Evolution UC-33

Hi All,

This is priced at under £200 or under 300 Euros. Please check www.evolution.com for full specs. Has anyone an idea as to how much a MB offering the same specs would cost?

Cheers

The overlay idea for these MB’s could be well worth pursuing.

MBHP ROCKS!

I would spend extra just to make it my own design.

Although it is nice to save money, one thing that sets uCapps MBHP over the rest is it’s possibilities for future upgrades.

The layovers are nice,  could be useful for remembering bank layouts. Make one for Reason, one for Tracktor, etc…

How about LCD’s for every knob and slider !!! HA

;D

The overlay idea is great!

Funny, I have the same idea http://www.midibox.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=parts_q;action=display;num=1052951961 before seeing this device from Evolution  :D

Real inspiring!

As the UC-33 comes ready built, with overlays. etc. My question has to be what is the advantage in building something similar?

Don’t get me wrong, I love the whole concept of MB but we have to be real about it…there is now a plethora of surfaces coming onto the scene at lowish prices. Why can’t we design a Housten and a Mackie clone which is far lower in cost offering an exact copy of what is offered from them? Why, cuz we can’t buy P&G faders at the right money…so here’s an idea…Let’s make a clone of the UC-33 which costs under a $100.00 all in…including the case and pro front panel…offer it as a kit…and away we go!

Scared!

So am I…but if we operate as a co-op we can make it…I’ll chip in…$500 to start
