Hi all,

I'm (still) working on a MOTM style custom panel for one of
the two P3 sequencers. (http://www.p3sequencer.com)

Here's a picture of the design:

The problem is the momentary switches for selecting the 16
steps, transport control and edit commands. Unlike Colin's
original design, my switches will be mounted in the panel,
and not on the pc-board.

I'm looking for switches with the following features:

- MOTM look (whatever that is!).
- Good quality.
- Relatively large button cap surface for easy targetting.
- Low spring resistance for light action.
- Different color caps, if possible.
- In-panel mount, just like a pot or LED.

Problem is that I have NO experience at all with this, and
there are so many of them available. Apart from being
broke, this is the main reason why the project isn't going
anywhere.

Any suggestions?

- Robert
