I would like to know muchmore about this console!!! :) :D

nice idea, i might do something in the future using a paging scheme... But I like my consoles to be bulky and full of buttons and pots and faders! here is an image of what i'm going to do: Now the small lower space is for a ball mouse / touch pad (depending on what i decide), but the top bigger space.. i'm not sure what to put there, i was thinking about having a drum pad like the "M-Audio Trigger Fingers", but idea's welcome for that part.

On each channel i have (in order): Gain Hi Freq Lo Freq Hi Mid Lo Pan Volume (fader) Basically, I hate using a mouse with music software. I would feel much more in control if i had a "replica" of a proper studio mixing console.

A paging scheme? how would that help?

sorry id my frst post ws a bit vaigue, i was knackared and posted juat just before i went to sleep. (UK - London here) Hi Max, i've done alot of research on it to the extent i'm thinking abot it 24/7 now... it's taken over my life!! haha. I've already got the designs for the panel. I understand that each core can handle 128 Digital In's, 128 Digital Out's, and 64 Analogue In's, and 64 Analogue Outs. So working on that basis, 200 pots will need 4 cores, 244 buttons on their own would need 2 cores. Also, I would need 7 Analogue In Cards, and 8 Digital In Cards = 4 cores needed if i'm correct. I would have this broken down to 2 analogue in's and 2 digital in's per core, with the 4th core with only 1 analogue in's and 2 digital in's. I understand that. Now.... I found a PDF schematic of the BLM with Dual LED's (red / green). Is it just a matter of NOT connecting the RED ones if all I want is a light to come ON and stay ON when I activate the function on the computer (press the button), then to turn off when I press the button again? I'm not asking for people to do hours and hours of research for me :P, i just can't find ANYTHING on VU meters, or anything explaining in simple english a BLM. :S Even just a couple of schematic's for me to work with? I will be doing a running blog of the build from scratch. And although this may be my 1st build, I'm gonna be using this for years to come. Thanks people :D

Hi guys, my 1st post on here... and i've just got my head around the general MIDI setup of things! :D My main question.... I have found a couple of schematics on this forum / website for dual coloured Button Light Matrix's, I'm after a single colour BLM. My project incorporates: 200 Pots 244 buttons (push to make contact - momentary switch) ...and I want every button to illuminate and stay on when I let go untill I press it again for it to deluminate, or in the case of some of the buttons, i press one of two buttons, for it to turn the other off and illuminate it's self (Dutton 1 is on, button 2 os off. I then press button 2, button 2 illuminates, and button 1 turns off. And the same like wise.) they are gonan be coloured buttons so i only need the 1 colour (clear) in each button. 2nd Question: I would also like a STEREO VU meter on each channel, is there any other way of doing this other than getting a HUGE I/O setup with the comp? How do i achieve this? Forgive me.. i'm a bit of a noob :o) Many thanks all!!
