hey i hope anybody is german here!!!
i´m a newbie by midicontroller and also in english 
i will build my own midicontroller, but i dont known how i do it.
here is a little picture for u, to see a little bit of my idee
First: WELCOME TO THE BOARD! ;D
Second: Yup, there are kinda many people from Germany here, so you can also post your questions in german in the other thread (“Detusch” is the topic - rather at the end of the forum main page). Especially TK (MASTER OF MIDI) is coming from Germany, too (to be exact Munich).
Third: Ooooooookaaaaaaayyyyyy, nice picture… eeeeerrr… and so? What’s your questions? What is the controller for (pretty most important to judge about a design)? Black circles = buttons?
Fourth: To get first impressions what can be done and what not pls surf the Midibox gallery (on the ucapps.de page) and MOST IMPORTANT the Wiki (there are Newbie guides, too - the introduction is even written by me… *proud* 
)
Greetz! 
so und nun nochmal auf deutsch ;D
so und nun nochmal auf deutsch ;D
Aber nicht hier - dafür gibt es die Rubrik “Deutsch”.
English: If you can´t speak English, please post your questions in the German forum - in the last months there were a few topics being hijacked into German in the international forum sections. I find that kind of impolite.
