huh, great. that box is almost completely the thing i am looking for, because it can control other synths and samplers, with look and feel of ableton live. and here is the thing that would make my dreams totally come true : this box.. with the ability sending a midi-signal that triggers a sample (eg. a loop from a connected sampler) BUT: not before the next bar is gained? i hope you know what i mean. its like the starting of clips in ableton live's session-mode, where they start right in-time with the next bar. so it will require a midi-clock to adjust the tempo (and able to send tempo to a slaved device) of course. would it be hard to realize building a box like this? if there a project that is similarly close to my visions, please let me know. thanks a lot, tibor

hello, thanks for the fast and helpful reply.. hm, primarily my intension was to build a device which is a more flexible one, eventually also for ableton live. is it difficult or even impossible to build a device in which you can change the midi-configuration (in my case: note-numbers) for the buttons? that does not have to be done with buttons on the interface at all costs, it would be also (but not that) nice to re-asign it by coding, finally, if it is not possible to implement this, then i have to reconsider my plans :)

hello, first o all, i am very happy to meet this forum, a long journey across www ended up here. nice. and here is the next question asked from a brandnew newbie. i am considering building a midi-controller to have a better handling with my sample-loop player (boss sp-505) with following features: #a clip-matrix like the session-view in ableton live (the next one, i know :)) with e.g. 4 buttons per row an 4 buttons per column (with leds) they don't have to do more than sending a midi-message to my sampler to start playing a sampleloop as soon as the next bar is gained. # a 5th column with buttons giving the signal to play all the samples in a row simultaniously. # a midi-clock (with the ability to send midiclock-message to a slave, e.g. my sampler) to adjust the tempo. # a fader to adjust the volume (per midi) of each column. # at last i maybe will need the possibility to alter the midi-message-data to trigger another synth (or ableton live) with it somedays. ..would be glad if it would be possible, and if yes: which modules do i need for this? thanks a lot, tibor
