Sequential circuits samplers

hi shawn,

no, it works off the lcd power which is on the muli-wired cable that
plugs into the verticle pins, NOT the lcd backlight power (unused on
the vfd- remove that cable)

I was kinda afraid to post how I modded my 440 to have the VFD....
Although it LOOKS AMAZING! i did have to use a hacksaw (you could do
it with a dremel) to widen up the stand-off area on the display board
to allow the 440's original stand-offs to fit. I'm definately going to
have to post a photo. I basically cut two plastic strips from a
seedling planter tray, and constructed straps with holes for the
stand-offs and strapped the display in place, and tightened down all
the way! it was very crafty, looks clean -- but that part about the
hacksaw is a little sketchy--

photos uploaded in a few mins, showing the inside!

later,
ben
