Reply to Multiplexers and the Midi Fighter. . .

Hey guys. . .

I'm such a n00b at all this, but I'm getting interested in making 2 of these for my own set-up and gigs. . .I do have a few questions that pertain expanding the Midi Fighter.

Been on here for a while, and I'm planning on making my own custom arcade controller based off of the customer midi fighters galore blogpost (http://www.djranking s.com/2010/09/1...ter/#more-7853). I understand that out of the box the MF can support 4 digital and 4 analog, and with multiplexers, I can add more. I'm believeing of adding a LED graph bar to my own set-up, and adding a few more things here and there, but the questions I have are minor in respect to what I know (which is minimal!). . but lemme go ahead and ask away. . .


1) Out of the box, is it possible to add this LED Light bar graph? (http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/pro...oducts_id=9937). . .I'm believeing of adding it to a slide pot for effects, but I have a feeling it's a no "not without losing an digital/analog point", but I would like confirmation on it so I can just keep a single LED instead.


2) If I decide on a multiplexor, which one should I look into? I'm looking into this one http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/pro...oducts_id=9056. . but since the MF itself isn't Arduino, I'm believeing I might be over my head on this one. . . .

any help would be INVALUABLE in my research and whatnot. . .again, I'm a total n00b at this, so bear that in mind. . .

Thanks in advance to ANYONE that has answers for me. . .
