[sdiy] EFM News: 3500 Modular - Part 1

[tomg]

Thanks Richard, I don't offer predrilled panels. I'm much too
DIY for something like that. I sell blanks with vinyl overlays.

The overlays come covered with application tape. You
peel n' press then center punch and drill right through the
overlay. When you peel the application tape off all the cut
up bits come off. The holes in the vinyl  are cut larger than
the control nuts so there is no puckering when you tighten
them up.

It's not a big problem to design panels your own way and
ether have them made like I do or print them out on full
sheet label paper then cover with a clear vinyl .

I used to be a input pad guy too but I have convinced myself
that if you have the room, a pad on every output is more
flexible. Actually, I built a synthi VSTi and that pretty much
cleared up any questions I had about it.

Regards
Tom
