Building MIDI-Controller with 60 Faders [noob]

Hi madworm, danke für die schnelle Antwort!

I will try to answer in english because some non germans might be intersted in this too. Ok:

  1. if i would try it with multiplexer or adc will i be able to use these analog inputs simultaneously? how does it work? will i have to tell (program) arduino to step through the channels at a given frequency?

  2. could i use 2 arduinos resulting in one unit with more channels?

  3. where can i learn how to connect all this? (i'd really like to understand what i'm doing but i don't know where to start)

thx!
