Never mind busy, it’s just been far too hot to slave away over the pedalboard.  There has been some progress, however.  I have now completed the testing (and relocation where necessary) of the neodymium magnets.  As I’ve mentioned repeatedly, I’m not absolutely happy with all of them, but I need to actually use the pedalboard before I make any further adjustments.  Here is a progress photo.

You can see that the magnets are not linear.  This offends my sense of aesthetics, but I will just have to live with it.

I am currently looking for a 4-wire connector that I can insert into the long MIDI cable – as it is, both ends of it are rather inaccessible, and there is the risk of damage if the pedalboard is separated from the console.  Problem is, I can’t quite describe what it is I’m looking for, so I don’t know how to buy it from an internet shop.  “4-wire connector” is apparently not descriptive enough.  What I want is a… thing… that, you know, does… stuff.
