Alkex built a MIDI controller into a Speak&Spell case!

Here is a photo of the latest midibox: Midibox Speak & Spell
A simple controller made for live performances
It has 6 encoders, 10 buttons, mapped to 16 banks.
You inc/dec the banks with the buttons either side of the analog crossfader which I ripped off a broken dj mixer.
It just came back from a live drum n bass party where it worked fine, under the rain!!!
Thanks again for bringing so much fun to us all!
that is immensely cool.. where do those nice buttons come from mate?
Hi TD,
Glad you like my Speak n Spell,
I got the push buttons off ebay Item number: 300209169798
they are actually very standard buttons only with their “heads” pointing out of the panel rather then the whole body, if you get what Im saying… 
Extremely cool!
Those buttons look similar to the ones for the MBSID LIVE concept. Correct me if I am wrong.
They do in fact. The buttons used in the sidLive concept are MEC 3F with 16U caps iirc.
In case someone is looking for these:

They’re those ones They’re a bit bigger than the MECs and a very different feel (I have some of both)
