| * **NOTE on LEDs**: apparently some time after the original writing of this WIKI page, it has been discovered that blue, purple, and white LEDs (well anything with a large proportion of energy in the high frequency end of the spectrum) are hard to use, and possibly also bad for your eyes... While we're at it, apparently for best results you should be looking for tinted LEDs (not waterclear) with wide (60 degree? 100 degree?) viewing angles. Oh, and anything "high brightness" is out now.

| - | * 15x Rotary Encoders. They are the ones that Voti sell [[http://www.voti.nl/winkel/p/SW-ROT.html]], but I didn't get them from Voti, I got them direct from Electronics China, part number R162EC-BD1-24C {{mb-6582:r1-ec.pdf|Datasheet}} which have shaft length 20mm (L=20mm) and overall height of 26.5mm. If you look closely on the PCB, you'll see there's provision for smaller encoders with a different pinout, but they might not be the right height. The ones I use can be pulled apart and the detent removed, but leave the menu encoder detented for better handling of menus, patch changes etc. Other builders confirm that an "Alpha" brand rotary encoder (Mouser part #: 318-ENC160F-24P ) is identical. | + | * 15x Rotary Encoders.

It's what I ship in my other DIY kits.** |
| * 15x Knobs. I'm using the "Waldorf" knobs from ALBS.de (just like TK!) and these nicely cover the threaded bushings on the encoders that poke through above the panel by 1.5mm.
