MIDIbox of the week (Mini MIDIbox SID of Arto)

This time from Arto/Finland.

He will provide some sound patches in the future. :slight_smile:

nice minimal design!

LO

Very compact and fresh… Like the art next to the LCD screen.

Good work buddy!  ;D

Finally managed to add the minimal control interface for this one.. Ended up sanding/repainting the case on the same go since there was some pretty ugly file marks next to the screen cutout (was too lazy to sand them away when initially making the box). Pics:
