I'm working on a design for a customized Midi controller specifficaly for VJs. I want to be able to control effects for multiple (3-4) "layers". With 35 buttons per layer and another 35 overall buttons I go well over the current max of 128. Especially when there's also a couple of jogs and (motor)faders planned in the design. In hardware it's possible. I don't know if there's any change necessary in the software to handle double the number of buttons.

I was looking into a way of connecting upto 256 buttons to a single DINX4 module. Instead of connecting a button to each pin one could arrange the buttons in a 16 row x 16 column matrix. Is it possible to adapt the code in such a way that the button matrix gets read faster? I think a 1ms latency would suffice if the buttons are pressed after eachother, but a lower latency would be desirable in this case. Herman Zap25
