Hello everyone!
firstly I'am sory for my English more than basic , I hope you understand me ..
I discovered this forum there about three weeks , until then I did not know it was possible to create my own midi controller ! So I decided to try : p
I use Ableton Live as DJ , I always wanted to create me a big fat controller !
Only little problem, I do not know anything about electronic or programming ..
I did some welding at school a long time ago but that's it : p
I guess it's like anything, with time and patience anything is possible ... Finally, I hope, we'll see.
I set a budget a maximum price of 1000 euros.
My project is to create a Fat Controller with 18 vertical slices ,
16 slices each with 5 potentiometers and 14 illuminated pads (the leds color would fit the colors of ableton live clips) (every slice would represent an Ableton set with his clips.. )
+ 2 slices of 24 smaller pads to select ableton sets and load them into the 16 slices.
by making a calculation , my controller would have 80 potentiometers & 272 light pads ...
By browsing in the forum I saw that to create the controller, it requires several modules ( CORE, AIN , DIN, ... )
If I understand the system , the base is the CORE module (connected by USB to the computer ), on which are welded DIN modules ( which manages the " switches " ) , AIN (which allows you to manage potentiometers ) , and DOUT (which manages the LEDs ) .
My questions are:
1: Does one core module can handle this number of pads and potentiometers ? and if so what model?
2: If not , is it possible to connect several CORE modules together to get there?
3: What are the models that correspond to my project?
I may be all wrong , if that's the case I 'm sorry .. this is really something new for me, but that takes me heart!
Thank you in advance for your help,
Best regards !
