**Midibox Module Selection:** The final tally of buttons, faders, and LED's is what determines the number and types of modules that you require. Mine is as follows: | **Midibox Module Selection:** The final tally of buttons, faders, and LED's is what determines the number and types of modules that you require. Mine is as follows: |

**Wiring the Panel:** Now comes the tedious and time consuming part of the build, wiring the front panel. For the most part, the PDF diagrams on the ucapps site that accompany each module are the keys to understanding the wiring sequence. I'm using ribbon cable, as it will be easy to attach to the modules, and keeps the overal spaghetti-ness of the panel down considerably. | **Wiring the Panel:** Now comes the tedious and time consuming part of the build, wiring the front panel.

**The LCD DIM Pot doesn't work:** For whatever reason, the pot I have on the core that is supposed to dim the backlight doesn't work. I don't really care though, as the LCD is at a good level, and I don't think I'll need to change it. | **The LCD DIM Pot doesn't work:** For whatever reason, the pot I have on the core that is supposed to dim the backlight doesn't work.

| **Trouble Doing Sysex Transfers via Vmidibox64:** I wanted to customize the button/LED behavior to act as toggled inputs instead of simple on/off (meaning 1 press turns LED on, 2nd press turns LED off), as well as change the default fader/pot labels (Reverb, Chorus, etc) to labels that matched the functions on my box. It seems to be easily done via Serge's Vmidibox64 program, but every time I would then try to do the sysex dump to the midibox, the LCD would start showing bizarre characters, or shift over a few characters. Weird stuff. Eventually, I used Midi-Ox and the mk_syx perl script to create the Sysex file and upload it, which worked perfectly.
