Hi everybody here,is it possible to find and where the file (for a
schaeffer) built for this front panel : 
      http://www.sequentix.com/gallery/p3-069.jpg                    
 and the case for this front panel...do i need to buy the previous
memory if i am waiting for a new extension memory?thanks very much

I've uploaded the file for that panel to the Yahoo Group files section, in
the DIY folder.
Pay careful attention to the README file I posted with it.
Changes may be needed to the FPD file depending on which board revision you
have.

The case to go behind a Schaeffer panel is left as an exercise for the
builder.
How you should go about it depends on whether you feel more confident with
metalwork, joinery, or macrame.

I'm aware people are still waiting on a re-issue of the memory boards.
I'll try really hard to firm up plans for this in the next week.

-hi Colin,after loading the shaeffer software..it seems that my 061
version 1.4 pcb pad key is good...i have a little doubt(1or2
millimetre)...when you change these key holes,do you move a lot?or
just a few millimetres? best regards

The holes were moved maybe 2mm each away from the edge of the cutout for the
keys, because the press-fit mounting posts used in the production cases
needed more metal around them.
There is only a difference in the distance from the top to the bottom holes,
the horizontal dimensions are the same.
If you print out the Schaeffer panel in 1:1 scale, wireframe mode, with
reference points on, you will be able to sit the PCB on top of the printout,
and see whether they line up with the panel holes.

hi everybody,i am building the sequentix p3 number 61(perhaps the
last)...after different researchs my last steps are: 
1-Buttons and tactile switches 
2-case desktop  style if possible 
3-countersunk screw and spacers
...i am look for the famous cherry switches!!!....for the moment ..i
have found :Buttons for tactile switches of rapid..but it's not
possible to add a legend on it (yes with a pencil...; ) 
nothing at maplin (?)..i try to  built a nice p3...if you have some
ideas and links..let me know. i began to change the schaeffer file
cause my lcd (blue and white)and i am able to make another changes . 
best regards phil

hi colin...my search gave me an important information...on the 1.6
version bill...(at this time i 've taken my information on the 1.4
version bill cause my pcb 061) i found 4.7 k linear pot ;can i use it
in my version?could i make the update 3.8 with?can i take 4.7 for step
and 10K for data and tempo?do you sell cherry custom p3 switches? do
you have a i/O pcb for multi midi out?have you an used front panel and
case...perhaps you want to sell..;-)(before i order to
schaeffer).thanks for your great work and your patience..i am not very
very experimented..and i must take care  for each detail...best
regards..boop's

hi colin...i forget!! for the led spacer which reference? i found for
5mm led four lengths 3; 7.6; 12.7; 19...after 3 years..the code have
changed...thanks  .can i cut them..i don't know this component
yet..cheers..

You can use either value or pot.
4k7 pots will draw a little more supply current, and in theory be less
susceptible to noise, but in practice I don't think it made any difference.

If you mean a firmware update, all P3s are firmware compatible.

I don't have any of the custom keyswitches left, sorry.

> do you have a i/O pcb for multi midi out?

I don't, but the later board is not pin-compatible with the connector on the
earlier boards anyway.

I have a prototype panel, but it has pot holes sized for Spectrol pots.
If I can work out a way to make it suit Alpha pots without being all wiggly,
I'll offer it up for sale during the imminent clear out of stuff I need to
do.

I wouldn't worry about the LED spacers.
They make it easier to match the heights of the LEDs, but you can just do it
by hand - only solder one leg of each LED, then you can adjust the heights
once they are fitted to a panel.
