Hi everybody,
After navigating in this forum for a couple of days I would like to pose some questions.
I would like to build a HUI to control a specific DAW, ProTools 9(+).
I have enough skill on electronics anf uP programming (it's my job).
What would be the best platform to achieve my goal ?
Solution 1 -> MIDIbox LC (Logic Control). In this case:
- wich uP platform is the best ? PIC, STM32 or LPC ? I would prefer STM32, I work almost every day with it.
- is C firmware available ? I searched for "LC 2.0 alpha" release, didn't find it. Which uP it it written for ?
- Shall I obtain the same performance of Mackie Control, in terms of versatility, multi-function buttons and so on ?
- Are there any decal examples for LC ? Just to understand how pushbuttons, LEDs, motorfaders and so on are mapped by default
with respect to original LC.
Solution 2 -> MIDIBOX mm
- I looked into midibox_mm_v2_0e, PIC18F452 would be OK as well, obviously STM32 is on another planet...nobody ported this app ro STM32 ?
- Shall I obtain the same performance of MotorMix, in terms of versatility, multi-function buttons and so on ?
Solution 3 ? ....
I looked at many LC custom realization, i find very practical for an hobbyst to build many single face little boards,
but this has a couterpart in wiring complexity when you project grows up. Perhaps I woud consider grouping controls in zones
and building a bigger printed circuit, to have a more clean and reliable set.
Thank you for your help,
Paolo
