My MB Seq V4 I finished last summer. Front panel is from www.thebeast.co.uk and looks pretty nice. still haven’t finished the back panel. On the inside is a core32, a mb seq pcb, sd-card and a self etched "2x IIC Midi + MB-Eth". Sorry, got no inside shots at the moment.

My updated keyboard-controller. It’s completely Midibox-based, runnning MB_NG firmware. Hardware is a ripped-apart Miditech keyboard, a PSU from an old EMU sampler and the usual MB stuff: LPC17, 2x DIO_Matrix, AINSER64.

A Tascam remote control converted to a Midi controller. I kept the original control surface pcbs with all the small buttons and leds, but etched a new main board for the big buttons, 7-seg display and put a PSU + DINX4 + DOUTX4 on it. It was formerly based on a Core8, but I updated this to LPC17 and MB_NG.

So all in all it has

9x big buttons with leds

66x small buttons

137x small leds (driven by three MAX7221)

LRE 8x2 extension (16x encoder + led-rings)

hi-res jog wheel

3 digit display

2x20 LCD

Thanks to TK it’s all working with MB_NG, I can even use this as a logic control.

nice job !

Re: IMG 0050

This is a beauty, especially with the choice of colors!

Re: IMG 2761

So what is this exactly? A MIDI Controller in an analog-synth-shaped case?

Re: IMG 0050

We need some photos of inside !!

Re: IMG 1098

Well done! :slight_smile:

Re: IMG 1098

Awesome work !!!

Can you explain how you made the front panel for the 8x2 RLE please ? I really love the translucide effect on it.

Re: IMG 1098

It’s a 3mm clear acryl faceplate made by formulor (german ponoko) with 16 holes for the encoders and engraved numbers. Was around 20,- euros.

I put black self-adhesive foil at the backside on it, with cut-outs for the encoders and the led rings.

If you want I can send you the illustrator-files for both.

Re: IMG 1098

Yes please those files are welcome.

I have finally found a front panel really cool and affordable :slight_smile: Thank you !

Re: IMG 1098
