Analogue-sequencer

hi kids! guess who's the happy one today....
i've just completed my second P3, and gave it the first test today. 
after a weird shortcircuit-ish thing with the powersupply all went 
well and the lovely P3 startup lightshow was shown..a memory wipe and 
a FW-update later i was in business. :)
of course it's not perfect: i found out i used the wrong kind of 
connectors for the midi-trio (holes are in the wrong place), so i'll 
have to solder some cables to fit, or replace these. the case is 
probably the smallest possible, as  i had to bend or resolder some 
connectors to get it to close. 
there's some pictures in the files section of this group. as you can 
see, i've used a different font & colourscheme for the step keys & 
keypad, and have all knobs except tempo & data white.
the PLED display is SO cool..i'm loving the combination with the home-
engraved brushed aluminium case. :)

one well-pleased oozi out..

ah yes...that's one of the things i need to remedy; it's not the keys 
that are crooked, it's the caps. i bought them independantly from the 
keys, and of course they didn't fit. so i drilled a bit out of them 
to get them to fit, but the slot in the case is a bit too wide to 
keep them straight..so i'm thinking of making an encasing out of some 
sort of foam which would hold them straight and double as protection 
to keep dust & ashes out. i also want to raise the keys, as they're 
now just about level with the case. the pcb is now on 10mm spacers 
and i want it on 5mm, but i got fed up with waiting for the parts and 
just wanted to give it a try. and it's pretty cool! i've got one P3 
doing notes and another doing different notes & patterns on some 
tracks and controllers on a other tracks at the moment, and i'm only 
just starting to discover the wonderful world of 2 P3's..:) great fun!

Funky. A lot more industrial looking, but somehow I think that suits
your music ;-)

Did you have trouble keeping the keys in line as you soldered them ?
(maybe you like 'em like that...)
I use 3 lengths of IC tube, held together at the ends with elastic
bands, to hold all the keys in a straight line while I solder them -
seems to be the easiest way.

Maybe so, Paul. But not for long...

hi Mag, 
it's probalby more the tempo-knob that's actually lost...butit's in a 
better pace than it is on the first one, as there's less chance of 
giving it an accidental twist in this place.
the height of the case at the front is 25mm, at the back it's 70mm. 
as i mentioned, i had to bend some stuff on the inside to get the 
case to close, but this could have been avoided by moving the main 
board a few centimeters to either side.

hi oozi
 
pretty cool your case. i love the brushed aluminium, it looks some kind between
industrial waste and high quality stuff, = its art.
the data knob looks a bit lost....
 
whats the height of your case?
I'm still waiting for all the electronic parts for my p3,
so i'm using the time for designin' a case, but I dont
now if a heigt range from 40 to 70mm is enough!
