Hello

when using a capacitor with the potentiometer, am I trying to match the RC circuit to 100Hz when 64 pots are being used or 6.4kHz? The manual wasn't specific about this either. I'm very interested in purchasing 4 brains for my upcoming project because of their ample analog inputs. I would love to see more specific diagrams in the manual too rather than just pin out addresses.

Thanks alot, hope to hear from you soon

Hello.

I'm planning on building 4 complex controllers soon. Your manual leaves alot of questions open about the button, and LED routing. In this video the track enable/disable switch act as latching on/off switches with the led corresponding in sequence. The clip launch buttons act as momentary triggers and receive feedback of the clip playing. How did you route and configure this? I can't find the answers in the manual nor can i figure it out playing with your software.

Thank you very much

@johanbest I would just use the specs from the Livid faders and buy some from mouser.com in a size that you want

[johanbest]

Sorry but those faders are a little bit big for my project. Solutions?
