I had a broken Display Window replacement from Elektron and two spare Digitakt Frontpanels from EBay. So I had the idear to paint the Frontplate to my taste. Because my DT 1 is the most used Instrument in my Setup. I also have the DT2 . I just wanted to share this picture. Hope you like it. It’s handpainted and has 2 UV protection layers. I like it.

This pussy says it looks cool. I often think about designing the surface of my Elektrons in some cool way. I like especially that all the lettering is gone :wink:

I always wonder about people that do this. I’ve been around a long time. I’ve seen people do this to the old Electribes, MPC’s, and even Machinedrums (which I personally can’t imagine defiling in such a way!).

I guess they know the interface so well they aren’t concerned with labels, and maybe are attached to the gear so solidly they can’t imagine ever selling it? I don’t know. I wouldn’t do it myself, but I admire the commitment in a way.

Thanks. That pattern title was not of sexism. It’s a place holder there is a hip hop sample in the pattern from my last album . It’s for my live gig that I know witch patter I have active :slight_smile:

I already have two original frontplates. If I’m sick on this painting I can jump back to the original . I will never do this paintings when I can’t jump back to the original. But in this case I have 3 Frontplates in total :slight_smile:

I’m part of the minority who misses the old chunky ELEKTRON lettering on the faceplates :space_invader:
