dstamand Posted June 23, 2007 Report 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/
matrigs Posted June 25, 2007 Report 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 Posted June 25, 2007 not to mention it looks just like those ugly4$$ korg electribe-s, bleh
matrigs Posted June 25, 2007 Report 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.
cimo Posted June 25, 2007 Report 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
NorthernLightX Posted June 25, 2007 Report 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)
Ashiman Posted June 25, 2007 Report 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

Maybe you should try Korg for spareparts? Do I say something? :PBig synth manufacurers do not provide their spareparts lightly. 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 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 : )))
NorthernLightX Posted June 25, 2007 Report 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.
Ashiman Posted June 26, 2007 Report Posted June 26, 2007 of course vintage stock is long gone, but stuff for the electribe has to be there for some time.
ultra Posted June 27, 2007 Report Posted June 27, 2007 i believe i have seen those knobs (or similar) on a midibox. does anybody know where to get them?
