Hey All,
I'm looking to get a hardware midi sequencer which I can use to write simple rhythmic sequences in realtime. I usually use Pd with my laptop screen closed, and a uc33 to control parameters in Pd patches, but the uc33 doesn't provide me with any way of entering rhythmic data. So what I'm envisioning is something like a bank of 32 by 4 buttons with LEDs on them which can be operated in toggle mode. Anyone know of a product like that? Also, anyone know of a product that uses something like several BCD thumbwheel switches to enter midi sequence data? http://images.google.com.au/images?hl=en&q=BCD%20thumbwheel%20switch&btnG=Google+Search&sa=N&tab=wi
Best,
Chris.

That's actually similar to how I perform (if I do). I extended this setup with the M-Audio Trigger Finger for rhythmic data, which is a MPC-like collection of 16 pads to drum on with your fingers. Not exactly what you want, but maybe also worth a look. It works plug-and-play on Linux, the internals seem to be practically the same as the UC-33.
More toggle-ish would be the Faderbox micromodul LX1 http://www.faderfox.de/ however it also provides no visual feedback on the state of the buttons.
The Doepfer Schaltwerk could more be like what you want, but it's sold out. Last price was about 1200 Euro, which I consider too expensive and which I'd rather give to CK to build me a multiIO instead.
Ciao

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the good links, that was very helpful. Seems like there is really no hardware out with a quality and price similar to the uc33 which does exactly what is needed. Do you know where I can get more information about CK's multiIO? I've done a search of the pd-list archives but the information was disjointed and non specific. Cheers.
Best,
Chris.

Hi,
here is some link: http://multio.mamalala.de/ http://multio.mamalala.de/intro.html

there is also a mailing list: http://tema.lo-res.org/mailman/listinfo/multio
