 +  * One thing I reckon you shouldn'​t do is expect to have something done quickly. Sure there is a good chance it may happen first time but also just as likely there will have to be some sort of troubleshooting. With this being said, it would be wise to go through the entire links of the [[http://​www.midibox.org/​dokuwiki/​doku.php|Midibox.org]] page. I say this because when you are on the verge of completing something, the last thing you want to do is spend days sifting through info so you end up doing what I have done and jumping on the forum and asking silly questions. So expect slow turtle and do the reading now. Know that there is a lot of reading and learning to do....mmmm conversely there also needs to be a balance between reading and doing. So perhaps do what you can but if you can't do, expect to read for days/weeks.
