has anyone posted a good way to have analog pots coexist peacefully with
the AtomaHawk kit?

that ~might~ cause problems... some sequencers, thru-boxes, mergers, etc
might assume that downstream devices can understand NRPN running status,
and edit the input stream to maximize throughput.

and you can put together ten very professional kits for the same or less
money than ten people each scraping together a half-assed kit.

i can see myself spending some $$$ on a rack kit, especially if it's done
right (if i did it wrong i'd still spend $$$). i'd spend about $50-70US
just to get an empty case locally, so double that for a kit (with LCD!!!)
is a no-brainer. i'll keep my EX800 as a table-top module for now...
waiting for updates in this...
when i made my FTB-303 i used back-printed lexan for the front and rear
panels. they kick ass!

those pictures were taken with a camera that uses floppy disks ;)
i think i spent about $150-200 for those panels, but having ten of them
made would have cost about an extra $5 each ($20-25 per unit). contact me
off list and i'll give you details.
