thanks again for your answers. being a total noob, i still got to figure out what components i need. so i think the code will come even later. but anyway, i won't forget you when time will come! do you guys have a rough idea of the budget for such a thing? am i right assuming it will be <50$?

thanx for your answer the idea is to design a LED matrix with each LED being independant. i would put them on a board that would be attached to the lid of my laptop and that would display stuff while i am playing gigs (drawings, random stuff, synched flashes...). that's mostly a "lappy pimp" thing :) i feel like it shouldn't be too difficult to do. you can see it as a 8x8 (actually 7x7 might be better) controller with buttons that light up, but without the buttons, just the lights. and without midi out.

hi all i'm new to this forum. i'd like to design a simple (or so do i think) display device. the aim is to have an array of LEDs (i think 8x8 is a max), that would react to midi note on messages. ie C3 would light up LED1, D3 LED2 and so on. i don't want buttons or knobs or anthing, it's just a display thing. it would be even better if the LEDs were multicolored and would have a different colour depending on note velocity. is midibox the proper tool to achieve that, and could you please direct me to some threads/sites where i could get the basics (or even better, get me started)? thanks all!

in Live 6 session view, you can click on the "pie" that's displayed above the mixer for each track, the display will jump to the clip's content straight on. i think that's what you're looking for.
