Analogue-sequencer

Let's see:

>Ah, you mean the 'standard' Colin square buttons with the
><cough> beautiful <cough> SF printing?

Yes, them. Heh. I like the feel of these particular switch assemblies, and
anyone that doesn't like, er, *that* font :-) could very easily change the
inserts, as the cap lifts off and allows you to put in whatever you like.

>I had square buttons in mind too. More space to hit at. ;)
>But what about the ones used in the MOTM-600 sequencer or
>the MOTM-650 shown here:

Supose we could, though making a long slot for PC mount switches seems to be
a bit easier to handle than making a whole boat-load of rectangular/square
holes, especially as I'd be 'machining' this with just about the simplest
metalworking tools. I can do round holes in metal just fine, thanks, but
when it comes to little square ones, I'd prefer to make as few as possible.

Presuming these would be the MOTM-600 style buttons with in-built LEDs?
Might be OK if they support the bi/tri-color function required by Colin's
board. I think I'd prefer separate LEDs in their own apertures, and a
channel (for 1-16 buttons) or big square hole (for the 9 function keys) for
the buttons, personally (it gets back to putting the non-round holes in the
panel, for me).

(not in this mail is the Stooge panel estimated delivery time)
May, 2004? Well, it seems a long way off, but I've got so many other
projects half-started that I could accept this as the earliest time for
getting a panel, keeping myself busy with other things in the mean-time. So,
eh, no problem!
