Alright, i got it.

A question i didn't find in the forum is about the LED meters. Does their sensitivity, or better measure scale, depend on the DAW software?

Or could one could roughly say, for example the fourth of 12 LEDs corresponds to a level about -12 dB or something? I read that the 12th LED correlates somewhat to clipping-- i guess that works in every host, since they all speak in the logic/mackie control protocol. Right?

I would forget about LED meters on your place. If you just like the moving lights than it is OK, if you want metering it is useless.

i understand. thank you!

another question: can i just connect the first LED pin to a LED to have something like a signal indicator (the LED lights up when a signal is present), and the 12th pin to another LED to get a clip indicator? or do i have to connect the whole dozen to get a closed circuit?

sorry for asking, it's just not that clear neither in the wiki nor here in the forum.

Yes, you can do it. No need to connect all the LEDs.

@sasa:  hvala!

alright, since i just can't resist using more LEDs for the meters, it will be six of them. I thought about connecting the LEDs like this:

|*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*|
1st  4th    6th  8th  10th  12th

So I have the two outer areas for sure: minimal signal and clipping.

Hey TK, may I ask what the small IC with 8 trimpots inside your MBLC is? Visible on this pic: http://www.midibox.o..._photos/27.html

I guess it is that individual voltage adjustment for each motorfader. Is it helpful for every MBLC or just if the motorfaders behave unusually?

Thank You for the great MIOS vision,

Seba
