Thanks for the quick reply Roger,
My project has to be done by the end of 2009, but I'd much rather understand the way I need to make the electronic part by the end of this week already. The thing with browsing the forum and ucapps is, that there is so much information that I tend to loose my way. Most of this information is irrelevant to me.
Though the MIDIbox64E has 8 buttons, it's a complicated thing with the rotary encoders and all. Perhaps I'm at the wrong place here, I just need to make some buttons that can be noticed by my computer.
Thanks!

Hey guys,
I am 17 years old and I live in Holland, and when we graduate high-school we're obliged to write something called a "Profielwerkstuk". It's a lot of work, and requires quite a bit of dedication. I chose my subject based on whether I'd enjoy putting effort in the result, and whether it'd be related to the Study I would like to do (Industrial Design). My choice of subject therefore was:
MIDI-controllers and ergonomy; how to adapt the current "box" design to make it more user-friendly.
What better place to ask for help than here?
I am a TOTAL beginner: I've never touched a chip, have never soldered anything (maybe some artsy stuff 5 years ago or so), and I've never really done anything with electronics.
Here's what I want to do:
a) Build the inside of a MIDI-controller: to be specific, I merely want 8 buttons that control 8 sounds on GarageBand (don't bash me for using GarageBand). Seriously, nothing more. Preferably with easy usb connection and having GarageBand recognize it as a MIDI-controller.
b)Design 3 cases that are different from the original box design, and develop one.
I basically need a lot of help.
Where do I start?
Where do I find information relevant to my idea (so no effects, no C64's, etc.)
If you have any advice at all, please tell me, I can use it.
Thanks in advance,
Hachiko

Hey Kris, thanks for the reply.
Thing is, as I said in my first post, I don't want any sliders or pots at all. Just 8 buttons that I can use to design the interface with.
This (I just found this) is pretty much all that I want. http://www.response-box.com/k4227.shtml
I fear that I might have come to the wrong place.
