MIDIbox16E - getting started questions

[guatamaham]

Okay,

I am certainly a newbie to all of this.  So I apologize if my questions are incredibly basic, uninteresting and uninformed.  But I'm having a hard time putting all of this together.  Is there a fundamental issue that I'm missing?

Because to me it seems as though the information for building a MIDIbox is sort of scattered throughout this site.  I'm not entirely sure what information I need, though; so I'm not even sure that I have all of it (after searching around a bit).

Is there a "how to get started for newbies" documentation somewhere?  That is, a step-by-step tutorial on building (not operating) a MIDIbox?  It would be nice if I just knew: what parts I need to build the box I'm interested in (and how to get them, if anything custom/special needs to be done), how to assemble these parts of mine into the modules and how to put the modules together to work.  Some of this information is on this site, but it's often in a global form (for all MIDIboxes) rather than localised to a specific box.

I would love to get started on this, I just have a lot of questions still; far too many of them to begin spending the money and time on this.

Again, I apologize if my questions are overly newbie :-)

Any help is appreciated....

Thanks!

Joe
