Hey everyone, This is the 24th update about the KNTRL9. We're almost there! Panels I spoke to the factory today and asked them about a final date. Like they mentioned before, they have people that are on holiday but have already started the preparations. On the 22nd of August, their CNC operator is back and they can start production. This means that they will send the panels a week later. This is a bit later than I was expecting but at least we finally have a hard date now. Keep in mind that after that, I also need to do...

Hey there! This is the 23rd weekly update. Panels The panel factory managed to find the perfect hole size for the LED pipes (the manufacturer gave me the wrong size, which made them fall out when holding the controller upside down). The test they made for this is on its way to me but they are starting production regardless of my findings. Due to holidays they are a bit short-staffed at the moment but they assured me that they will work towards the current deadline of mid August. Testing I'm still testing the different software parts (firmware, editor and Ableton...

Hey there, Here is the 22nd weekly update! I will keep it short this time again. Panel No update is complete without some info about the state of the panels. As you know, the sample panel came in and I made a new (very good looking) prototype with it. As mentioned, the LED pipes didn't fit exactly so I sent them off to the factory so that they can make sure they'll fit. We don't want them falling out when the controller is upside down. Beta testing Meanwhile, I sent out one of the prototypes to a good friend and...

Hey everyone, This is the 21st weekly update with good news about the panels! Panels The sample panel came in this week and it's (almost) perfect! The LED pipes for the lights are not a 100% perfect fit but this should be an easy fix. So I will order the panels next week! The panel is of perfect quality and also the print is way more detailed than in the last order. Software I made more improvements to the software tool. It now is more in the house style of the website and it generally just looks a bit better....

Hey all, This is the 20th weekly update. Panels The sample panel still didn't arrive this week so I contacted the sender. Turns out, there was a mistake in the address and the package was (about to be) sent back to the Netherlands. I think we managed to intervene before it was actually sent back and when that works out, the package will be delivered either today or on Monday (I'm sitting next to the door now). I have booked the CNC machine on Monday evening so I really hope it will arrive before then so I can test it...
