Hi, The project I'm looking to put together only requires a single rotary encoder, and a single push-button switch. Just wondering if I can skip the DIN module because I don't need to multiplex, and wire the encoder straight to CORE: J6, and the button straight to CORE: J9. I especially don't want to have to use two DIN modules just for two controls. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Oops, sorry ilmenator, I misspelled your tag in my last post, my apologies.

Hi Ilminator, Thanks. I've been reading through the material on the site (there's SOOO much of it!), and have started to realise how simply most of the modules can be scaled back. They really are quite elegant. I think I will start exactly as you have suggested, & just start with the full modules as a prototype before scaling back. Thanks! Greg.

Hi all, I'm new to the forum, hopefully I'm putting this question in the right spot. I'm looking to put together a pretty simple midibox, basically an x/y pad (with on/off), a hold button, two level controls, a patch/program control, and maybe an LCD to display the selected patch/program number. By my count, that's 4 level controls, two button controls, and one program control, so fairly simple compared to most of the projects on the site. I know I could put together something to achieve this with the modules on the site, however I intend to mount this in an instrument, not a box as the modules are intended, so I would like to keep it compact and the parts count low. If anyone is able to direct me to a simple project that would achieve my aim, or even just point me in the direction of an IC or circuit that could get me started, it would be much appreciated. I have a fair amount of analog circuit design experience, but none with digital. I'm pretty sure I could muddle my way through modifying a circuit to suit my needs, but I don't know where to start as I have not toyed with midi circuits before. Thanks in advance for any assistance that anyone is able to provide. Regards, Greg.
