He  I am an artist, live in Holland and want to control 60 VHS videorecorders using MIDI another project is to control 16 or more claxons.  I want to make simple trancistorswitches across the normal switches >>, <<, play, rec,tape in and darlington for the claxons  I was thinking to use the midio128 and start with the claxons.  my question: what do I need I want to use a simple keyboard to put the data in and a sequenser to controle the setup Do I have to program the pic myself?  more questions will arive Peter
