New Front Panel Overlay coming for JD-XA
Hey guys, As I posted on another thread, I will be producing a new panel overlay for the JD-XA. This will fix the readability issues along with fingerprints, glare, and scratching. These will be made like all SynthGraphics overlays with 10-mil lexan with the print on the backside, this is NOT a cheap sticker. If you have seen a Moog or DSI Prophet-08 panel this is exact same quality and materials. I have the first panel done so you can see it for reference below of how the entire design will look.
Message me to be put on the waiting list, should have these ready to start taking orders before Thankgiving. :)

This look really good! I have two XAs and I might be interested but depends on price point (I appreciate it's a quality product).

Will do! Not sure on pricing yet, will be 5-pieces total, the front panel is pretty large on the JD-XA so that will effect the cost (lexan sheets are really expensive).richardbates1 wrote:Jamie

Re: New Front Panel Overlay coming for JD-XA
I'm in for the overlay, pending the price, but that might not be an issue. I want protection for safe playing.. LOL
Sorry, just had to try out a larger font for grins...

Very interesting!!
I think We must remove all the controls caps, apply panels and then mouth the caps, it's correct?
Thank you.

Yes, plenty of clearance. Tested fitted a piece already, so no issues with that.Redrain68 wrote:after there is enough thickness to slide controls ?SynthGraphics wrote:Just the slider caps, which come of really easy.Redrain68 wrote:Very interesting!!

I was under the impression that the "TEXT" was going to be under the controls, so that one could see the name of the control more easily. Is that still in the plan? The photo does not show that.

It will if possible, depends on spacing, that is something I can change easily before production.DWareham02 wrote:SynthGraphics wrote:Hey guys, As I posted on another thread, I will be producing a new panel overlay for the JD-XA.

Re: New Front Panel Overlay coming for JD-XA
For me I think it looks good the way it is in the photo, I don't think the spacing on the front panel allows for much of the text to be at the bottom anyway.SynthGraphics wrote:It will if possible, depends on spacing, that is something I can change easily before production.DWareham02 wrote:SynthGraphics wrote:Hey guys, As I posted on another thread, I will be producing a new panel overlay for the JD-XA.

Re: New Front Panel Overlay coming for JD-XA
I had a little fun placing the image that Jamie "Synthgraphics" designed/created and placed it on the JDXA panel in photoshop to see what it will look like on the synth.
I created two photos,
1 is the old look
and the 2nd is Jamie's design to see the difference in look.
1. 2. I didn't get the image to exactly line up perspectively in photoshop to all the controls.
Not a design mistake by Synthgraphics

It's finished! Die cut fits perfectly with a little 'wiggly room' to spare. Image does not show the bender panel, but its also done. Should have pricing by next monday (due to turkey day).
