Last I left off there was some concerns I had with how I was doing some things and how the device would interact with the Mainstage Software.  I was hoping there was a way for the device to poll the software to get the state of things that buttons were mapped to.  It seems that there is not.   That is ok, with that concern behind me, and myself actually having some time, and renewed interest in the project I think I am going to bring it to finish fairly quickly.   I've been writing the sketch over the last couple days.  I need to figure out if the Arduino Uno will be sufficient or if I need to update to the mega.  I'll be adding an LCD as well.

The plan now is to have 8 banks of 8 buttons, 1 button to initialize a bank change, that leaves an extra button that I need to decide how I am going to use.  I had an idea prior, but forgot what that was.  Oh well.   More soon.
