Here you can see the chassis prior to mounting the controls. The plexiglass panels are still a little rough around the edges. Once these are softned out a little bit, a led in the center of the panel illuminates and causes the whole panel edge to light up.
There are 116 holes in the front panel in total. Next week I will be working on the inside of the faceplate, installing buttons and wiring up the knobs.

No, its custom built throughout. It sends combinations of midi notes and controller changes to max/msp, to toggle slicers and effects and routings on and off. At least, it might, if it works.

A hardware sequencer for max/msp, eh? Sounds like a cool idea -- hope it works!

A tutorial or extra braincell for learning and working in max/msp for people like me, eh? Sounds like a cool idea -- hope it works!

So far it mostly works, yeah I havn't got much happening in max/msp yet, at the momentthe hardware sends controller msgs and a variety of note on/off messages and has pattern banks I can switch, so it is working as a 'regular' step sequencer already. The crossfader and EQ controls also work. However, the advance cool stuff like sample mashup features, and machinedrum-style parameter lock and recording will come later. I need to get the control surface properly built before I can really start to play with it as a musican instrument. That's when I'll see how the workflow is developing, and code the max/msp stuff along with the hardware control.
