Step 2Prototype
To test various configurations and layouts, we made a cardboard prototype of the Keyboarder case, first of just the face and then of the whole controller. We placed the switches and rockers in their place, then the sliders, and tested whether the distances were right.
Though it's not necessary, and probobly not good for the components (since each time you solder a connection, it deteriorates slightly - as specially the LED tipped toggles and the plastic pushbuttons), I actually wired the whole unit and played with it for a bit to make sure. You should be able to get a good enough idea if your design will work without actually soldering the connnections at this point.
Though I don't remember this, our friend Michael White ostensibly improved our design at this point by staggering some of the EQ pots.
