Take what you need, put back a bit more, leave the place behind you better than it was before :-)

I gave two options (one with X and one without) to the pro ad/marketing company with the gel printer. I told them I couldn't decide. I told the guy in charge whatever he decide or adjust its ok with me. So now it's out of my hands and hopefully next week we know the outcome. Thanks guys for your input.
We've spend too many hours on this...

Regarding the enclosures I've just had them repainted with a new 2-component matt white paint.
The enclosures are prepainted in China, cheap but the quality is so and so. But its ok as a primer with some machining.

After the print they be clear coated with a new fast clear coat. Since the gel print is incompatible with solvents, the clear coat need to be 'dusted' onto the surface very carefully for the first layers. The new clear coat type may save some time to my painting friend. So nothing is easy...
But I got more gear than I need...and I like it!

Pricing?
How would I know that until I paid all the guys/companies helping me producing the units?
I need to know all costs first.

Option B
Yes it will be some kind of 'B' like print. Unfortunately the gel printer the company use got low on a toner so they have to wait for a new set of 8 colors.

As the printer detects ANYTHING <50% as 'Hey, you have to immediately run out and buy a new toner for mucho dineros, thank you for letting us screw you on half the ink/gel", it was hard to tell which of the 8 toners that went dry...

Found some time to get most of the guts of the new MIDX-20 ready...
I still need to solder 50 power connectors and mount abt. 200 screws with nut and then test the boards  :P

Also got a few things to do to the firmware. Enclosures are incoming soon, I hope.



For the rest of things I do I have halted in a seasonal break.
The summer is short up here in the north and I have to enjoy the freshness and warmth this beautiful season brings.
You have to have fun and jump with your kids as well!!!  :D

The shortest day of the year here today, less than 9 hours of light.

That is a lot of soldering, hope you are not breathing it all in..

That does look nice. Have all the units been pre sold or is the order list still open? Time to send an email?

I have a long list for MIDX-10 and MIDX-20 but in reality only 30-50% follow through.
The sooner you get to the list, the better.

If I manage to sell these and folks are happy I'll build a new batch of either MIDX-10 or MIDX-20.

I still have things to do related to the firmware, boot loader and PC program, and I have to write a manual, build and test all units, packing etc. Also I need to decide a price.
So it will still takes some time before shipping.

The major bulk of board components are mounted by hand in China, I hope they have sufficient ventilation.

I've been breathing solder fumes for about 55 years and still have most of my faculties :-).

Fantastic! Any idea if a Triple Play could be used with it? 5pin out to synth.

Yes, FTP to 5-pin MIDI works according to others.
But now that I have a FTP I will verify it myself.

So, in this setup, could I use the UMI3 to go to 3 favorite patches dedicated to each button as a patch change at any time?

Also, could I hook up 2 FS7's and have 6 Ctrl change foot switches total (7 - if you count the exp pedal on/off) to be able to utilize more of the 8 controller assignments with dedicated switches? The software only shows 4, and the SW1/2, & expression, so I don't know how this would work. But please tell me it will, because that would be perfect.

A: Yes (and it looks you can also add a EV-5 to the UMI3 sending CC#)

A: You have to scroll down - There's plenty of CC# to choose from in the list if scrolled down.
