julienvoirin Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Hi *here is my MB6582 midibox : Quote
nILS Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Awesome :-\ Especially the pics and the description!edit: When I posted there were no pics. Now there are pics. Hooray! Quote
julienvoirin Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Posted November 20, 2007 wha wha wha hard to attach files !more pics at : http://4colors/midibox/demos/mb6582/building/the front side : Quote
Wilba Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Congratulations JV, it looks great! Quote
Goblinz Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Very nice! People commented that they expected the ALBS knobs to be bigger but they look perfect to me. The mis-aligning of the labels on the fron-panal doesn't look to be too much of an issue once the thing is put together. I think we're oing to have an aweful lot of Wilbabeasts appearing on here in the next few months. Quote
julienvoirin Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Posted November 20, 2007 ALBS knobs to be biggerthey are too big, it is hard to easily go pushing buttonsmis-aligning of the labels absolutly no problem. more problem with the leds holes which are often too small.some hints : jb weld in the corners was shitty, not enough resistive ; so i drilled the panel. but it works perfect on the spacers, maybe cause of the screwliner inside the spacer (help the jb weld strength).test all your leds with a battery (CR2032) before soldering. Some were ultra bright, others were only bright, obvious the vendor (selectronic) told me they were all the same ! sorting before soldering is a good idea (ouf ! i did it), in order to get the same led type in the matrix for example. I used 2k resistors to reduce brightness.There is a gap of 3mm between the panel and the display : i will go at Leroy Merlin (bricolage stuff) tonight and get a piece of plexiglas to complete.Be careful with the display on the PCB : add rubber on his front side to avoid short circuits.(that would send lots of random messages otherwise)TBCcheers Quote
Goblinz Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 I wonder how they'd look if the bottoms were sanded down a bit? Obviously they couldn't be made much smaller because of the fairly large holes in the panal. I may get some spare knobs in the next order and investigate this... Wouldn't want to wreck the translucent red ones though :-\ G Quote
suital Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Nice work JV. It looks very close to mine, the only difference are the knobs. I used the clear ones. I think we should start a thread where everyboy that has built a MB6582 can post his picture. So we can easily compare the boxes with each other.DSC00176.JPG Quote

Kartoshka Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 videos from phone is awesome! seems like you're having a lot of fun there, Julien!.. ;)(although i can't undersand a word in french) Quote
SLP Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 LOL.... "MB6582 of the week"Jep.... that is a quite sad thing IMO.Wilba did a good job - no doubt, but now, all those MB-6582s look quite the same.Everyone buys a PCB, a Pactec PT-10 case and the frontpanel - and it's all the same.Just have a look in the MB-Gallery. There were so many different, interesting, sexy and sometimes just damnright crazy cases.Of course - it's not that *everyone* is building a MB-6582, but there are many. And now Wilba's MB is has nothing unique anymore.just my 2 centsmatthias Quote
bugfight Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 ...And now Wilba's MB is has nothing unique anymore...i see what you mean, but this is only true of the cs which everyone is not using.also wilbas own front panel is more unique... Quote
SLP Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 i see what you mean, but this is only true of the cs which everyone is not using.also wilbas own front panel is more unique...The only difference is that one some cs's the silk-screening is different (using symbols for waveforms, etc), and the color of the LEDs, the 4*20 Display and the ALBS-Waldorf knobs is different :-\ Quote
Kartoshka Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 more i listen to samples you made more i want to build this midibox..sid sound is SO ILLUSTRATIVE and powerful altogether.. it has soul Quote
