[sdiy] Practical Elecronics "Minisonic2"

[Scott Stites]

No kidding, that is quite an enjoyable page!  And it looks like you found an easier mini-keyboard to hack up than I did!

Thanks for sharing that,
Scott

Welcome to the list Julian! I have to say "wow" and congratulations on your
site and the effort you've put into constructing the Minisonic 2. Also,
thanks VERY much for sharing your efforts and tips with all of us. I
especially like your tip of using foam core board to make a mock up of your
front panel. I've done stuff like this at work for years, but for some odd
reason (brain fade most likely) I've never really thought to use it to test
a synth panel layout. It's a great way to test the 'user friendliness' of a
layout, and to make sure you like it before committing to a permanent (and
more expensive) panel.

Thanks again, and happy hacking!
