zztop Posted October 19, 2011 Report 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
ilmenator Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 You want to build a MIDIbox LC. For inspiration and more infos, take a look here. Quote
nebula Posted October 19, 2011 Report 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. Refer to this thread: Quote
