Reply to MIDI Controller Shield for Arduino

I've been working on a shield for an arduino mega that would simply plug into the arduino and give you the folllowing layout options: 4 led push buttons (purchased from Livid Instruments), Either 4 vertical sliders OR 2 vertical sliders with 6 potentiometers, and 4 encoders with indicator led (3mm or SMD). Additionally, the bottom of the PCB would have pin hearders to break out an additional 30 digital I/Os (4 PWM) and 6 analog. The idea is that you can easily plug a 4x4 arcade button group (ie midifighter) into the board and have a nice customizable controller thats easy to solder and avoids using multiplexing chips. I have yet to get some boards made and would like to gauge interest. Thanks.
