overlay blanks

overlay blanks

2015-10-05 by widowmakor@...

Hey all... Is there a source for blank overlays? If not, would this group be interested in investing together via a FundMe or something else to place an order?


I know I'd like 7 or 8 of these but would be expensive to order just 7 or 8.



Re: overlay blanks

2015-10-05 by URDerek@...

I'l be interested in going in on a group order, if one was setup.

I would ideally like one that can be easily switched out, so something that was pretty heavy.

Re: [bc2000] Re: overlay blanks

2015-10-05 by Ted Stahl

Agreed!

If it's made out of some rigid slick plastic, we might even be able to use dry-erase markers on it so they could be re-purposed too!

But I definitely like the idea of something somewhat heavy that wouldn't warp and that we wouldn't need to adhere to the surface.

I have an overlay for my OTO Biscuit that is pretty nice. Basically, there is a mode that turns the OTO into a nice 8-bit synth. The overlay is used to show the new parameters. It's a pretty heavy rubber material. Almost feels like it could be a magnet.

Maybe something like this would work? But with an easier way to label it &/or print to it?

Definitively interested!

I think that something in semi-rigid palstic writable by dry-erase markers could be very interesting.

I'd be interested too. Agree that the ability to use dry-erase markers would be the way to go (if possible).

Okay, cool. Let me work on it. I'll see what someone will charge us per and see if they'll sell it on their website or eBay for us.

I have a few sets of overlays for the Rhodes Chroma made by Jamie Downing at synthgraphics.com. They are made from 3M adhesive vinyl and are the best quality I have seen.
If they need to be non-adhesive I believe Jamie would be the man to ask; especially if there were enough orders made to have the overlays produced.
The vinyl is relatively thick, black, but perhaps not something to be used with an erasable marker. But again, Jamie has a die cut process I believe he contracts out so he may be just the guy to contact with any ideas mentioned, including non-adhesive materials.

Hope this helps the group.

Hi,
I'd be interested in a few as well. I actually sent an email to them a long time ago about making a blank BCR overlay but never got a reply. I hope you have better luck!

Cool. Yea. I've already started reaching out.

Guys, any rough estimate on how many this group (not just on this thread but the "BCR2000 community" would want?

Quick math, I'm thinking there must be 1000 hard core users out there each who might want 3-6? I personally would keep a 3 ring binder of about 20, lol, because of all of my gear. ;)

I'd love to have a couple dozen, but it would totally depend on how inexpensive they would be.

2015-10-08 by Joshua Dreller

Okay cool. I'm going to guesstimate like 2500 for now. That's like 500 people at 5 per person. I think that's a very conservative number and will be much more than that but we don't want to have any left over. We can always order more.

I have a new (used) BCR2K waiting to be explored. There's dozens of VST soft synths & effects I want to apply it to.

As for yhe overlay material - something like that which was used with the Evolution: UC-33 would be good. It's thin flexible plastic but also durable. They were pre-printed for particular applications though.
Google it and look at the images.

A material thin enough to pass through the card/photo paper slot of an ink-jet printer would be ideal.
That way we could have a template file (MS Word doc, PDF), to which we could colour and label the knobs & switches,

Re: overlay blanks

Re: overlay blanks

2015-10-08 by URDerek@...

Awesome, thanks for doing this.

I was thinking, it might be hard to get something that was vinyl and reusable to be thin enough to print on.

What might be a good idea is to have the vinyl to be pre cut to size, then have a thinner paper sticker that can be printed that can be stuck on top of the vinyl. So you have the benefit of something that can tough enough to be taken on and off the machine also have custom printed sheets on top.

Re: overlay blanks

2015-10-08 by benni@...

usually, printers can easily print up to ~200g paper (~thrice the grammage of consumer-grade printer-paper). having a such strength as for a decent vinyl or foil should def. do the job and be printable. the surface of this material is however crucial.

at last, the BCR *does* actually exceed DIN A4 (and US-norm) paper-size in total. you'd have to
a) print it in a copy-shop
b) have a big printer
c) or: make it up of two parts (which might somewhat be practial, as u can keep your layouts "modular" and obviously you'd avoid having the vinyl be placed unevenly due to the pedestal on which the upper push-encoders are aligned on – i'm wondering how this should be done, anyhow!) :))

Re: overlay blanks

2015-10-08 by URDerek@...

I like the idea of 2 separate pieces. The Mopho/Tetra at synthgraphics does this and that seems like the way to go as well.

I'm wondering if we would have more flexibility in terms of surface materials if we used a sticker as opposed to printing directly on the vinyl? I haven't used vinyl like this before but I can imagine it's not too easy to print over.

Re: overlay blanks

2015-10-08 by benni@...

here's my dream-scenario! (:

basically we'd need a half-plotted (not fully punched-through) sticker with a thick back-surface (the paper the sticker is on before you take it off). the whole think is plotted in a way, that it can easily be "disassembled", however is one plane sheet before the spare elements are punched / pushed out. this ensures that it can be printed on (just as on a sheet of paper). in the end, one can decide if it's used as a sticker or simply as a thick overlay (leaving the sticker-surface on the paper).

we'd need 2 plots – one for bottom-section and one for the top (push-encoder) section of the BCR. how ever, because the push-encoder section is narrow, we'd be able to place two plots on it (save some paper and money (: ) ... this'd be a possible layout

overview:

A4 paper with bottom section:

A4 paper with (2) top sections:

Re: overlay blanks

2015-10-09 by widowmakor@...

WE HAVE A PRINTER.

He can do them for $4.62 each @ 2500. I can see how much he would charge for fewer.

Or, we could find someone to pay the $11k and then sell them to us individually (or in packs).

What's the thoughts here?

JD

Re: overlay blanks

2015-10-09 by widowmakor@...

OR was just thinking. Maybe if we could get 120 people to commit to a $100 order (you get 21 overlays for that!) then we can just do it that way.

I could set up a "fund me" kinda of thing where everyone goes and orders. BUT the money is only taken from your card when the full commitment is met. So no risk on anyone if we don't get 120 people.

It would be great if there was someone in this group that would place the order, but I don't have $11k to do that. Thinking tho they could sell them for $10 each and they could double their money.

IF THERE'S ANYONE READING THIS THREAD WHO WANTS TO DO THAT, LET ME KNOW ON THIS THREAD. I'll put you in touch with the printer.

Re: overlay blanks

2015-10-09 by synthgraphics@...

Hey Guys,

This is Jamie from SynthGraphics.com. I do sell BCR-2000 overlays for the microKORG, Mopho/Tetra, Chroma, and Alpha Juno line. So I have templates. Dave Hobson contacted me about a solution and will look into what options are available.

My current products are not actually vinyl, they are 10 mil lexan (extremely tough stuff!) with the printing done on the back side of the lexan - but does no allow dry markers to be used on them and they have a 3M sticky back that makes them permanent. My original plan was using a magnetic backing but the BCR is aluminum so that won't work.

I can do custom graphics but would be cost prohibitive - in the $100 range per overlay (my time plus supplies). If someone wanted this option you could send me what part you want labeled as what, colors, and I could do that - but you'll need to program the BCR yourself. I'll also look into blank overlay solutions with no sticky back.

Cheers,
Jamie

Hi!

Apologies for hijacking this thread but; are you still doing the Mopho/Tetra overlays, Jamie?
Your site says ''Sold Out.''

Re: overlay blanks

2015-10-09 by URDerek@...

I would be interested in the 11 for $100 order. I think it would be nice to see a picture of a prototype first before I jump in. Not sure how the market is for selling them 1 at a time, maybe Jamie can speak to that.

Jamie, thanks for the great response and offer. I think a big part of this group order was to get something that could be customized. I have a couple of custom programs and would like to print them out and stick them to the overlay.

That being said, you have the most experience with printing these and know will and wont work. Do you think the idea of having a 'blank' overlay with a sticky side that a custom printed sheet could stick to would work?

Thanks again for the help here!

Thank you. I have your template for my microkorg. But I -- like the rest of this group -- have a zillion needs outside of the handful of products you make. We also don't just want the static configuration. I may want a completely different microkorg setup...

Could you sell blank ones too us? Sell them to this group for $5 a piece and you'll make a ton more than you're making now.

Re: [bc2000] Re: overlay blanks

Okay, I asked the printer for a smaller batch. He can do 500 @ $5 per.

Do you think we could get 25 people to each order 20 @ $100.

Please reply if you're interested so I can see if we have enough people.

I can't speak to quality. I can get more specs for you guys once we get closer to ordering. I do know these will be thinner than credit cards. Each will be on one sheet, not two sections.

I'll also look into blank overlay solutions with no sticky back.

Cheers,
Jamie

Okay that's 2 down (steve and I). I need 23 more folks to make this happen.

WHO'S IN???

FYI - I'll get a few samples before the big run which I can show in a video to everyone here. Right now, just looking for 25 total folks to VERBALLY commit to a $100 order (20 overlays for that...)

Will this be laser cut in 2 parts? (top & bottom)

Any thoughts on how these could be bound together and still maintain the front profile?

What's the material?

Can the printing process support full color?

Keen to see a mock up!

Re: [bc2000] Re: overlay blanks

2015-10-15 by Joshua Dreller

Doesn't look like there's enough interest. Thought I could find 25 people in this 4000 person group...

LAST CALL. If you want to get in on an order of blank overlays, please respond here.

Looking for a VERBAL COMMITMENT that you might be interested in $100 for 20 blank overlays. Once I get 25 people, I'll ping the printer and we'll get a few samples to show the group.

Re: [bc2000] Re: overlay blanks

2015-10-15 by gekk078@...

Maybe a detailed update on what exactly is on offer here might help getting a few more going. Seems there was some different alternatives to begin with and now it's decided on something. What material will it be? Are the overlays printable with a regular printer? Will it be in one or two pieces? With a sticky backside? Stuff like that.
Just a thought.

Re: overlay blanks

2015-10-16 by <keykrazy@...>

Just thought i'd chime in here, as i've been watching this conversation with some interest. �I cannot speak for anyone else, but i know i'd be more inclined to purchase a smaller set of overlays -- maybe 5 for $25 if we could still secure such a price.

I don't really use my BC-2000 all that much, but i've got G.A.S. so bad that i'm currently holding onto 30+ keyboards (not counting the rackmount stuff) and i would be glad to have a handful of overlays on hand simply for the sake of completion. �

(I remember hooking the BC-2000 up to my Roland JX-8P once and then to my Korg DW-8000 a few days later just to see if i could get them to communicate with each other. � My tests were successful but i put the Behringer back on the shelf soon after that as i couldn't quite remember which knobs controlled what parameter without looking at some info online. �Even if i never get around to using the BC-2000 again i would very much like to have a small number of overlays on hand for a rainy synth-noodling day.)

Re: overlay blanks

2015-10-17 by meroladrew@...

I agree. I's do a handful, nit not $100 worth. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

2015-10-29 by Ted Stahl

Just curious, has this conversation died on the vine at this point?

I'm interested, but a bit confused. Last I saw was that this was going to be a single sheet, not two separate panels. I can't get my brain wrapped around that considering the different angle for the top row. There was an image earlier in this thread that looked really good, but I'm guessing that it was of a different product.

Thoughts?

Peace.

Re: overlay blanks

2016-06-03 by danielhesse1@...

Dear all,
I would like to reactivate this thread - has anybody found a solution or source for blank BCR overlays in the meantime? Please let me know.
If not, and if you are interested in this, drop me a message - I am currently looking into this.

Aim:
I am looking for overlays that can be quickly exchanged, so that you can have an overlay for each preset (rather than something to be glued to the surface). cut-outs for buttons and knobs should be tight and precise (machine cut) so that the buttons act as fixing points for the overlay (and stop it from moving). There are currently two thought options:

Option 1: Overlay made of thick paper / thin cardboard (e.g. 300g/m2). Labeling could be easily by directly writing on it, potentially even printing (not sure if normal printers can handle card board with cut-outs). Target price < 5 EUR per piece.

Option 2: Overlay made of thick plastic foil / thin plastic sheet. Potentially transparent. Labeling would need to be done via additional stickers or sticky labels. More durable than Option 1, but also more expensive. Target price < 10 EUR per piece.

I have contacted a couple of companies and will keep you posted on the outcome (i.e. if target prices are feasible...). In any case, any thoughts or feedback would be highly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance and best regards,

Daniel

A while back I have made a whole different panel for the BCR (att) so I have a template which has very accurate measurements. You could take this template and use it on a cutting plotter if you wish, on a plotter like the Silhouette cameo for example, not sure if that's an option.

Nice BCR housing! We would need a two-part overlay though for the standard BCR (upper and lower). I made a template myself as well, so that should be fine. Anyway, thanks for your offer!

Re: [bc2000] Re: overlay blanks

2016-06-04 by Scott Stanley

I haven't applied this yet but, I bought super thin, adhesive magnet paper. I am going to adhere 1 layer of blank magnet paper to the unit first. Then I will print my overlays to additional pieces on super thin printable magnet paper and the two magnets will stick together. This way the templates can be somewhat more easily swapped for other devices.

On another note, I wonder how much it would be to mass produce the housing in that picture? It's so much better! Did that get sent to Behringer? Anyone know what email to send it to? Because I would gladly send it!

Here is what I have been thinking about for an updated BCR-esque hardware sysex programmer:

Smaller, flat build
No step up for the top knobs and buttons. Seriously, what's up with that? Who green lit that design flaw? It's annoying. No standard paper size allows anyone to print a single sheet of paper with all your parameters for all knobs and buttons.

The BCR can hold several presets but, how many people set it up for 1 thing and don't bother changing it because it's an annoying hassle to swap out overlays each time. We should be able to use these things for nearly everything in our studios just by swapping presets.

Use smaller, infinite, clear with led, push button potentiometers.
- Don't get me wrong, I like using bigger components but, having the smaller infinite turning knobs that double as you buttons would allow the device to be made smaller and more portable. If every knob is a button as well that can light up (think Korg Volca Keys knobs but that are also buttons). You could have them on, off, pulse, etc...

I don't need a programer the size of a mixer. Roland's PG-800 is a prime example of a well designed programmer. It's small, robust and works very well. However, knobs would still be better than';s sliders.

Put an oled display under each knob?
OK, I realize this could be costly but, even if it only had a few characters, which could display your parameter name when not touched and the parameter amount when moved (Instead of LED lights). If you know how a Waldorf Microwave XT or even a Korg Minilogue display shows it's parameters, it would be similar to that but each knob on the BCR would have it's own display. This would be amazing. We would never need to try and print out overlays again!

Put a micro PC (Raspberry Pi perhaps) inside the BCR
I realize this could add to the size but, maybe not too badly. Having its own internal PC could potentially make it capable of running it's own programming software. It would have SD card memory capabilities, USB, video out so perhaps an you could see an on screen editor window (which could do away with annoying overlays and could save money on the OLED idea), or run video (you could edit, watch, effect video this way. You could potentially play video games on it this way. Use soft synths since it would also have audio out. Midi sequencing, from the internal PC engine. It could also provide real time updates from synthesizers for programs like http://www.fm-alive.com/Pages/SYM.aspx (presuming it could run windows or someone could write that for Linux) so you would no longer require a separate computer in the middle to do this...

whatever, the possibilities are nearly endless.

I don't know about any of you but, I would pay substantially more for that unit.

I have the skills to create an image mock up of the exterior design idea. However, my component level engineering skills might be somewhat limited here. If I knew who to contact at Behringer or another company I would gladly do so.
Regardless, THAT is the Hardware Sysex Programmer I would like. Who's with me?

A while back I have made a whole different panel for the BCR (att) so I have a template which has very accurate measurements. You could take this template and use it on a cutting plotter if you wish, on a plotter like the Silhouette cameo for example, not sure if that's an option.

Your BCR looks slick, ultragalore. Any chance you could upload the template with measurements/a vector version for plotters?

The kiwi is cool but, still not the most ideal.  You need a device that is a more simplistic standard.  That's why all knobs that double as buttons would be better.

Re: overlay blanks

2016-06-04 by gekk078@...

That magnetic paper on adhesive magnetic paper idea is great. What paper did you get and would a machine cutting printer like the one mentioned here cut it?


Also, could we get the template? I've started making my own, and it seems open office drawer is capable of anything I need except getting the rounded shape for the buttons right..

Re: overlay blanks

2016-07-21 by danielhesse1@...

Dear all,
I have found a nice solution for overlay blanks, see the attached pictures (I will do some better ones during the next few days).
- Material: Xerox Nevertear 270 µm. Very durable, waterproof thin plastic sheets (synthetic paper made of recyclable polyester). Lies nicely flat on the surface (no curving/rolling). Easy to write on, easy to clean.
- Laser cut to ensure high precision wholes, the tight fit ensures that the sheets are not moving (therefore no tape needed for fixing). So you just put it in position, and it sits tight. If you want to change to another one, you can just swap it within seconds.

If you are interested, I can have some more made. They will be 3,90 EUR per overlay (consisting of two parts) plus packaging and shipping (5 EUR). If you want 10 overlays I can make a price of 35 EUR plus packaging and shipping (5 EUR).

Please drop me a message at taktility@email.de if you are interested.

Best regards,
Daniel

Best regards,

2016-07-23 by hjjveenstra@...

In the email digest your address appears complete, but on the website it gets truncated. Bill: the domain should be "email <dot> de".
(seriously considering ordering a bunch of these overlays as well.. but 1st have to go on holiday...)

Re: overlay blanks

2016-07-26 by danielhesse1@...

Dear all,
Bad news: I have just received a notification from my supplier that he has miscalculated the laser cutting - and that he has to charge me more now… :-( This means that in the future I would have to charge 5,40 EUR per overlay or 49 EUR for 10 overlays plus shipping (5 EUR). Well, I think it is still a good price...
Good news: I still have 30 overlays left with the old price (3,90 per overlay, 35 for 10 overlays, plus shipping 5 EUR). So to all „early birds“: First come, first served ;-)

Best regards,

Daniel

Dear Daniel,

These are looking very good and professional! (So I ordered some). I'm also looking forward to a pre-printed set, in my case for the zaquencer modification.

With regards,
Ad van Gerven

Wow, your custom zaquencer case is beautiful!

Hi Daniel,

I've made BCR2000 presets for use with the Vecoven 4.X PWM Roland Super JX10/MKS70. I also designed some overlays in Photoshop for use with these presets and am wondering, if provided with an image file, if you can have these overlays printed with user supplied overlay designs?

Cheers,
James

Re: overlay blanks

2016-10-17 by <danielhesse1@...>

I will be looking at options to provide custom printed overlays (first printed, then cut) in the near future, so stay tuned (either check this group or my website www.taktility.com)

How are you cutting them? I have bcr2000 templates made in SkinMan and have looked at various diy cutters like the silhouette cameo 3. They are marketed at the balloon and butterfly crowd so I'm suspicious @ 300.00 a machine.

I can't wait. I got mine today and found Isopropanol removes ink easily including that of sharpies. I tested it on the back first ;-)

@Ron: I have a supplier who does the cutting for me with a laser. I suspect the diy cutters that you mention would not be able to cut the synthetic paper that I am using for the overlays (very robust, apparently you cannot tear it).

Dear Stefan,

Thank you for your email and interest in the Brother Scan N Cut machine.  I’ll be happy to help you.

 
I was able to scan and cut the circles and buttons out of this image.  It will cut anything it picks up, but you do have the ability to delete items you do not want cut.
 
I hope this helps!
 
Thank you again for emailing us.  If we can be of further assistance, please let us know.  We are happy to help.

Would the CM250 (CM300 in Europe I presume)
be able to scan and cut the circles and buttons in the attached
image? The image has a width of an A4 paper.

Re: [bc2000] Re: overlay blanks

I'm finding $300.00 a steep climb for overlays even with the my custom printed annotations. I am making a multi-unit bcr2000 plugin and could offer overlays as value add so I'm tempted, but evm my wife is not a butterfly cutout girl. Stands to reason your rep's name was Tammy. - Super engineered device. bet the sell like two a year.

Haha, each to his own. I've spent so much time programming different presets in BC Manager having two BRCs working in tandem to cover the full functionality of my softsynths that the price is justified for me.  You also get pain from cutting out plus hundred holes with a precision knife, and the result won't compare.
And I have a 5year old daughter into 
arts and craft. :-)

Re: [bc2000] Re: overlay blanks

2016-10-21 by medio

Ive managed to make overlays in photo paper that could be inkjet or laser, my equipment cuts it perfectly, the only thing is I cant find a low cost A4 photo paper supplier, anyone have any info on one?

Depending on the cost of the paper an overlay set could be a buck or two.

The overlays look great.

What do you guys (and gals) think about a large group order for a MackieHUI mode panel ? :)
