Hi all
I dont know if anyone has already asked this but
What mbhp modules will i need to make
a mb 64 with bankstick lcd display.
I dont want to incorparate a sequencer or motor faders.
Thanx for your help. trouble x :-/
Hi there!
You need:
1 MBHP CORE
2 MBHP AIN(one card is 32 pots and two is 64)
1 MBHP DIN (depends how many buttons you needs, one din is 32 buttons, 2 MBHP is 64 buttons)
1 MBHP DOUT(depends how many leds you needs(see above))
1 MBHP LTC (If you want MIDI active leds. I think that it is necessary ;D for the great design of the box) And its also an MIDI interface with the MAX chip… I dont have that)
Good luck!

Hi there,
There are some schematics on the site that help explain the different modules.
This is one:

Some clarification:
AIN4 = a module with 4 ICs, each handling 8 analog inputs (for potentiometers)
If you want 64 pots (or faders), you will need two of these modules.
DIN4 = same thing, it gives you 32 digital inputs (for pushbuttons, necessary if you want to control the menus on the LCD)
DOUT4 = 32 outputs per module, for LEDs (indicate when a button is pushed, or wether or not a button is active when in toggle mode, or status of an incoming midi event…)
You will need a Core module with the MidiBox64 firmware and an LCD display (not required, but mighty funky…).
Backstick modules do not require a seperate PCB, it’s just an EEPROM connected directly to the Core module (see bankstick pages).
Read the MBHP, MidiBox64 and Q&A pages, there are a lot of tips and info in there. If you had little experience with electronics (like me…) it takes a while and you’ll have to read everything a couple of times to figure things out, but it’s really addictive stuff once you get into it, be warned! 
cheers!
thanx for the info guy’s
much appriciated.
