Well thats just it... I need to know how fast "as fast as you can" needs to be as that decides
the minimum ability of the microcontroller needed to scan the controls and thus the system
complexity.
What and how many controls would most people consider the minimum necessary on a control
surface to be usefull assuming it was talking to something like Ardour.
