My MIDIBox 64 was based on the excellent project by Thorsten Klose found at www.ucapps.de. I took interest in the project in it's early days, but when the 64 pot version was launched I decided it was time to build one myself. When I first started out I had no knowledge of electronics what so ever, but my box ended up exactly as I wanted! And if I can do it, so can you! As long as you've got some basic practical skills and some patience it'll be a breeze! Just follow the 10 steps in this walktrough and you'll end up with your very own MIDIBox 64!
