LoopA Pro Metal Case

Revealing the brand new design plans for the new midiphy LoopA pro metal case, hope you enjoy!

The final production version from Hallik Engineering might look slightly different, as this is just a photo simulation. Note, that you can easily install the available "caseless LoopA kit" into this case, when it is available, so you could already build and operate your LoopA now, and put it in the metal case in early 2020!



Have happy holidays & enjoy creating!

Peter

Re: LoopA Ports

like the whole things, the foots! a blm port! even a Reset-Switch (bootloader?) and pedals (for record? while playing piano?)

great work!

Re: LoopA Ports

Thanks!

Yes, pedals (not yet supported in the current software) should be quite easily mappable to different functions like "arm" or "run/stop".

The tilted orientation of the unit is of course optional, you can just remove the spacer and it sits flat on the table! But the rubber feet (Reichelt GF 2) will really hold it in place on various synths or if the stage is shaking :)



Many greets! Peter

Re: LoopA Ports

No space to put the screw inside? Or this is a choice?

I Like this.


Because screws are outside, are the small vertical plastic pieces enough? are you not afraid about gap in the middle of front and bottom acrylic panels(plastic bend)?

Thanks, guys!

Re: LoopA Ports

Hi Bruno,

Thanks!



It was a design choice - we have multiple m2 inner "sandwich" screws which could have been used, but then there would have been holes in the precious frontpanel :). In general, it is stable enough, only minimal "bulge" at the middle. The inner PCB sandwich is fixed to the bottom acrylic plate with 7 m2 screws, so it stays in place firmly, no wobble when pushing in "tight" midi cables for example - the vertical walls next to the screws are necessary to avoid "overtightening" and bulge of the middle part, correct - but in general, as the unit is very small (only about 20cm horizontally from screw hole to screwhole) methinks it is sufficiently stable, as long as the inner sandwich is constructed to specs (max 32mm inner height).



Many greets,

Peter

You now only need a Moroder-Mustache, have it play back some italian synthpop loops on one of your analogs and it should perfectly fit the cliché! :-D

/profile/7895-hawkeye/">@Hawkeye Haha, that - and a moaning Donna Summer!

I'm soo looking forward to the release of this, it will be a great tabletop composition assistant /emoticons/grin.gif" title=":grin:"> Plus, the bling factor is huge so that's a plus.
