My Christmas gift to y'all: tutorial on designing custom Push instruments

Hey folks,

I depend heavily on these forums when developing Max for Live devices, and so I figured I'd try to return the favour by writing a tutorial summarising a lot of what I've learned the last while: the tutorial describes in quite a bit of detail how one might develop Max for Live MIDI instruments that use an entirely custom Push layout, something like this:

I also have a short YouTube video demonstrating how the device works at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLiU9o8Oakw .

The tutorial itself comes in two parts:

Interfacing with the Push isn't actually all that difficult, but I found it difficult to find good information on the subject, so I hope that this tutorial improves that situation a little bit. Happy coding! :-)
