I need a corel or eps format file.
Are there more people who want a panel like that in dotcom format?
Because that really breaks down the price a lot.

I have been sourcing parts for this panel and have not been able to find an eight position rotary switch that is evenly spaced like I have it laid out. If anybody has a source I would be happy to hear about it. Otherwise I will have to change that part of the Range section a little before this gets printed.

mono-poly, I can save it from Illustrator as an EPS but I cannot add it as an attachment to the forum. PM me your e-mail and I will try to send it that way. What is the price looking like? If you don't mind me asking.

Fonik, Krunkus, anyone with sliders, can someone please tell me how much panel space the sliders take up?

My sliders are a no-name type from Dick Smith.
They're 45mm travel, body 73mm long, 13mm wide, with mounting holes (tapped 3mm) at 65mm centres. I mounted them 17mm apart which requires smaller (10mm wide) knobs than usual. I had to get the knobs from Farnell, they were actually the hardest part of my Klee to source, and the last part placed.
I was thinking the other day that if I were to make another Klee I would replace the sliders with a switch of some type. I don't mean to rain on your parade, but I reckon 95% of the time you actually want the sliders to be at a particular ratio of the maximum voltage scale (which is very flexible anyway) and the ability to dial in an exact fraction is a bit over rated.
A 6 position rotary with a matched resistor network around 5 positions (0,25,50,75,100%) plus a small rotary pot on the 6th position for the extra flexibility.
Just an idea.

was it the sparkfun 4x4?

http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=7835
they are kinda big...

i made this for midibox:
http://www.midibox.org/forum/forums.html/topic,10004.msg74631.html#msg74631

in fact, you could replace the entire digital board with a midibox
and get clock, noise, midi sync, stored patches, etc etc

add analog out and you can replace the analog pcb too...
long sequences, multiple outs, wheee
maybe someday...

this has gone a bit off topic though, eh?

Hi guys,

Based off of my MFOS Rotary panel, here is my in progress KLEE panel. I hope to get the kinks worked out of this and maybe production of them through someone (no announcement yet though). The start washers are where push button will go. Large nuts = jacks, small nuts = switches, etc. Those black plugs on some of the holes are Lumex LED's upside down to represent the style I will be using. Thoughts?

Check out www.naturalrhythmmusic.com/mfos.html for my other rotary sequencer layout. The FPE panel file for this one is in the filkes section on the Modular Synth Panels group at yahoogroups. Thanks!

Just checked out the 1st half of Divide By Odd - 1st Movement from your webpage. I can't WAIT to hear what you start doing when your Klee is done! DVO is one of the coolest ambient pieces I've heard in a long, long time! (Not enough time tonight to listen to the whole thing).
The ever changing drones in the background with seemingly odd but not, burblings in the foreground ...... Smile

Barking right up my own ambient alley - further inspiring me in my return in building to build FASTER so that I can get enough of my machine up and running to begin composing on it. Very Happy

Great work sir! Looking forward to more from ya! Shocked

Especially with the power of the Klee! (Reminding myself to start on building mine, SOON! Smile

)

Thanks for the answers about the sliders guys. I was thinking of having a go at designing one to become a bridechamber panel but not after that Shocked

I'm buying one for sure. Looks great!

Edit: I just noticed you said no announcements yet. Didn't Scott Deyo say it's "officially ripped off"?

The only thing I'd change is expand the oval a bit to better fill the space that is available. That would give us just a little more space between the knobs.

Yeah, the knobs might look a bit close together, but in my rotary MFOS build the entire center circle of "fine" knobs is as close together as the closest of spacing on this build. I have no experience yet with the KLEE but those who I have spoken with say you end up playing with the load switches often. I don't want to get the oval so big as to interfere with the bus switches for gates or load.

The circle/oval is easy to adjust based on tweaking from the outside edge of the pots and there is no interference with the grabbing of them from both sides either. The only thing I might change is to either shift the oval to the right a bit or two move the switches by the external input jacks on the left. Now that I have had a full night of sleep I seem to think the spacing could be more balanced to the right side of the module.

Scott Deyo... hold on any planning till we get this just right please. Yes, Scott will likely be working to get this out to the masses for one of his awesome prices. Glad to see you're interested and thanks for the feedback. Can the KLEE users out there give this a functionality look over please? Thanks guys!

Thomas

Functionality wise it looks just fine.
Very cool looking panel.
