OK, I'm just about ready to order my kits - will do it tonight when I get home. I am going for: 1 * Core 1 * AIN 2 * DIN 1 * DOUT I'll connect my 2 pitch sliders to the AIN, and the LEDs to DOUT (I assume I can 'map' their behaviour somehow ? IE. go on / off when something happens) For DIN I think currently I only need 22 inputs: 1 for Pitch Button 1 for Pitch- 1 for Pitch+ 1 for Play 1 for Cue 4 for the Shuttle ring 2 for the encoder = 11 per side = 22 digital inputs But I think it would be better to get 2 DINS and wire up all buttons (total of 34 digital ins), and then they are available to me if I decide to use them. I'm dying to get started on this now .... :D JD

Many thanks for your answers - exactly what I wanted to hear :) Michael - you mention a bit of C programming ? Does this mean I need to flash a modified MIOS to the PIC ? If this is the case, does that mean that a) I can buy an unprogrammed PIC, and b) I need a PIC burner ?? Cheers JD

Hi, I am a DJ and am started to work with midi enabled DJ software like Traktor, Virtual DJ etc. I have just purchased a DJ style MIDI controller, but its cheap and rubbish so have decided to have a go at building one of my own :) I have 'aquired' ;) a broken pro DJ CD deck (Denon DN1800F): and want to use it as my controller My thinking is this is perfect for MB64 - or MB64 is perfect for it :) My plan is to build an MB64 and hook it up to the buttons and pots in the control unit. At the moment I am not planning on using the LCDs I think there are probably 10 buttons I want to use (Pitch, Pitch-, Pitch+, Play and Cue for each deck) - so I can get away with one DIN ? And I think there are 6 pots (Pitch slider, inner ring and outer ring for each deck) - so I can get away with one AIN ? So, am I right in thinking that the modules I need are: 1 * Core 1 * AIN 1 * DIN Is this right ?? Presumably if I wanted to wire up the LCDs at some later stage I can simply add the appropriate module ? And what does the DOUT module do for me ?? Thanks in advance, JD
