laser cutted case


Yeah!

assembled case


All parts fits fine

top panel engraving


Single line engraving a little bit dirty but much accurate than double line.

assembled case

mbseq case test assembly


Found cutting error - no hole for 4-th encoder =)

LCD windows


here fits fine too

standoff with plasticine mold


standoff is glued with cyanoacrylate

plasticine mold filled with epoxy

fastened stand-offs


20 hours later

mbseq guts

mbseq assembled


The final step is to make matrix wiring like in Wilba`s MBSEQ for control surface and leds. Now the bottom line of buttons not used.<br />Vacant DOUT and DIN modules will be used in MBFM, which is next.

PSU taken from broken DVD player (bipolar 12v + 5v)

Tired of drilling =)

Some of presets turned to this glitch Rhodes :whistle:

MBSEQ MIDIOUT Fix


like at 3.3 v midi devices.

sdcard slot


SD slot desoldered from broken camera, piece of protoboard and aluminum profile.

SwinSID pcb’s

MB_StereoMicroSwinSID prototype

strange tone

CS back

SwinSID test stand


Made quick minimal surface, sammich-style: 13 buttons + encoder with button and 4 leds for L/R, PLAY and LFO. There’s 4 free leds, has no idea what i need more.

MBSID slave core


Nothing superfluous. 4pin Power+midi I/O from Core J11. One pin for CAN and 2x4 pin to Stereo SID module (J14 combined with unused pin)<br />Did i missed something? :whistle:

Stereo CEM3379 VCF/VCA for MBSID


It’s actually 2xCEM3379 Shruthi filterboards without power regulators.

MB Stereo SID


Finally it works!

2xMOS6581 → 2xCEM3379 VCF/VCA (CV range 0-5V for Cutoff/Resonance/Gain)

modified AOUT_NG to output 0-5V from 12V bipolar supply.

perfoboarded CS and modulation matrix with cheap 8x8 led matrix from ebay.

MBSeq TPD module

MB Stereo SID


Project begins to take shape.

2 x 6581 SID, AOUT_NG, CEM 3379 Stereo VCF/VCA, Bipolar 12/5v power supply from DVD player, enclosure of the soviet calculator Elektronika MK44.

Stereo SID


Still not shure about this CS.

Re: MG 6934

Hi Schrabikus,

Looks very nice (even on Veroboard)

What type of buttons and KeyCaps are you using?

Re: MG 6934

Hello, nlate

Buttons is futurlec.com $0.32 TACT006 Raised Tactile Switch, keycaps is $0.25 TACTWHT White Tactile Switch Button.

They saying about two versions of operating force: 160gf and 260gf

but shipping only 250gf, which is a little bit hard.

In future im planning to make buttons with CNC lasercut technology (like in Zvezda DJ controller)

Re: Seq V4 vero Top

thats DIY! :thumbsup:

Re: Seq V4 vero Top

Lookin good! Did you test it?

Re: Seq V4 vero Top

Yes, works perfectly. Veroboard is little bit thin, so i need additional fastening of sockets. But it is much faster and easier than home-etching of double-sided pcb. Ive understand that after making digital board for Shruthi =)

Now i am waiting for laser cutted case.

Re: Acryllic case CNC

Hey, that’s really cool. Could You plan to provide the CAD files of this to the public?

Re: Acryllic case CNC

Definitely, but first i need to test it.

Re: Acryllic case CNC

Oh I need this material for my mb6582 front panel :slight_smile: Looks nice!

Re: MG 6880

very genial idea

led taster :slight_smile: nice

Re: Acryllic case CNC

ИнтереÑный вариант Ñборки :thumbsup: Ð ÐºÐ°ÐºÐ°Ñ Ñ‚Ð¾Ð»ÑˆÐ¸Ð½Ð° акрила?

Re: MG 6880

LED like button - good idea. Thank you.

Re: Acryllic case CNC

This is for 3 mm acryllic

Here is pdf for cnc laser cut. Red outlines is for engraving.

http://nekaka.com/files/get/1v7nYMjmqR/mbseq-case-fix-october.pdf

Edit it with Corel or Illustrator for your dimensions.

Re: Acryllic case CNC

The idea has been taken from Shruthi`s case.

This for nuts and bolts joint, but you can glue it. Or i can make template for glue joint.

Re: Acryllic case CNC

This one is for glue joint

Re: top panel engraving

ВыглÑдит неплохо

только мне кажетÑÑ Ð´Ð»Ñ 3 мм он Ñлишком непрочный будет, надо было 5 мм делать и шлÑпки болтиков можно было утопить тогда.

Re: top panel engraving

Болты будут немного другие, а акрил под рукой только 3мм был =) По прочноÑти на первый взглÑд ок.

Re: mbseq case test assembly

Apart from that issue - its very cute! Well done!

Re: mbseq case test assembly

Thanks.

Now i`m thinking about white or blue leds for track/layer selection - green are out of turn :logik:
