Midi Controller, Coming Together

So, still waiting on my order from livid, but as expected it has been 7days already, but its international postage so im not worried :)

I have been pressing ahead though. i have been contacting plastic fabrication companies up and down the east coast of australia looking for a decent price on CNC routing and machining for my enclosure!...... the average quote is $10 for my piece of plastic.... $310 for the routing!

It is most likely worth the money, but my wallet is on the fritz from the hectic component buying, until i found this little gem!

Based in the US of A they have FREE cad software for yyou to use, or will transfer your corelDRAW/autocad drawings to their format, and they are cheap!!

Inside the software you can get an instant quote based on your design so far, its hands down, fantastic.

I am sticking with the CAD programs though, because i already have my drawings ready and they took hours upon hours to do/figure out!. but i have included a screen shot of front panel designer for you all to ooo and ahh at :)



This includes the ardcade button layout and the 2 holes for playstation 2 thumbsticks i will be adding!

but the rest of the layout is up in the air, still can't decide on faders :/

Cheers,
