I forgot to answer this:
Wilba, have you thought about putting up a few audio/video clips for us to hear/see it in action. ;D
Yeah, now that I have an excuse to YouTube something interesting, I might just do that… I just have to work out how to gaffer tape my camcorder to my head.

Might have to reach out to an action sports film crew, haha. Or you could try suspending it from the ceiling. 
As nice as the controller is, think about putting video up on a site that doesn’t kill the video quality, like this: http://stage6.divx.com/user/Denkitribe/video/1072802/KORG-KAOSS-PAD-KP3-(7

I’ll take that as a nomination! (I nominate the monodeck II in this category, that thing is awesome!)

And.. JESUS that thing is gorgous. Now if only we could get someone to make clone SID chips!
How many more C64’s have ta die?!
hahaha! So that’s why I’ve had heaps of PMs lately!
I really like how it looks black & white. Always wanted to make some monochromatic box, but display is critical part.
:: AMAZING! ::
Looks so good.. And definetaly sounds too.
I wish, I could achieve same quality. Very good job!
Now I must find Main Knob for my :: OLD CHERRY :: It´s original silver knob has missing

Hey Wilba, very nicely done indeed.
How did you attach the CS PCB to the CS? I can see the screws on the PCB side but I don’t see any screws poking through the CS :P.
So what did you screw them into?

If you read his blog, you can see how he glued the screws to the back side of the frontpanel.
They are actually 10mm threaded spacers, glued to the back of the frontpanel with JB-Weld, PCB is held to those with screws. There are also flathead (countersunk) screws glued to the back of the frontpanel at the corners, which hold the panel to the PT-10 case.
OK, found the blog (and read it too). This JB-weld looks like interesting stuff.
Personally I was toying with the idea of having something threaded welded to the back of the front panel but I have some serious doubts whether that’d actually work (you’d have to use the same metals, it mustn’t show on the front side, I don’t know jack about welding, …). This seems like a much easier solution.
wilba,
do you mind if i ask where you got the knobs? do they fit on a standard d-shaft alps encoder and have no indicator mark? very nice midibox. congrats!

A lot of people will want these knobs to make a “clone” of my MB-6582, so I’ll be making a bulk order soon, currently I’m getting a quote to make a new batch of them!
I have some of those lying around, but it never hurts to have some extra ;D
So, sign me up for the group-buy.
ALBS is located in germany - it could make sense that somebody in Europe is doing the group order for ALBS knobs to save shipping costs and tax fees.
…how about a new “group order” board?
Best Regards, Thorsten.
I’d be seriously impressed if Albs re-manufactured those knobs for us!
If the do, are they going to be clear or coloured ‘windows’?
