Pls see: http://www.musiciansgig.com/remote/remote.pdf Can this be built using a CORE and some DIN, DOUT, AIN modules using the Mackie HUI/control protocol? I am concerned it may not be possible to switch 3 banks at a time, do the time display and jog/shuttle? I would love to build something like this for my studio. I miss having my old 2" tape Ampex Remote (http://www.musiciansgig.com/remote/ampexremote.jpg), and I think it would be very beneficial to my sessions to be able to turn off the screen, focus on the music and just use this remote to track. Also, I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron, but have no experience programming firmware. Any programming experts want to write the program for this box? I'll pay ;D!! Pls email me at martin_adriaanse(at)yahoo(dot)com if you're interested in collaborating on this project. Many Thanks, M.
