I did some price checking and this LCD 16x2 is going to cost us around 27 Euros.
If I decide not to make MIDIBOX with LCD and use firmware with default enabled COM option, what will happen to 4 menu buttons? Are they going to be useless?
The price for the LCD seems really high… i got one (16x2 without backlight) for 15.50 euros in an electronics shop.
However, if you don’t use the LCD, 3 of the 4 menu buttons will be useless (i guess you could keep the snapshot button).
cheers mate
just BTW:
…sometimes it’s helpful to work with the LCD-Display - or do you never need any bank (24256 eeprom) information? - or the state (values) of the MB64 Pots/MB64-Sequencer?

Hm… we actually need midibox just for DJing purposes, but it can be useful for other friends who are working with Reason. I don’t know actually what are the all features of MIDIBox 64, so I can’t tell…:-/ if we need it. Definately we are not going to build banksticks.
I could add an (software) option into the SysEx dump structure which disables the menu buttons and assigs them to MIDI controllers.

That would be great, thanks
