If installing a front-panel you'll be installing something like the 20mm part listed below on it. Without it you can still use the same part, but the connector is just somewhere to plug the cable (at that point it is assumed you're building your own case and installing it somewhere on it). For neither option, you're looking at installing switches instead.
on the main pcb it says sw1 sw2 sw3 and sw4 are these option or a mistake ? and there is also j4 /in the asembly video you made you dont use these ,but there are on the bom list SW1-SW4 *2 6x6x5mm right-angle momentary button
Alternative ways of assembly, if front panel is not installed - switches for controlling it can be installed here instead. J4 was an option for earlier revisions, but I've not updated the faceplate for it (I don't know anyone who built that version of it, so probably won't get done).
You generally won't need those, one is a breakout for a serial adapter (a low cost alternative to using a somewhat cheap 5pin MIDI adapter. The other is a breakout for a MIDI-thru port, I've never had a use it for it as there are always other options.
I have not removed any comments, but it may have been caught in a spam-filter of some kind. When I did the redesign to have a dedicated front-panel, the power LED was moved here from the separate extras-module. This also moved the OLED to the middle instead of being on the left.
It is one of the ways of using on an old PC, an alternative is a soundcard with either 5-pin MIDI ports in a drive-bay expansion or via the gameport. By building up an extras board you can use it via 9-pin serial port. On a modern system you can use it with USB MIDI adapter.
I believe there are soundfonts available that'll approximate those, as to how accurate they are - you'd probably need to talk to someone with a better ear for such things than I have.
Great stuff! I have the previous version with the push buttons and i love it. Such versatile little device. Congrats
on your bom list it says ENC1 5-pin right angle pin header < that needs to be some kind of pot ,can you share the correct part thanks

on the pcb it says revision E

@@TEBLify can you link the part on ENC1 its not listed on the bom file thanks
iam ordering all the parts,question j5 and j6 are for external devices correct so its not realy needed ?

i just finished the gameblaster clone ,next thing to build is this bulkymidi
I didn't know a clone of one was available, I may have to look into building one for myself once winter rolls in 😀
@@TEBLify card works perfect
why are my comments being removed ? the pcb i bought looks difrent than the github picture the one on github has 2 extra leds

@@TEBLify so i think i have printed the correct pcb than revision E thanks ,🤓
to use your BulkyMIDI-32 i need this isa card ?

where do i get the midi pc card ?
does this bulky midi also emulate the roland cm 50/55 or mt 32 only ?
