Anyone know what that little, yellow, plastic looking monster thing is on the top left of the rightmost prototype?

  2. Definitely a retro NASA look to them. What I want to know is what's that little thing on the top left of the rightmost prototype? Like a little plastic monster.

  3. Its a switch that says "PUR" above it. Kind of does look like a monster with it arms out tho.

  7. The yellow thing on the top left of the right unit (the 10-step sequencer) appears to be a toggle switch. The "arms" are probably the letters "P" and "R" sticking out from behind the switch, as the writing above it reads "PWR".
    According to shots of the finished unit at curiousinventor.com, it is indeed the power switch.

    its the monster power switch.

    just a little rubber cap, but its cute, isn't it?

    we'll be releasing this sucker in various kit forms (for those with differing aesthetics) and fully built in the next week.
