Alright after seeing what the midibox seq can do I really want one. the live control is exactly what i need. But it looks very scary to build. I have minimal experiance building circuts and no experiance programing chips Basicly I have wired guitars, soldered some lose connections and made repairs and i have built a few oscilators on breadboards I know how to solder and I can kind of read schematics (and I mean KIND OF!!!) but that is pretty much it. I know I am in way over my head but I really want a midibox seq... I can work hard at it but I have minimal experiance. I thought about getting dopfer sequencer maq16/3 but this midibox looks much better. I will order all the kits so i think i can get the parts. but those boards looks so small to solder on. I am afraid i will mess up on those tiny boards and destroy them and be out my money without my new midibox. really all i have is a soldering iron from radioshack. Basicly what problems will I run into and how long will this take and will i succed in creating this awsome sequencer. Thanks to all for the help
