Who would be interested in a MIDIpal SMT kit? I won’t do less than 50 kits, so I want to be sure I will sell them.
Target price would be in the 40-60 euros range for a batch of 50, probably 30-50 for a batch of 100.
Please answer only if you are interested in a kit. There will be assembled units anyway.
There will be pre-assembled units, at probably the same price as the kit – because they will be done in larger quantity by people with a better supply chain than me.
Pre-built is going to be cheaper and less troublesome for me.
I would be interested in one kit!
im hesitantly in for one (kit)... any idea (roughly) when tho?
cash flow is a bit of an issue for a month or two…
Does the kit come with a box/case? Is it shruthi sized? I will have a spare shruthi case once the programmers done. :)
The prebuild is a fab idea and im sure you could charge more … just saying. The amount of people who would want ready to go rather than a kit must be at least 10-1.
Many thanks :)

It is the size of a credit card, not the size of a Shruthi. There will be a case but no design finalized yet. When? Within 2 months.
Probably. What is it? Is it the SMT toy you’ve been talking about, and if so, what does it do?
(Sorry, I’ve had less time to read the forums recently. A summary would be nice, if it’s not too much trouble)

This topic is only to get a reliable estimate of how many units could be sold if I do a small batch of kits.
Now that looks like it could be a lot of fun… Assuming the price is reasonable, I would definitely be interested in one of these.
Im in for one as well!
I’m also in for one possibly two depending on price.
im sorry, ive changed my mind, ive got far too much on the to-do pile, and if a ready built ones the same or cheaper, ill just do that. I really struggle with time and been doing far more music than building recently….
just so you know.

Buy 6 of them, and design a case for them with jack sockets connected to the raw UART in/out (these two pins allow several MIDIpal to talk to each other with a simpler connection than the MIDI cable). Bring patch cables. Now you have a modular MIDI machine!
