Need Modding Adivce) Hercules MP3 E2 Jogwheels

[gogomillard]

well i tried, but got annoyed quickly. it was like 4am and i just wanted to be done with it. haha

i've since taken it apart several more times and not having to remove those pins every time is kinda nice, so i dont really mind.

haha i saw that as well, apparently the clocks are off because it happened to me earlier as well. apparently the server's been weird lately.

okay, i went to the guitar center and bought an x1 (dammit ni!)

but anyway, i looked at the mp3 and realized it doesn't have those magnets for torque adjustments.

i'd only go through with what you're planning to do if you're patient enough to work with those pins and get them back on there.

Congrats on the X1, I'm sure you'll find some sort of use for it

Don't fear the pins. They released the jogs, so I'm good to go. To put them back on I just lined them up, and gave them a squeeze with some normal pliers and they popped right back on. I would suggest if you do this, do it in a corner on the floor. If your not coordinated they will fly and your screwed.







An LED underneath the Hercules Mp3 E2 Jogwheel? News to me, I've contacted Hercules about that LED in the pic above. If I find the output note I'll post it.

I worked on drawing and cutting the mask for a few hours last night. Lets just say Mr. Towely, Pedo bear, and Troll faces are involved. Its one of those cluster fucks of a design.

Well shit, My first attempt failed pretty bad.

I made a overlay of a wall of masking tape so I could just spray on my design. But I cut the masking tape on a wood board. So the tape didn't come off the cutting board in one piece (as it was layers of masking tape). I just bit my lip and slowly transferred it onto the Hercules face plate. After many coats and waiting for it to dry, I finally peeled off the tape to notice to spray paint bled. It wasn't clean at all and looked like ass because the button got in the way of the design. I guess between all the removing form the cutting board the tape wasn't as sticky.

So I have decided to re paint it and go with a simple stipe design of some sort. I know I'm going to have to individually cut of the paint for the buttons as all the coats are going to cause issues. I should have just painted it all black and just said F it lol.

I've ordered some standalone LEDs. The Hercules can barely power the ones it already uses. I'm going to implement them later as my GED test is in two days and I need to study.

Well I'm am done, I've had it. I'm covered in spray paint because of another unsuccessful design. Its gettin painted solid black and thats the end of it.

What I thought was the end was only the beginning of another issue. Since I hadn't planned on putting 10 coats of paint -.-. The buttons are sticking really bad. I've scrapped all the holes out carefully with a razor. But since the buttons are not pushed straight up and down they are getting stuck lopsided (not pushing directly in the center).

But for me to fix them I would have to damage the paint. Really regret doing this.

I guess I'm getting that Mk4 I wanted. &
