> how did you manage to preserve the inscriptions (is that the right > word?) on top of the poly? (you know..... where the parameters are > written..... all of them....the scale of the volume knob etc....) The parameter section I completely masked off - it's just a big rectangular sticker, so I just decided to keep that the same. The knob scales etc were very tricky - I essentially masked them off with strips of tape just big enough to cover them. A few things, like volume level and sequencer speed, I felt were more a matter of "put the knob where it sounds right", so I didn't bother with the level marks for them. I left the entire "input" section (ie. keypad, write button, etc...) alone, just masked off a box around the entire thing. > if you just sprayed it they would sure be gone.... if you covered them > with tape or something similar it would not look very good... (i > think, at least) -> got a photo? I spent a bit of time on the masking, so the finish is OK... not perfect, but only really noticeable if you really inspect it. I have to finish the film in my camera (a waterproof disposable, so I figure I might as well try to actually use it to get some water shots instead of wasting it on "normal" shots...), once I do that I should be able to scan them pretty quickly. In the meantime, I've just uploaded a larger version of the red mockup, it vaguely shows how I intended to mask off the areas - changed it a little bit, but it's pretty-much how I did it. Oh, and I couldn't find a really "red" metallic paint (closest I could find was more a maroon), so I had to use a "standard" paint, basically your standard "fire-engine red" or close to it... Oh, as for the back panel, I completely sprayed that with the intention of printing on a black KORG logo and nothing else... I've made up a print of the logo, but am still trying to decide how to apply it. Lack of labelling above the switches / MIDI / etc. is a bit of a pain, but should be OK once I learn which MIDI port is which, and the switches won't matter once I move them to the front panel Hehe, anyone getting sick of my long posts yet? ; p cya Lee http://www.baudalign.com
