Interesting... this may take some time to develop. :) Would I be better off adapting a MIDIbox for this, as opposed to the floorboard? Brandon

Sounds great! Keep me updated on the progress. I have a question, though... will have you have a MIDI in so that the CCs are represented on the floorboard? For example, if you have, say pedal 3 control the delay on/off, if you load a patch that has the delay on, will the led turn on? Sorry, this is a bit hard to describe, but if you follow me, it's definitely something I want. I know the DMC Ground Control Pro does it. Good luck and, again, keep me updated! :) Brandon

Has there been any more development on this? Or has the site been moved? I need to do almost exactly what this guy was out to do! :) Thanks! Brandon

I don't have a layout yet, but I thought I would share my concept and see how hard it would be to do. This, for me, is the ultimate floorboard. I currently have a DMC Ground Control, which is great except for it only has 4 PC buttons accessable while the top 6 are CC's. It also has alpha/numeric naming and two expression pedals. I want alpha/numeric and at LEAST one expression pedal, 2 if possible, but more important are the "buttons" or "stomp-switches" or whatever you want to call them. :) I'm thinking maybe I could make it a bit long and have 8 PC switches on bottom along with bank + and - , and then have 10 CC's up top. Ultimately, I need more than the 4 PC and 6 CC switches, the alpha/numeric, and one expression pedal (just 1/4" jacks... not built in), if possible, 2. How hard would this be to do? I'm assuming the programming and the alpha/numeric would pose the greatest challenges. Any thoughts? This is exactly what I need in a pedal board, and only the $800 and up crowd offer it, so I definitely up to building one. :) Thanks! Brandon

Also, I'm leaving on vacation today and will not be back until Sunday. :) Just wanted to let you know. Brandon

Thanks, again, for the replies! :) I have got some thinking to do about all of this. I am also wanting to make a MIDI floorboard for my guitar rig (see www.freewebs.com/resilientaudio), but more than that, I've got to buy a new vehicle and move in about 3 weeks. :) After that, you guys will probably see a lot more of me and I'll hopefully get started on one, if not both, of my MIDI projects. Thanks again for the info and the link! Brandon

Hi Taylor! Thanks for the reply. Wow, I didn't realize the price of motorized faders. I think I'll stick with 8... lol. I had considered doing 32 regular faders instead of 16 motorized, but I'll do 8 motorized instead. I wish I could afford the Penny and Giles, I had originally wanted them, but alsp will do. Where did you get your Alps faders? Have a link? Also, what length are you using? I would imagine there's not going to be much difference between 60mm and 100mm since I think these only have a resolution of 128 from the midi, unless I'm totally off on that. As far as the gain goes, I'm aware there are no pres, but there actually is a gain function within Nuendo. :) Thanks very much for your replies. I'm not real concerned about an enclosure, but I am considering getting a nice front panel. Any ideas on where to get that? I'll do a search as well. Thanks again! Brandon

I am looking into building a MIDI switcher for my guitar rack as well. Check this guys site: http://www.jimkim.de/html/guitar01_01.htm He is very helpful, too, if you ask him questions. I'll let you know if I get anywhere with mine. I'm about to move, so it'll be a month or two before I am able to begin, but I need one for my rig as well. As far as I can tell, it would only cost about $50 us to build one. He provides the software. I'm also considering building a footcontroller based on the MIDIbox concept. :) Brandon

Oh, I forgot... I'd also like transport controls and maybe even at least a master LED meter bridge for stereo and "bank" buttons. Ultimately, I am just looking to build a full-fledged controller. :) But, I'm thinking it may not be worth the effort if it will cost me as much as an actual controller. One more question: from some more reading and pics, it looks as though you can combine cores so that you can have more than the restricted 8 motorized faders. How hard is this to do? I'd LOVE to have 16 "channels" on this thing! Thanks! Brandon

Hi all! I am new to the forum (needless to say ;) ) and I'm looking at building an audio software controller. I would love to build something that would emulate a Mackie HUI because most software supports this device. Here is what I want to build: I want it to have 8 channel strips, each with the following: 1. Motorized fader 2. hi, mid, low eq knobs (maybe even a mid-sweep knob, if possible) 3. pan 4. solo and mute buttons 5. a "select" button with LED indicator 6. a gain knob I also would like a backlit LCD on it and USB implementation, in case MIDI is not available or I just want to use it quickly. I would also like to have a motorized master fader. To my calculations, this is 7 knobs and 3 buttons per channel strip, which is possible, right? I have a few questions: 1. If this is doable, where do I need to start planning this thing out? 2. Would this be ran as a MIDIbox64? 3. How much should I plan on investing in this thing until I get it finished? 4. Is it possible, and how hard would it be, to add another 8 motorized faders? 5. Where do you guys recommend buying parts? My understanding is SmashTV has most modules ready in kits (which I will gladly purchase ;) ), but what about other things, such as motorized faders, switches, etc.? Could I buy most things from Mouser? I guess I had better leave this all in this one. :) Thanks and please excuse my ignorance. If anyone has any good reading references, please do share. Also, please do not feel afraid to correct me. I'm here to learn! Brandon
