibox. does anybody know where to get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
