hey 7million

would it be hard for you to offer an OG404 Retro Faceplate too? it's just some fx which got other numbers, i would love to own one for the OG too (would buy it immediately in Combo with an SX Retro Faceplate if the Price isn't too high)

do you know in which area the Price will be? Thx for your effort, looking Forward to this!

Thanks to everyone who's interested - I have forged a good relationship with my new printer/manufacturer and they are very keen to work on this ( I have revised the graphics and I am just waiting on some samples )

Although initially they will be white text on a clear overlay
We also spoke about maybe doing a limited print run of gold, silver or bright flourescent on clear.

What's the word on this? The three designs you have are fresh. Any chance in releasing high-res copies of the designs if you're not going to actively pursue printing them? Tons of us would love to have this on our SP's, although I'd prefer to get it printed on metal thru you.

My apologies I know its been a while and I should have posted more updates - the latest is this - received a polymer laser cut I to ensure the the buttons and everything is lined up.

This plastic is obviously to thin as you can see by the flex it has in the photo so Im waiting for the next polymer sample to come through.

Still trying to explore a metal plate option its just a matter of finding a metal fabricator that wont try charge me an astronomical amount of money.

Then next steps will be the text and graphics to print onto the overlay. I am trying to aim for a prince no higher than $60 if possible

Wanted to share my design with all you forum heads! print and use as you want. Sometime ago I posted here that I was creating a retro faceplate based of my original designs. Unfortunately it just wasn't possible. The idea was to make a 303 inspired but then this idea was born.. shortcuts made easy to use by displaying them all on the machine and not having to reference the manual. I kept the effect labels under the pads as per my original design too.

I have seen my original retro 303 design come to life thanks to pavelxpowers but since I have evolved it since that time I have decided to freely share my current design.. enjoy pass it around, don't sell it..

also cross posted this on facebook sp-404 freaks group
