New Projects

So I have two new projects that I am being two work on.
The first is that I am going to add some small units to my 2nd box...(i should come up with a better name for this inteface ; ) ..) that will have things like faders and knobs installed in them. I am going to connect them to the main unit using ethernet cable(cat5), which will allow me to be able to reposition the box at different angles for a more optimal performance set up. The issue that I am debating about is to where to actually place the analog in card in relation to the box, it will either be inside the box or outside the main box and connecting to all the knob and fader boxes. Another problem it that I am going to have to have more they one cat5 connection in each fader/knob box since, the max number of singles connection I can get through one connect is 7 and plus one for ground.. which I guess isn't to bad since I am only thinking about adding 32 controls in total.
The second project is one that I have been slowly working up to over the past year or so, which is that I am going to develop some type of music software for the nintendo ds. I been talking about doing this for so long but, the fact that I have barely anytime when I am in school to do anything has been making my progress on this project extremely drawn out. Anyways, the idea I have it have some small modular synth environment that will be like a strip down version of Reaktor. This is only an idea and probably will evolve into something completely different because, I need to really get a grip on the platform a bit more before I can say for sure what it will be like. So, this will be my summer project and a very long summer it will be.
