i am not sure how lcd’s work but if i understand correctly it has all the different character signs written in it’s memory - horizontal and this it’s not possible to make them vertical?
please correct me if i’m wrong - this would actually change my midibox layout quite drastically 
… depends on what kind of LCD
Graphical: Yes http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=midibox_uc
Character: No (you don’t want short but fat characters… right? - You would get characters 7 Dots wide and 5 Dots high)
Greats, Roger
okay - there was this idea add a big 4x40 lcd screen to my box, vertical on the left of all my potentiometers.
graphical displays won’t be a good idea in this case.
i guess i’ll have to use multiple small screens.
is it actually possible to use two T6963C screens on one midibox, like it’s possible with character lcd’s?
the thing is that i need just a solution for my new midibox projekt that would allow me to have a screen on the left of my box which will ha 21 cm length and coul display about 4 characters in a row.
For each GLCD you will need one PIC. See e.g. the MIDIbox UC in the Wiki.

ah i guess i’ll try the solution with multiple small screens if i find any free pins on my pic :>
