The slimline MIDIbox SEQ made by Hallucinogen - he built it into an old Compaq PC keyboard:
Looking nice! was it a tight fit?
i love those buttons where did you buy those?
hi !
thanks for your reply !!
it was a bit tricky to get all modules in the case ! i had to build the core on an a vectorboard to get smaller size. all the other stuff fits on one big vectorboard with dinx/doutx/microbuttons/encoders…
i will post some pics of the “inner life” next time i get a digicam !
the buttons are handmade of acryl ! similar to the ones of axel ! -> a very cool idea !!
i´ve got some long round stick in 10mm diameter and cut it in peices of ~12mm lengh. then i did a “phase” to the top side (hope this is right, my englisch… ::))

this fits nice on a microbutton - the ones that are used in tk´s sid..
put a led under the acryl button,
and you got some very good looking and very good feeling illuminated buttons  ;D
and they are cheap !
greetings

ps:
in germany u can get acryl from rs-components !!
Very nice. So how do you manage that the acryl button sticks to the board ?
at time they aren´t fixed ! so dont it turn around !! --ones i did … ![]()
two ways to fix :
first is to drill a hole (~3,1mm) centered at the bottom of the acryl piece - so u can plug it on the microbuttons shaft.
but centering is hard work without the right tools …
i did it on my dual lc - ~140 buttons –> really hard work !!
–>pics soon !!
second is to simply glue them with “second glue” (sounds weard, is it the correct word?)
Thaks for this info and i know what you mean with second glue as i am from the netherlands we call it probabbly the same. I dont think it’s correct LMAO. Maybe it’s instant stickyness ![]()
My dictionary says:
Sekundenkleber = superglue
Fase = bevel or chamfer :P
my idea is … you can drill a little bigger than 3.2mm (about 4). And now, with your buttons lying in the case you can easily take hot glue to get your buttons centered. I think you would have to glue one after another with this technique because the first glue would get hard until your last button mounted.
A straight hole would not be so good I think because the shaft gets smaller with a certain angle.
But for centering you could take a standing drilling machine and fix some wood to the bottom. Drill a hole with your diameter of the botton. Now you can put your buttons into that hole and take a smaller drill to get your holes into it.
