  1. The programming side of things I have no idea of, but as for having an encoder or buttons for bank up/down, i'd recommend a pair of buttons if it's going to be on the floor - it means you don't have to bend down to the floor to change your presets when you're playing live.

  2. If your new fans give you a fair amount of airflow over the mainboard, I'd still recommend looking at zalman - if the CPU's not a really hot one you can get a copper heatsink that should cool things real quietly. Or, you could try getting a larger CPU fan, like an 80 or 120mm if there's space - you can get wide, flat heatsinks that'll let you fit a big fan. The idea there is that a large fan can shift the same amount of air as a smaller one, while spinning slower so it produces less heat.

  3. so far i've read nothing about vista that makes it seem necessary to have.  you can still get away with a 1ghz processor (as long as there's at least 512mb memory) and xp.  xp runs stable and it's a familiar system.

    1ghz and 512MB? that's way more than you need - we've got some machines here running it on a P2-400 with 256MB! Not very well, mind you...

  4. Watercooling isn't always as quiet as people seem to think. You might not have any fans any more, but some of those water pumps are pretty loud. Your best bet I'd reckon is to look at some of the stuff Zalman make - be warned tho, if you passively cool your processor you'll need a lot of airflow across the heatsink, which may mean you have to keep the noisy fans on the sides anyway  :'(

  5. When I get round to doing my frontpanel, I'll be using the stuff at my dad's metalworking business. Cost: 1 sausage & egg sandwich.

    I seem to remember seeing a thing like a table that had handles on the end that would allow you to move the table along the X and Y axis by moving them... Kinda like working a giant etch-a-sketch heheh

    The closest thing I can think of is an X/Y milling table

  6. So I could look for some LCD panels that are the same size/mounting as the current LED panels - if I got 2 (one for each side) would I need 2 LCD modules ?

    The LCD display is controlled directly by the Core. There is no specific LCD module - all the controller circuitry for the display (driver chips etc) on the board that the LCDs are attached to. To my knowledge, the only MIOS app that can control 2 LCDs (definitely the only one I've seen do it) is the MIDIbox LC - though if I'm mistaken, feel free to correct me.

    Hope this helps.

  7. The only time I found references to the MIDIbox NG it was used also referred to as the LC, could the two be the same? I can't find any references to how many AINs the LC can handle when you're not using motorfaders, at least in the time I have available at work while my boss is out of the office...
