Thanks Hawkeye, I already started reading. Btw. you have I nice studio with nice sound producing - sew it in your videos.

There is no picture right now actually, I just start my way, and Fatar is the only keyboard company I know :smile:. Thanks for reply anyway and the hint for the tuts. I tryed figure the structure of this homepage but its kind of hard for me to navigate to the right page. I will definite start from scratch here cause I wouldn't understand it if I just pick a board and glue it to a masterkeyboard. First step is to run the Keyboard then add the controls and faders to it. Another question - How any DAW will recognize the midi device - is there a driver needed for windows? Or does the uController emulate the Midi device so windows uses standard midi driver? If so, are those driver good enough?

Hello everyone, <short story> im really happy to find this Project (actually you cant miss it if you search for "DIY midi controllers"). <short story end> <for all who are trying to beat time down> Im a hobby musician since my good old 13th and since then I had some really good gear to stay interested in making music. Korg TRITON was my absolute favorite one. Sadly this thing dies a really heroic death some years ago and in all my distress I ended my carrier as a musician since then. I tried actually to reactivate it a couple times with some pure software solutions, like Cubase but the workflow with so called DAWs is like you try to nail a twisted spike with the peak side of the hammer - compared to TRITONS sequencer workflow. At some point I gives up. Later on the new DAW controller become popular and I thought that my days of quietness and darkness are over after all. I tried out some of them but it doesn't feels right - the overall quality is way to poor. The most products are not made from a musician but a businessman point of view. Meanwhile I learned programming for PC machines in c++ and my job forced me to learn SPS and electronics. And the idea to try to build a DAW controller by myself starts to rise. Especially as I started to explore microcontrollers (atmega) for some other purposes and began to understand how it all works together. Now im here and I think this will be my starting point. <some time in the future> There are some questions of course. First of I cant understand what the purpose of the mios32 because I thought RTOS is the operating system of the new chips and mios32 is like a os from what I read so far. Secondly my plan I to buy a FATAR keyboard and send the keys over to my host via midi USB - I couldn't find any project that realizes this one. I know there is a 8 pin( or was it 10pin) socket out of FATAR boards but I don't know how it it works. More questions will follow. Cheers
