    I need this in my life and studio. Can it play Conway’s game of Life as a screensaver?

    That's a great plan, J! :) Game of Life should be doable! Every MatriX customer gets a free wish! ;-) Necessary restrictions in the small print: only code work, only if it can be done in reasonable time and only if others would enjoy it as well.

    A minesweeper clone (imagine that, with physical mechanical keyboard buttons!) was also requested and i am really tempted! :)

    Many greets,

  2. Thanks, @monokinetic and @Phatline!

    The display will be a full-RGB OLED, that is similar to the 1306, but larger and in full color, so, this will give us the colorspace for e.g. an exact graphical representation of the state of all BLM keys, and of course quite a few more things :).

    The navigator joystick and the yet invisible X/Y sliders below the joystick in this photo can be used for transmitting CC data in the normal SEQ v4+ BLM context and will be used for advanced clip editing features when connected to a LoopA! :)

    Have a good weekend and best regards!

    This looks amazing.

    Thanks, man! :cheers:

    Working on the corresponding video build tutorial now, which will cover everything (including set-up and calibration).

    These modules should also work fine with your SEQ v4, if you have a line driver (transmitter) board with a DB25 output connector installed.

    Have fun and many greets!

  4. Hi Bruno,

    Thanks!

    It was a design choice - we have multiple m2 inner "sandwich" screws which could have been used, but then there would have been holes in the precious frontpanel :). In general, it is stable enough, only minimal "bulge" at the middle. The inner PCB sandwich is fixed to the bottom acrylic plate with 7 m2 screws, so it stays in place firmly, no wobble when pushing in "tight" midi cables for example - the vertical walls next to the screws are necessary to avoid "overtightening" and bulge of the middle part, correct - but in general, as the unit is very small (only about 20cm horizontally from screw hole to screwhole) methinks it is sufficiently stable, as long as the inner sandwich is constructed to specs (max 32mm inner height).

    Many greets,
    Peter

  5. Thanks! :-)
    Yes, pedals (not yet supported in the current software) should be quite easily mappable to different functions like "arm" or "run/stop".
    The tilted orientation of the unit is of course optional, you can just remove the spacer and it sits flat on the table! But the rubber feet (Reichelt GF 2) will really hold it in place on various synths or if the stage is shaking :)

    Many greets! Peter
