Hello Midiboxers,
Im completly new tho this forum as i found this page a few days ago, but i was overwelmed by te idea from building my own personally customed midisequenzer...
Just love this project, as I'm an convinced DIY'er.
So I'm still in reading all te info out there, but already got a few questions, as I'm not too deep into programming and IC's...
I already got a roland sx404 Sampler i would like to control in step sequenzer style, so i would need just a midi out to do this, i guess a single gm5 usb module would do this job perfectly.
Also I'm owner of a edirol pcr300 midi keyboard controller, which comes already with Knobs, sliders and buttons, so i thought i could inicially use this to send the messages to the sequenzer... this would reduce the inicial pricing and layouting pretty much (although i would like to upgrade in future...)
So I guess i could start very fine with just some small enclosure and a few buttons and a display just to change internal values like banks, patterns and so on.
I think one AIN module and one DIN module would do this job...
Now I Come to the questions those answers i couldn't make out yet, firstly and most important one, should i use pic 16 or stm 32? Ive seen these 808 project what is the way i want to go, could it also be done on a 32 bit board? Or is 16bit enough?
I also own some motorola A920 cellphone with touchscreen I dont use since years but still working fine, my question is , is there any way to implant this touchscreen in a midibox?¿? This would allow me to make changes in the sytem without the need of knobs and buttons and would be pretty awsome!!!!
Hope to find some answers so i could start as i cant wait to get on work with this heavenly project...
BR
