Hi everyone, There is some time that i'm planning to do this project, and i read a lot of things about it on internet. Here is what i want (the red box) I want to build a rackable unit system that enable/disable loops depending on witch midi message it receive. But more than switching, i want the loops to be set in series or in parallels, and to be able to control each volume level : Here is one product that is doing almost that (but it cost 2300$ :shocked: ): Soundsculpture switchblade I have enough skill in almost everything i need for doing this(programming, midi knowledge, assembling...), except the nearly most important one : i don't know what components/hardware to use and how to choose them... So here comes my firs question, what should i use , a microcontrolleur is enough ? witch one? use a matrix ? how to get the electrical board i need (sorry i don't know how to say it), etc etc. Thanks for helping ! :thumbsup: I'll update my post with the list of components, some pictures, software, links an explanations about how to do this as soon as i will know it. Because i'm sure there is a lot who will be interest by this ! Sorry for my bad English, i tried to make it as clear as possible.... ----------------------------- LIST ----------------------------- Links Hardware : Front Panel Designer Rack Unit Cases Similar products : Soundsculpture switchblade RockTron Patchmateloop8 Voodoo GCX Resources : http://www.ucapps.de/ http://www.gmarts.org/html/mfc.htm http://www.audiomulch.com/midipic/ and many others....
