pbisiac Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi everybody, After navigating in this forum for a couple of days I would like to pose some questions. I would like to build a HUI to control a specific DAW, ProTools 9(+). I have enough skill on electronics anf uP programming (it's my job). What would be the best platform to achieve my goal ? Solution 1 -> MIDIbox LC (Logic Control). In this case: - wich uP platform is the best ? PIC, STM32 or LPC ? I would prefer STM32, I work almost every day with it. - is C firmware available ? I searched for "LC 2.0 alpha" release, didn't find it. Which uP it it written for ? - Shall I obtain the same performance of Mackie Control, in terms of versatility, multi-function buttons and so on ? - Are there any decal examples for LC ? Just to understand how pushbuttons, LEDs, motorfaders and so on are mapped by default with respect to original LC. Solution 2 -> MIDIBOX mm - I looked into midibox_mm_v2_0e, PIC18F452 would be OK as well, obviously STM32 is on another planet...nobody ported this app ro STM32 ? - Shall I obtain the same performance of MotorMix, in terms of versatility, multi-function buttons and so on ? Solution 3 ? .... I looked at many LC custom realization, i find very practical for an hobbyst to build many single face little boards, but this has a couterpart in wiring complexity when you project grows up. Perhaps I woud consider grouping controls in zones and building a bigger printed circuit, to have a more clean and reliable set. Thank you for your help, Paolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zossen Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) HI Paolo try the search option for Mackie or LC or Protools..... < -- not the first one asking When you want to build up a big PCB for everything than make a good plan waht you need and want ! But than you can use just a few cabels from PCS o the Front and not as much as with he small boards (like 50 Pin SCSI Cable VS. 4Pin/8Pin/10Pin). And if you plan to make PCB's than make it with the new LPC-Based Projekt with Ainser64 Modules(are ot available in shop) - and share the Design with the Forum. The Old Core-Design (8Bit Pic) is also possible but w/o features Like USB MIDI,.. ect.. . But read a few hours (or days ,weeks , years ;-) ) in the Dokumentation/Wiki and the Forum and most of your questions are answered. greetz Zossen Edited March 16, 2012 by Zossen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
