Hello everybody, sorry for opening a new topic about this. Maybe i should be PMing TK but i thought that everybody may give me an idea about this. My previous topic was about the old old firmwares I wanted old firmwares because i wanted to build a small live instrument dedicated for only one thing at a time. Having lots of faders knobs and buttons -ok- looks cool but sometimes you need -and use- only few of them at a time. So why carry all the others, and also remembering what was what on stage may sometimes be really hard you may be saying, "if you are that stupid, don't bother building a midi device for yourself go and buy one" but i don't feel that way, and i believe that having a customized controller may take ones creativity to very very different levels. i like using ableton live as a really complicated sampler with an effects unit and at a song i use approximately 8 - 10 different triggered loops (both vertical and hortizonal way) so i thought that building a midibox plus would do fine for me ( if i pre assign the different layers of buttons for different clips-loops everything else). It would be like "a layer for a song". But there comes the problem I want to use some knobs as well and some of them should do the same job for the entire set (like master volume send effects parameters and things like that) First of all i would like to ask you all; Would this be possible? I guess one of the main problems -as stated above- would be the layer problems with the faders. Only hex files are left on the site so i cannot see the source (even if i saw, i am sure i wouldn't be able to change it to a new -working- version:) ). The real question is this i guess is it possible to have a device which has 8 layered buttons and 8 (or 16) non-layered faders ? in my opinion midibox plus can do the job with a firmware change. I didn't want to disturb TK because i read that he was a really busy man. So can you give me your opinions about this live performance tool concept at least ?? (also if you have the source code for the midibox plus, it would be great too:)) ) thanks -at least for reading
