SV: [sdiy] midi controller DIY'ing

[Andreas H]

Hi.

I would suggest you have a look at Wave Idea's
Bit Stream DIY controller.
Allthough they just removed it from there web page
http://www.waveidea.com/english/index.htm
I have the .hex file and schematics though if it might
be something. Believe it had 40 pots and 8 switches
for midi controllers. It also featured a MC-303 MIDI
interface for controlling the sad MC-303.
