		<description>well you can record the samples that you want to use in a recording program like Ableton live. The easiest way to re-sample them is to use the "simpler" instrument included with Ableton live. you can download a working sample of Ableton from their website.

here is the instructions
1.record a small clip of the sound you wish to sample
2.in Ableton create a new midi track Shift-Alt-N
3.down in the bottom of the screen there should be a window in the "Chain" of your newly created midi track that says "drag audio and midi tracks here", Drag from your library the newly created audio clip into the field.
4. you can use the knobs in the instrument to adjust the start time and decay of your sound.
5. use a midi device to trigger the sounds like a midi keyboard I sometimes use the Korg Nanokey</description>

		<description>Hi, I have used CASIO 100 in my work that is going to be performed overseas. I cannot pack the synth itself with me due to new luggage restrictions on the carrier I chose. May you please prepare the samples - or teach me how I can do that - of very basic sounds, but precisely those from the list given on the CASIO body itself:
#3 Tube, #80 Airplane, #81 Ambulance, #52 Church Bells, #83 Emergency Alarm, #11 Whistle, #8 Bassoon, #88 Computer Sound ?

I will be very grateful if a colleague like you may help me in this complicated situation.

Sincerely,
Leonid Hrabovsky</description>

		<title>Comment on Novation Launchpad Tear Down by ben</title>

		<description>Hi there. I designed the Launchpad electronics and firmware, so that PCB is/was my handiwork. There were good reasons for doing it this way back in 2008, when the design cycle started.

For economic reasons, we used an eight-bit processor that runs a variant of USB 1.1 called 'low-speed USB'. It's designed for economical eight-bit microcontrollers that cannot handle the transfer rates of full-speed USB, where interrupts come every millisecond and can spill hundreds of bytes of data at you. Hence it's hamstrung to 800 bytes per endpoint per second. That's 400 MIDI messages if you use your own spec; 200 if you insist on being class compliant. This is why we picked the former. I still think that the protocol we devised with Ableton is a good manoeuvre around the limitations of the hardware. Perhaps one day we'll be able to revisit the design and make it better, but there's always so much to do.

Speaking of which, if you think you can do better and live in the UK, Novation are looking for more talented hardware/firmware designers, so send us your CV!

PS. We're always willing to help out third-party supporters if you've got your own questions.</description>

		<description>Hey, thanks for the info...

Hmm... I guess I'll have to think over if I really wanna do that ;D
I always thought surface mounting was a cool technology, but now I disagree.. =)</description>

		<description>It was some random bit I got at the hardware store.  If I find a model # I'll let you know.</description>

		<description>The led's are all surface mount and there is a bunch of them.  Changing them out is a big task, but one that can be done.  Best to brush up on your surface mounting skills.</description>
