Modular Synth Panels

I think Thomas is confusing his rotary sequencer designs. There's no inner circle on the 
klee, and no central "big knob". I just took a look at his design, and it appears to use the 
smaller knobs exclusively. 

The lumex leds that fit those size hole (5/16in) are part no. 67-1157-ND (yellow) from 
digikey, 1.13$ each. They also come in green and red, and perhaps some other colors. 

And Thomas is correct - don't scrimp on switches! They get a workout, especially the 
pattern select switches. If you can afford the switches that motm uses, get those - the nkk 
bat handle ones. When I was buying switches for the klee, I compromised and got the 
nkk's with the cheaper handles, which saved me perhaps 50$ (its a lot of switches!), but i 
miss the better feel of the bat handle ones. 

Shameless self promotion - here's a video that features my klee (not TW's design) and 
TW's rotary sequencer - http://www.vimeo.com/2702873
