But I guess making a custom controller for LSDJ/Nanoloop also could make sense too (hell, animal style did it with a foot controller too)

LSDJ Slave Mode Midi Note Effects:

    48 - C-2 Sends a Sequencer Start Command
    49 - C#2 Sends a Sequencer Stop Command
    50 - D-2 Toggles Normal Tempo
    51 - D#2 Toggles 1/2 Tempo
    52 - E-2 Toggles 1/4 Tempo
    53 - F-2 Toggles 1/8 Tempo

This is a nice project I have an idea for nanoloop. Use the pads for every steps in Nanoloop and add 2 sliders to edit the note you pressed (pitch and octave if you are in the notes and etc...)
If you cant access the dpad and buttons like start or select add it (make small buttons like the mpc !)
oh btw...Square buttons please, less chances to miss the pads...and I'm more used to these !!! (I'm a MPC user)

I'm so glad someone else understands that 16 pad square sexiness...lol. Your idea is awesome with the pads corresponding to Nanoloops steps. Can even do that without having to do it in Nanoloop's code?

This is geared towards having multiple units running Nanoloop at the same time in a DJ setting with a mixer in between or to the side. LSDJ doesn't have L-R Trigs so some DMGs on a table  and LSDJ are probably more efficient, unless you want to poke buttons.

That being said, Nanoloop 2+ does use the trigs. So there was a need to abstract those buttons up front. Then, the buttons are all small if your doing something like Kodek's Techno workout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW4BZ6nasDg

GBA problems to solve. RCA/headphone out, trigs, form factor, pressing buttons from standing position, sliding around on the table.

Is it necessary? Probably not. Fun? Oh, yeah. I just wanted to share. I'll probably be making 4 for myself and calling it quits, unless anyone else really wants one. After that it may just go into open source. I've been pricing parts, and it's not cheap.

I've seen a few 3.5 pro-sound cables pop out of DMGs on-stage during gigs. That alone would be a decent reason for something like this to be created.  I don't think it changes the way you make music thou.. DMG's are fine for that.

GB's are in, Nanoloop carts are en route, and ordering arcade buttons shortly. Next step is a wood/cardboard prototype, then finally an acrylic V1.

There are six button functions still free so if anyone has ideas, please share. Oh, and if anyone can comment on circle vs square arcade buttons, I'm all ears as I haven't had time on the square ones.
