| Branden Wentler 30.08.2010 | I would take it for the case alone. Anything that sends a message "Waiting for rack..." is the tits to me |

I may send button pressing (they seem on/off switches) throught serial interface... maybe attaching and arduino and with (some) patience it will work... but it's not better buy a second hand APC40? (here at DJTT you can find one guy selling one at low price...) ... |

| Estefana Musfeldt 28.08.2010 | I believe it is only really of any use with alot of other gear sample units, studio video gear etc. you could rip out its insides and connect all the buttons and faders to usb brains that would work haha (very hard work though) |
| Danae Dumler 28.08.2010 | oh whoops here are the pics (and the listing on ebay): http://cgi.ebay.com/Graham-Patten-D-...item415241afc7 |
| Danae Dumler 28.08.2010 | No idea -- looks like some kind of serial-type cables, definitely pre-USB, hehe! Here are more pics, the thing is practically being given away on ebay so if someone here believes they can do something cool with it, snatch it up! I would but I'm afraid it will just take up space here as I would barely know where to start with this thing. But it is definitely digital in some way so it might be pretty easy to get working if you could figure out how to get the signals converted to midi or hid.... |
| Karolis Petrauskas 27.08.2010 | Wow that thing is awesomez! What does the plug look like? |
