gooner Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Hi.This might be completely crazy idea, but in an ideal world I would love to have a custom midi keyboard/controller that looks like the Roland Jupiter 8 synth (just in terms of the layout), and which controls the soft synth by Arturia - the Jupiter 8V.http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/products/jupiter-8v/intro.htmlhttp://www.vintagesynth.com/roland/jup8.phpI presume a project like this would be extremely expensive but is it feasible? Does anyone know anyone that would consider giving me a quote for this?It's mostly sliders.. most of the buttons aren't assingable in the vst - less than half.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucem Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Skimming over, should be doable with the MBHP, but it'd need custom application of course.Are you fond on programming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Welcome aboard :)is it feasible?Yes.Does anyone know anyone that would consider giving me a quote for this?I'm sure that whoever supplies the parts you choose will give you pricing ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 thanks for your responses :)i got a quote for the parts but i think it'll be too expensive.. as i also need to put the whole thing together and i have no experience in anything like this.. (though I guess it coule be a great challenge!)if anyone has some tips on building a box myself and somehow putting all the components together then give me a shout!thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philetaylor Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 For help on putting everything together, http://www.ucapps.de and http://wiki.midibox.org are great resources.When it comes to boxes/enclosures, unless you have access to CNC equipment, this can be the most expensive part of the build :(As I have found out, cutting slots in aluminium for mounting sliders by hand is very very difficult. For one of my projects, what I have done is found an existing (faulty) commercial unit with the necessary number of sliders etc and 'bastardised' it :)CheersPhil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 You can also build a woodencase ;) but with cnc/laser live is made easyer :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
