I am designing a midibox 64 for live use, 
does anyone have any good front panel designs for that kind of use???. (or any ideas)
I can’t wait to get my pay check so I can gett the components. ;D
Live use … as in DJ’ing ? I would say design it similar to a mixer then, that’s what i’m going to create mine for (except the live part … hehe)
Ie Crossfader, master volumes, gain, treble, mid, bass, kill buttons etc …
yeah kind of like djing, i kind of want a minimal very simple easy to use design. 
what program are you going to use it with ? and how many features from that program do you want the box to do ?
umm…
trigger samples on a software
and controll a few functions, maybe with faders?
mmmkay … so you’ll want enough buttons for all the samples you wanna play …
not sure what you will want the faders for though … can you give a little more detail about the program ? or maybe a website about the program ? would make it easier to give a recommendation on what you should have (although totally negotiable for your own use)
Buzz Tracker
RRR … didn’t really help :-/
Analyse the program, look at the things you want your panel to do on the program, if the program uses a button to trigger, use a button on your panel, if it has a knob, use a knob, fader … you get the picture I think …
I’m not really sure if I have helped, or confused you more hehe …
i’ll post a picture in a couple of hours of my midibox design, and a picture of the program i’m hopefully going to make it for, so you can see how I want my box design, and maybe apply the same process to your design.
danku ;D
kindof makes sense, maybe i should think before i post :-X
Why don’t you have a look at Ableton Live (v2…)
This program rocks when it comes to live usage. It’s made for live usage. Almost all functions can be used in realtime, even in-sync sample loading during performance, realtime timestretch and lots more! Lots of assignable functions for midi controlling!!
And as i remeber, someone is already building an interface for ableton Live, so you can ask construction/design/layout question to the appropiate person.
Hey supra! I wouldn’t know for the box as I haven’t build mine yet but I thought you might be interested in this software: http://psycle.pastnotecut.org
Xcen I downloaded psycle I’m going to try it with my current midi setup, but I’m still kind of a BUZZ fan.
Nomical I looked at ableton, it’s cool, but i can’t afford it just yet 
. I’ll still look at the layouts for it maybe i can get some ideas
No prob there supra… I was using scream-style trackers for a while when I grew tired of modplug… I stumbled accross Buzz but felt it was a little complicated for no “good” reason… then I found psycle and thought it was really great so I’m spreading the word 
I’ve tried psycle now, it’s cool, but needs more “good” plugins,(I also wish i could use BUZZ plugins and songs, maybe i’ll write a plugin for psycle that does that…)
don’t forget it is VST compatible
is that vst compatibility inherent in the software, now that’s a reason to switch
Not sure I understand your question as my primary language is french…
if you’re asking wether or not it is built in the core of the program, then the answer is yes…
Sorry I took so long to get back to you, anyway, my midibox design will be based on mixvibes pro, an mp3
mixing program, so my box will be similar to a DJ mixer…
I couldn’t be bothered putting numbers for both channels, but you get the general idea I about designing your box to suit the needs of the application I hope …
Sorry for the size of the picture … Â :-/
And those wanting a picture of my box design without those numbers … Â ;D
With regards to LIVE2.
I use this program live. Only I trigger it with my drum kit.
I will be building a control surface for it.
You can download the demo of this product…that’s what sold me on it.
Steinberg now have the rights to this program or something and they sell a cut down version for around $30. This has an upgrade path to version 2.
Just remember that with a bankstick you can change what your buttons do in a flash. This way you can keep your trigger button number to a reasonable level and still have 16 banks of trigger values. ie 12 buttons x 16 bankstick positions…you do the math 
Later
