little by little, it seems that they are reproducing the SFP system modularity in the hardware domain

It's a sort of "real" SDK homemade work!

Nice

The black caps are a pain to get off. I bought a load of caps from Mouser.com and sold the two extra sets on ebay for 12 quid a set. Cost 35 dollars just in postage from the US. Sorry but I sold both spare sets to a guy from an electronic music band in Sheffield who sang about some "waitress working in a cocktail bar".(I preffered being boiled).

The coloured caps have lead content so you should not eat them!! They are alot easier to put on if you warm them on a radiator first! They actually make programming alot quicker/easier and not just cosmetic!

They are a pain top get off and hurt my fingers.

I put the cap between my thumb and next finger (pointy finger) with the finger bent and gripped tight whilst slowly lifting my right finger to ease the cap upwards. Try one and you will see what I mean. I will dig out my mouser order and pm/send details to you.

I am in the process of applying to move to Vancouver so a big thumbs up to Canada.....Just need a job there.....

If you are an audio guy and know your stuff.... Talk to Clive at "Allstar Show industries" in Vancouver...
If you are into lighting, talk to the Guys at Q1 Productions limited in Vancouver.....I work at Q1's Winnipeg Shop, (used to work for Clive in Edmonton for Allstar....)

Hi Slammah,

thanks for that. I only do music as a hobby.

So am looking for openedge/progress work out there. IN the meantime learning Java which seems straightforward and taking a degree in my spare time.

Try pulling one of those caps off and you see what I mean. Maybe easier with pliers!!!

I've put these coloured caps on my Pro Ody ASB.

To remove the existing caps I levered them off with a flat screwdriver, and my fingers. Very little force required.

Putting on the coloured ones was done by warming the caps in my hand and stretching them a bit on a smaller flat srew driver to make an circle into an oval.

All time consuming, but rewarding in the end.

I bought the caps from mouser and I have a spares/leftovers if any anyone is interested, since I dont see me needing them for anything else.

cheers

I think I see the logic in the color choices you made for the caps (VCO1 -> blue, VCO2 -> green, EG's -> red, etc). Does this duplicate the colors of the original?

Thanks! It looks like you can buy them singly for 0.17 each (0.15 each for a quantity of 50). Did you need to make a minimum buy, and is that the reason you have extras?

Hi,

I bought extra incase I broke some during my install. I also though someone else would maybe want a set also.

I think these caps are worth it, makes the ody look really cool. Although I think my cat likes to sit on the synth more now it has some colour.

does anyone else have a cat that enjoys walking over their synths? It a nightmare, my poor esq-1 is old and I dont think it can take 7kg moggy jumping on it every day!
