Hi

I love the idea of these DIY MIDI boxes. I want to make one for live performances, but since my hands are occupied when I play guitar, I need to make some sort of foot pedal. I was thinking of 8 or 16 on/off buttons to trigger loops in ableton live and/or other programs.

I don't have much experience in building hardware - does anyone know if this is possible, or realistic?

thanks!

Sure, this is realistic. You could use the MIDIO128 with just a single DINX1 or DINX2 module for 8 or 16 buttons. This would come to about 25 EUR (w/o case, buttons & JDM PIC programmer). Or - if ableton reacts on program changes - this cheaper circuit could be interesting for you: http://www.ucapps.de/floorboard.html

Best Regards, Thorsten.
