Analogue-sequencer

Thank you.

I have a photo of the jig used for the step board here
(http://nuxx.net/gallery/v/stuffivemade/sequentix_p3_for_ivan/IMG_1144.jpg.html),
but I just realized that I don't actually have one of the keypad. It's
been a little while since I did it, but if I remember correctly I did
Ivan's keypad using a similar jig, just placing one row, then the
next, then the next.

I think one of the keys (top center) needed a slight bit of adjustment
afterwards, but as the key bodies themselves have a plastic nub
protruding from the bottom and only two leads, it's really easy to
adjust the rotation properly.

For Mark's P3 because there were different keycaps I was actually able
to space them nicely using pieces of cable tie
(http://nuxx.net/gallery/v/stuffivemade/sequentix_p3_for_mark_pulver/IMG_0999.jpg.html),
then the keys were all held in place with a slab of aluminum and taped
down so it could be manipulated for soldering without moving the key
mechs
(http://nuxx.net/gallery/v/stuffivemade/sequentix_p3_for_mark_pulver/IMG_1000.jpg.html).

Basically, I just find a way to put together a jig which holds the
parts as solidly as possible, use that, then adjust any keys which may
be off. Typically none are.

Yeah, it should be pointed out that outside of being a great photographer, 
Steve is a fantastic builder. He built up both mine and Ivan's P3's.

HIGHLY recommended:

Yeah, the build quality looks exceptional. Still trying to figure out how he
managed to precisely align the keypad.
