Thank you in advance for participating in the survey

Herschel January 07.07.2009	Originally Posted by autonic The face plate is designed using www.frontpanelexpress.com (http://www.schaeffer-ag.de/ for european orders) Could use the free software designer that this company offers to design a faceplate for the whole VCI that could attach via the original front panel screws. Make it out of really thin aluminum. That would be fairly easily swappable, sturdy, and probably pretty cheap to do in batch runs.
Mechelle Duncil 19.06.2009	Originally Posted by BentoSan We looked at using Sytleflip for out overlays but were very unhappy with quality, that made us keep looking and we stumbled across these overlays that were using at the moment. The problem is that we can only get these printed in large numbers and which makes individual users prints not possible unless we can get them custom printed by another company. We are looking into the possibility but theres no more information than that at this stage - so dont get your hopes up or make any plans based on if its going to happen or not because we dont even know if its possible yet. Hey regarding the style flip overlays... I finally got mine. I also have all the Djranking s available overlays What I can tell you is that the quality is completly diferent. In favor of styleflip I have to say that their product ( custom sticker overlay) was not specially designed with a vci in mind. It was thought to be a sticker-overlay that could be cut for lots of gear... so the final result is not as ideal as the djranking s overlays which were thought for the vci. So I will post a small thread with pics in order to make a proper comparison, but for now I can tell you that the quality is not as good, the sticker is not rigid and it is very easy to tear, also the application is extremly hard (I thought I was going to loose it a couple of times). As the genious guys from style flip decided to cut the overlay in 3 sections!!! (remember the metal plates from the vci you need to remove to install the Djtt overlay? the ones on top of the transpose and top part?) Well style flip does not consider removing this plates so they cut the overlay in sectons to fill this plates... Regarding on the printing... here I have to take my hat off.. the result was awesome... my desing looked perfect. Finally waht made me happy was thatu they cuted the cirular part of the overlay correspondant to the jogwheels... At the beggining I though that they were useless, but decided to give it a try and stick them on the back part of the jogwheels so I could flip them for exhibition purposes in case that the touch sensor would get blocked. But guess what... It dind

Herschel January 18.06.2009	Originally Posted by BentoSan I cant really see how that could be done while still keeping the overlay decent quality, but if you can believe of a way pitch us a line. 2 possible solutions, but not sure if they would work and still retain quality. 1) completely rigid. Could be a good idea but would have to be a decent thickness which would affect the travel of the buttons. 2) magnetic and semi-flexible. Could possibly work if the VCI was magnetic, and the overlay was designed to allow a lot of space for slider and jog wheel travel. Would be switchable, but hard to allign properly because of magnetism.

Joannie Brague 14.10.2009	hey there. as a graphic designer, i would say the current overlays are cool. the layouts are clean and simple and the type is great, however i did notice that some of the kerning was off. perhaps for the next round you might want to take a closer look. I haven't held one but perhaps the cyan can benefit from a bit less saturation and a bit more white in the color (arcade edition). but then again im only going off of a photograph. if you don't have a designer on staff i'd be willing to kern the type for you so that it's Bauhaus approved it's the least i could do for the content i get from the site.
Eleanore Neaville 26.08.2009	Are you planning make silver overlay with 2_2 labels (like black version) ?

alfredo moreira 06.07.2009	any news or word yet on the possibility of a new overlay?
MadMan Ajms 29.06.2009	can anyone post a nice picture of a VCI-100 black with the 2.2 new, overlay on it?
Eli Hergonz 25.06.2009	Don`t ever hesitate buying djtt overlays? They are made from almost best quality material. Most of you never even see that material. It`s not regular self adhesive paper. It has chemical and moisture resistance as well as heat resistance -40 to 400 F, and its thick. If you even try to buy it and print on it you will have to pay at least 50$ just for printing and cutting. I bought the first overlay but now I am making my own, and it will be printed on PVC poor material.
alfredo moreira 23.06.2009	glow in the dark would be rad! also, i still really really want that nintendo controller overlay! i would buy that in a hot second.
Lilliana Perris 23.06.2009	GLOW IN THE DARK...GREEN on BLACK PLEASE!
Xavier Emanuels 23.06.2009	still time to submit more answers

Xavier Emanuels 18.06.2009	I doubt magnets would keep it in place unless the whole overlay was a magnet
Roberto Viccione 18.06.2009	I dunno... maybe making it rigid and the same size as the body of the VCI. The jog wheels and faders would hold it close to in place, I'd believe. Maybe just use adhesive magnets on the sides, near the screws, to hold them in place.

Roberto Viccione 18.06.2009	Any chance for changeable overlays? Like, that might lock in place instead of being adhesive? I'd totally have different colors and kinds depending on the gig
Xavier Emanuels 18.06.2009	Originally Posted by Karlos Santos Yeah man i understand the costing would be difficult. Yup that and its no ordinary print job - they have to be able to print onto the overlays and get a nice bond that isnt going to smear or rub away like the print job on the EG overlays. Not easy, but were looking into it - hopefully it can come to fruition.
nayit ruiz jaramillo 18.06.2009	Yeah man i understand the costing would be difficult. I just dont trust Styleflip. The template is awful you cant zoom in and get it just so. Ill still be intersted in the DJTTs one anyway
Xavier Emanuels 18.06.2009	Originally Posted by Karlos Santos Would this be like Styleflip where a user could send in a DIY JPG that you would make an overlay with? Cus im sooo dubious about that company and i want a camouflage VCI.

Xavier Emanuels 19.06.2009	The overlays are the same used on Moog gear and are very very high quality.

Verona Fashbaugh 18.06.2009	Whenever I get the financial resources to buy a VCI, I would def buy an overlay, glow in the dark would be tight.
Florence Alch 18.06.2009	I would buy an overlay, Im just unsure about the rough textured looking background, they make the lettering look not as neat and tidy. I however would like an overlay, Im loving the silver DIY overlays as they don't look as cheap as the new ones with blue lettering. In all honesty (I know it's not financially practical) I believe you would make a killing on new metal plates. * edit * I havn't actually seen an overlay in real life, I was going off the arcade edition picture and after a second look the lettering looks pretty tidy, I believe the blurry picture gave me a misleading opinion.
Lilliana Perris 18.06.2009	FIRST! Glow in the Dark sounds like fun. BRING IT!
