questionable Posted August 16, 2009 Report Posted August 16, 2009 Adding to the glut of Midibox Traktor controllers out there, I introduce my new project:It is a Midibox64 based project, with 32 pots/faders, 20 LED's, 1 LCD, and 36 Buttons. It has 1 CORE Module, 1 AIN Module, 2 DIN Modules, and 1 DOUT Module, all purchased from SmashTV. I have written up a page on the wiki detailing the build at http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=questionableI have also been blogging the build (as well as that of my Arduinome) at http://www.nonsilence.com. I will be posting a video on the blog of the Midibox in action as soon as some replacement faders arrive (the crossfaders shown were mistakenly purchased as Log faders, not Linear). Regardless, the box works perfectly, and I am overjoyed to have a surface to work with that includes exactly the feature set I have been looking for. Thanks Thorsten and the rest of the Midibox devs for creating this fantastic project. Quote
rosch Posted August 17, 2009 Report Posted August 17, 2009 hey very nice work! the surface & wooden frame look great together!i'll have a look at your DokuWiki! Quote
questionable Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Posted August 17, 2009 Thank you for the kind words. Quote
woozle Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Very good looking. Where did you get the smaller black buttons? If I'm determining the scale correctly, they look very similar to the size of some that I'm using, only the contacts on mine stink. Quote
questionable Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Posted August 28, 2009 The buttons are from here:https://www.allelectronics.com/index.php?page=item&id=PB-155&extra=a%3A2%3A{i%3A0%3Bs%3A40%3A%2203823345592a403b2f4a37a59384e7ab28f02be1%22%3Bi%3A1%3Bs%3A0%3A%22%22%3B}but they seem to be sold out.

m00dawg Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 I dunno how it works, but this sure looks like a candidate for MidiBox of the Week to me! Really nice work!If I may ask, how much did that front panel cost? It looks quite sizable and the MB-6582 panels are already over $100. I ask because my next next project is to also make a control surface for Traktor (though I want to dual purpose it also as a standard MIDI control surface for music makings) and it seems a huge cost is the front panel itself.

questionable Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Posted October 2, 2009 Yeah, the front panel was just a bit over $100 US. That being said, having a well made front panel really makes me want to use it, instead of just being embarrassed about my poor metalworking skills. Quote
m00dawg Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Oh that's it? Just a little over $100? Well damn that's not bad at all! Quote
questionable Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Posted October 2, 2009 The little bit of engraving I had done (the lines, some text) actually added quite a bit to the cost. If I were trying to save money, I'd certainly ditch the engraving. The nice thing about designing your own controller, is that everything is exactly where YOU want it, so instead of reading labels, you can just twist the knob that you KNOW is the fx send, or whatever.
