More parts arriving. The knobs, buttons and faders were from futurlec.com. The big one feels exactly like the nuo caps just a tiny bit slicker since its a gloss finish.

I will be using the big one for eqs the small white ones for the fx and the small red ones for looping. Buttons are for turning fx on, navigation etc.

The line faders are 10k alpha faders and feel like the vci's but i opened them up and lubed them and they feel alot lighter(think pmc line fader feel).

I also bought joysticks from digikey.com i was going to go the ps2 thumbstick route but that would require a bigger hole in the panel and more room. I made my own handles for these and they feel great and dont take up as much room.

Parts Trickling In

Just received my arcade buttons from djtechtools.com. These are the same buttons i used to mod my vci so i decided to stick with what works. They are sanwa obsf-24 buttons. DJTT has the best price on them and the shipping is very fast.

Midibox 78


This is the layout im going with for my midibox. I will be calling it the midibox-78 for now. I ordered it from front panel express and it came out to $112 shipped which is fantastic.

The big holes on the bottom are for arcade buttons(play, hot cue) i wanted something like the midifighter but with more features all in one. Top Row are for fx control. Eqs and looping are in the middle. The 5 buttons in the middle are navigation and load control.
