NOW that we have the possibility of proper communication with ableton, in terms of clip names, clip state, set state etc this opens up a whole new load of possibilities!
Imagine, a hardware version of the session view. How sick would that be??

...is where you want to haunt. It might look huge up front but read about the projects, that seems to be the site where the DIY crowd gathers to help each other out. A lot of projects are completely laid out. Take advantage of student discounts on compilers, programmers and parts while you can.
LCDs, I've never done a project from the ground up, check uCapps for what people use and print out the spec sheet and just start reading. I like to print them 4 pages per side of 8x11 sheet to makes them quicker to read, less intimidating easier to get to info. Forge, feel free to e-mail me on any ideas. LCDs are static, they don't change until you tell them to, write a byte of what to display, another byte to tell it where.
Dunno about the Python step sequencer, my fingers wrote some post or another about that, they have some ideas. I think my summer will be spent on Monome 40h tweaks (RGB LEDs) I'm more of a hardware than a software geek. I'm thinking Python might replace MAX/MSP for the monome interface, Live 7 will guide that decision. Then at some time the Live 7 beta will start and bye bye free time.
Python voodoo... Sqook I'm looking at you!! There's quite a few software gurus around here.
A year from now the Live landscape will be completely different. Very interesting times for Ableton and its users.
I'm a meganerd tho.
