[DIY Hammond Clone]

Hello everyone,

I am a physics student who plays the Hammond. Finally I graduated and I am moving away from my family, but that means I will not have an Hammond to play anymore. Given the very high prices for clones, I would like to build a MIDI clone.

 

I was thinking about a configuration using 2 Fatar waterfall keybeds, a B3 drawbar assembly, and some random knobs and switches. I was also thinking about using MIDIbox for the processing. 

 

I have a spare STM32F4 Discovery board lying around, and a spare B3 drawbar assembly.

 

The configuration would be:

- 2X 5 octave keyboards (130 switches.) optionally i would like velocity (260 switches)

- 38 drawbars (potentiometers)

- approx. 20 switches

- approx 6 potentiometers.

 

What configuration would you suggest to use with Midibox? NG? KB? Is this doable with midi box? What is STM32F4 support state?

 

Thanks for your time,

Philip

Thanks a lot!
That's interesting... I'm in the process of starting a  project, and gathering some details. In case I'll start with the STM32F4 I'd be very glad if you could share the preliminary version.

By the way, may I also ask what's the scan rate Midibox KB achieves?

I'll let you know,
Philip

Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask if there are any plans to bring the Midibox KB application to STM32F4, since I have a spare board and I would like to do something with it...

Thanks,
Philip
