Five Alchemy Lab front panels arranged side by side: labeled Echoa, Spagyros, and Capicola panels, followed by unlabeled black and white panels

Alchemy Lab front panels are now available separately in the panel shop. The catalog includes Echoa, Spagyros, Capicola, and blank panels in black and white.

I built Alchemy Lab to run different instruments on the same hardware. Being able to change the firmware also means being able to change the labels: a time stretcher has different controls from a delay or a performance effects chain. You can now fit the panel for the instrument you're playing, or use an unlabeled panel for something you've built yourself.

Labeled controls and reversible artwork

The Echoa, Spagyros, and Capicola panels each have labeled controls on one side and a full illustration on the other. Echoa and Spagyros are black and gold; Capicola is black and silver. All panels are double-sided and reversible, so you can choose between the control reference and the artwork.

The blank panels retain the LED ring markings and the same physical layout, without firmware-specific control names. They suit custom Alchemy SDK instruments whose controls don't match one of the printed layouts, or anyone who prefers a less busy panel. Black uses gold accents, and white uses silver.

Pricing and orders

The first panel is $19.99, the second is $14.99, and every panel after that is $10.99. The discount applies across designs, and any three panels qualify for free US shipping.

Alchemy Lab still includes Echoa and Spagyros panels. If you add the module through the panel shop, every additional panel is $10.99, with free US shipping.
