have you got any images of your current progress in planing it?

what chip are you going to use? midibox? or code it your self?

i was thinking on an old keyboard controler
and assign shortcuts to the buttons

but if you know a simple midibox controller tell me....

here is a link http://www.ucapps.de/

its apparently very easy to do, all you have to have is some soldiering skills and time, and however much you want to spend is up to your needs etc.

nice one

what functions do you want or need?

do you only want sliders? or do you want buttons as well?
