Lpd8 - What to do?

[-AyeAreTee]

So I have an extra Lpd8 board. Well pretty much a whole fully working lpd8, only problem is the pads i have for it wont make it trigger, but if i use a different pads it works. (I used the single pad it comes with to prove that it does work)

So really, I would just need a replacement set of pads.

BUT FIRST, I wanna see if any of you have any ideas on what I could do with it? Mod ideas, etc?

Would look the shit if you got some arcade buttons and green knobs! ;-)

how would i go about putting arcade buttons on this?

[Ashigari]

you'd need to build a new case at least and no idea on how hard it would be to solder

[derschaich]

yeah, go for arcade mod, unsolder the potis (keep 'em, use them in new case) and get a new fancy case

might end up with something like my CLONE (Visit my Blog [-> Signature] for DIY-Tutorial)

i'm looking to do the same thing..

This nanokontrol mod is pretty much the same as your lpd8;
You could just mount the velocity buttons still on their original pcb on the underside of a new case, desolder the original pots and wire in nicer ones, and add faders or any other analogue x/y components to the some of the pot connections if you wish.

He added extra arcade buttons to a keyboard pcb which might be an option because replacing velocity sensitive pads with arcade buttons seems counterproductive, i've read comments from people saying they prefer the pads to buttons.
