I have the layout sketch and some PCB layouts to add this week. I figure that the Midibox project is open so why should my implementation not be.. I think it's a project that could do with some more light shone on it actually as it's mature, supported and not that hard to pick up with a bit of patience and soldering practice now the kits are available for those of us who aren't electrical geniuses. And let's face it. The current crop of commercial controllers are far from perfect and will always fall short as everyone uses Live in a different way. I will keep the blog updated for sure..

I guess the Max/WIndows is a typo.. I figure you mean Mac/Windows The MIDIBox I'm building will be an Ableton Live controller specifically and not laid out like a monome, though I really love the ideas behind their controller. I'll be adding more details in the next few days on the blog once I've cleaned up the layout diagrams and worked out how to explain what the sections will do.
