Along with putting together the third batch of kits, Doug is working on several case options. The first run is going to be the front and back panels with a wooden case. After that batch is complete, we'll be working on the 909 voice expansion and the mixer/effects add-on panels.
Site upgrades: I'm working on a new web page and will be upgrading the forum to a newer version of PHPBB. There will be a new build area on the main web page that includes everything you'll need to assemble your MB-808 kit, including a single document that you can download. No more keeping your web browser open to three places while you put this thing together!

I put this page together as a favor for Moogah, since he's done us all the favor of making the MB-808 in the first place! If you have any comments or questions about this page, please contact me via email at doug (at) midibox addict (dot) com
