This is a sneak preview of the upcoming MIDIbox SEQ V4 Lite, a new project which I'm developing together with Christian aka. CD 
 
Picture of the prototype (built by Christian): 
 
 
We are planning to create a PCB for the button/LED matrix, and a Ponoko-like case! :) 
 
Feature list: 
  minimalized user interface without LCD. Buttons and LEDs are directly connected to the MBHP_CORE_LPC17 module (no DIN/DOUT modules required)   64 LEDs and 48 buttons   reduced feature set, optimized for live/ste
	
			 
		 
		
			TK. asked me to rework the PCB, so after a bit of down time on a delayed train:
 
	 
	 
 
		It's the same basic layout as before, except that the shift registers are on board. This means only a single ribbon connector to the Core is needed = easy wiring.
		
				or could we feature-creep an LCD/OLED in?
			 
		 
	
		Accordingly there are some pullup/current limiting resistors added, but the 595 should be able to sink the cathode rows without transistors.
