MidiboxSID + encoder knobs w/ switches? long tact switches? I/O jacks?

Parts Questions
1

I’ve been searching around on the forums and in the SID pages on the main site,

and I can’t seem to find the answer to these questions:

  ??? what type of encoders are used here?  http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_sid/midibox_sid_cs2.jpg

          I count 15 knobs total, can someone give me a rundown on what each knob is in this particular SID box?

          I want to know about detented/non-detented  and does the encoder have a switch?

        I’m trying to figure out which encoders to order from smash’s shop. 

        It would be nice if Part C’s BOM would mention if “switched” enoders are nessesary or optional, and if they’re used in the “original” (see picture) design.

  ??? Am I correct that there are only encoders in this picture?  (Step C makes it sound like no pots are used).

  ??? Does someone have a complete BOM for the pictured design?  Including all I/O jacks, etc…

          http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_sid/midibox_sid_cs2.jpg

          I noticed that the IO jacks (i.e. audio/midi) were not listed in the MidiboxSID PartA/B/C sections.  What else has been omitted? 

  ??? Does someone have a link/part#/make&model to the long tact switches used here?  I’m in the US…

  ??? Got a link to those enoder knobs?  Or something similarly sized?

Look at the front panel (http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_sid_cs/mbsid_panel.fpd) You`ll need Frontpanel Designer for this. Get it here: http://www.schaeffer-apparatebau.de/

    I want to know about detented/non-detented  and does the encoder have a switch?

It’s up to you what you want to use. I’d prefer non-detented for all the synth functions and a detented one for menu navigation.

At Thorstens design there are no switched encoders. But once again: It`s up to you to do your individual desing.

Am I correct that there are only encoders in this picture?

Right, no pots, just encoders.

Does someone have a complete BOM for the pictured design?

They are on the module sites. For example the MIDI jacks are on the BOM for the core module.

Does someone have a link/part#/make&model to the long tact switches used here?

Thorsten ot them from Reichelt (www.reichelt.de). They are called “TASTER 3301D”

Manufacturer is APEM    Part Number PHAP3301D (There are several heights available).

Got a link to those enoder knobs?  Or something similarly sized?

These are original knobs from Waldorf. But Waldorf not loger exists (http://waldorf.synth.net/) There was a bulk order some years ago… search the forum.

Waldorf got them from www.albs.de, the knobs are still available :slight_smile:

Best Regards, Thorsten.

thanks for the good replys.

lol.  I meant what type of encoder is under each knob.  (which I think you answered in your next one).

I had already found closeups of TK’s synth, as well as the large .gif of the panel… :slight_smile:

doing a search on the forums, looks like someone else asked a question about waldorf knobs and apparently we need to ask ALBs directly…  thanks for the search term…
