Reply to my MidiFighter...what about yours?

i'm completely novice about electronics, programming...hell, even soldering. but the news about the expandability of the midifighter has gotten my gears turning. i'm believeing of trying to snag one of the kits, and figure out the rest as i go.

my idea so far:

• the 16 arcade buttons and leds

• a joystick

• an xy pad

• a couple of sliders

• a couple of knobs

i want to use it as a secondary controller to my apc40 when djing...and maybe even on it's own to 'perform' original productions in a laptop deathmatch style

here's a 5 min MS Paint sketch of my idea, lol

what's your idea?
