Thanks for the reply nILS. I got the mockup for the panel ready. Here's a picture, and below, some explaining of what they mean :) From top to bottom: Brown(ish) circle: Larger rotary pot (that i'll probably use for main software output) Pink rectangle: Off/on switch Orange rectangle: Display 16 Dark grey rotary pots (mapped for eqs and stuff) Red: 16 Buttons (that i'll map to trigger samples, etc) Green: Mute/Un-mute buttons Blue: LEDs (one will be on while green button is down/one will be on while green button is up) - 2 colors for LEDs Grey Vertical lines are the faders. But im sure you figured that out by now :) You asked something about potentiometers/encoders. I think i want potentiometers. They are able to send MIDI data, right? I dont know what encoders are... could you please explain? It's not the most original deisgn, i know... but it suits my workflow :) Oh, and the power supply too

Back once again.. So, here's what i want to build.. A controller with 4 faders, 17 rotary pots, 20 buttons (4 of them like push to mute/un-mute for example, and the rest simple ones), 8 LEDs for mute/un-mute, (not sure about this yet) one display, and one off/on button Please help me with parts list... here's what i figured out so far: 1 Core Module 2 AIN Modules 2 DIN Modules 1 DOUT Module --------------- 4 Faders 17 Rotary Pots 21 Buttons 8 LEDs 1 Display (maybe!) ------------------------ Is this list correct? Do I need anything else? Except for the case obviously :) Thanks

Great! I guess i should start reading then. Thanks a lot for the fast reply.

Hello, I was thinking about building one since the 1st time i found ucapps about 6 months ago, but due to lack of time/money i postponed this. But starting next month, i want to build one... i only have some (noob) questions for you guys. I want to build something similar to this one: Forum Link: Complete pic: http://www.alphazone1.com/midibox/midibox-complete1.jpg What kind of rotary pots, sliders, buttons and LED's do i need? I saw a big list on Farnell and I got confused. What other things do i need ? What is the cheapest place to buy them from? And.. could anyone tell me (from their own experience)the total amount of money needed for a MidiBox 64? Thanks.
