Step 3Carve your case...
At this point I would recommend you have a friend named Pheonix, who has a metal shop, and loves to help friends with their projects. If you don't, anyone with a well stocked metal (or wood) shop will suffice.
Using your cardboard prototype as a stencil, CAREFULLY drill the Keyboarder 7-7 to match all the holes & slots. To make the slot for the sliders, I used a circular saw against the wishes of the Pheonix - although it worked out OK, the slots weren't perfect, and, as Pheonix pointed out, I could have easily ruined my project case.
I also drilled two large holes for the MIDI in and out, and a small one for the power supply in the back of the unit.
Pheonix drilled holes on the bottom of the unit, then threaded the holes in the circuitboard so it mounted on the bottom of the case with 2 screws.
