Folks, I'm working on adding midi remote control to P3. Obvious TBIs are bank select or program change messages to change P3 bank, CCs for mute/unmute tracks, maybe also CCs for edit track 1 - 8, pattern select, note input for PXPos, that sort of thing. Seems like a good idea to

Of course, any DC bit of hardware can be battery powered, but you need to be careful not to damage your precious gear. I think that going post regulator is a very bad idea. The reasoning being that batteries are never an exact voltage for any lenth of time. Regulators keep your e
