zztop Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hi everyone, I'm new here, 'cause I just found out this nice forum including ucapps.de site (great stuff!) Well... I have experiences with DIY, but only with analogue gear (mic preamps, EQs, guitar stompboxes, etc...), so I know how to wire potentiometers, faders; I know how to use resistors, capacitors & opamps to make filters, eqs, distortion circuits... blabla :) And now I see that I could be able to make my own midi controller for DAW (I'm using Cubase), but all I need is someone to point me in the right direction, because when it comes down to digital - I'm dead. I mean, I know basic theory of MIDI and how ADDA works (briefly), but I don't know which module for what and so on... So, let's make it short and simple: I would like to make 16-channel controller with motorised faders, 16 pan pots (rotary) and LCDs (I'm guessing 1 LCD per 4 channels) for showing up the name of a track/channel, bank select switches and nudge switches. That's all. :) Which module(s) would be the best to make this happen and if anyone already made something similar, is there a schematic available? Plus, then I would need some software to programme what LCDs will show, etc. Right? :) I'm ready to learn, I just need some directions. Thank you for your answer and time. ;) P.S.: I'm mostly using Cubase 6 if this helps you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmenator Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 You want to build a MIDIbox LC. For inspiration and more infos, take a look here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebula Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 The MIDIbox LC ("Logic Control") project uses the "MF" module ("Motor Faders".) A revised "MF" concept has been developed. It is an improved way of working with motorized faders. If I were to build a MIDIbox LC I'd probably go bleeding edge and make it the newer way.
