As a beginner, should i try to build a LC ?
Or should i stick to a 64?
I want to control ableton.
Motorfaders would be sweet. 
Dear Benjamin
We can t decide for you!
Usually people build their own MIDI controller cause they want to have their own design.
The best advice i can give you is:
build a CORE with a DIN and a DOUT, hook up some buttons and leds, then load MB64, MB64E, MBLC, maybe a C skeleton and make your own app, pretty soon you ll figure out what suites best your needs

Thanks, I did not know things could be this changeable.
âŚI did not knowâŚ
That only leaves you with one option: Go read! Now. Go do it ;D
ok i think i just found one
Yes, as a beginner you can make a midibox that has pots, motorfaders, encoders, LCDs, LEDs, joysticks, logic control, etc. You just need to be willing to read, learn, try, fail, read, learn, try again and spend lots of time and cash - being a little crazy helps. Everything will be just fine.
LOL!
being a little crazy helps.
No, it doesnât help ⌠itâs a MUST !!

i just found the thread i had overlooked http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,3650.0.html
from seppoman
"Build the core module and connect the LCD - after some soldering practice this should be possible in max. one week of your schedule. So after some weeks you can get the first feelings of success and start exploring what is possible and what is needed. This is the real fun Smiley
Just try not to think about too many things at once and everything will clear up with time. Perhaps Thorsten should put a âdonĂ´t panicâ sign on the home page like on the cover of HitchhikerĂ´s Guide to the Galaxy Wink"
Hello Bejamin!
Did you read everything here: Ucapps?
There is soo much information available, and many times stuff just keeps bluring up.
Personally i miss vital information all the time.
Either way, if you check through this page, youâll see how modular the Mb64 is.
example 1 micro
example 2 mega
Knowledge is power, and as stated above..being crazy is a must! 8)
example 2 mega
So lets say i want to add a bunch of faders or even more leds or some joysticks or a toaster oven to this config?
Is that where i get into adding another core?
It`s not just core. And you cannot add a bunch of faders in LC. You can have just 8. You are missing some basic knowledge about MBHP, so it is better start reading or people will simply start ignoring these kind of questions.
Ok no more questions

Hehe, thatâs not the point - you are more than welcome to ask questions, just try to find the answer yourself before you post
