Hi,
I want a customized controller, and I need a row of 12 pads, instead of 2 rows of 6 pads.
The nanopad is made up of a single board for the pads, so I've to split the board, but I don't know if then the pads will still work :)
I didn't found photos of the interior of the Akai LPD8 or the Icon Ipad, they have a single board too?
I've heard also of a controller by Vestax, can it be good for this mod?
Any idea?
Hack up your own midifighter-type controller? I don't think cutting a circuit board in half is a good plan.
I wouldn't use any of those controllers. What are you making it for? Does it really have to have velocity sensitive pads?
I'm building a customized keytar with 12 or 8 pads on the neck.
If the pads are velocity sensitive is better, but it's not necessary.
I'm not very into electronics, so I need something which is easy to mod ;)
Thanks

This is perfect for beginners.
the UMC-32 is awesome!
the only thing is its a little pricey, but in the long run may be simpler,
id be tempted to say if it doesnt have to be velocity sensitive, then just find a cheap MIDI keyboard, something small and wire 12 of the keys to 12 buttons or pads of your choice, and ignore the rest of its outputs
Hey- that's not a bad idea. Finally a use for the korg nanokey?
the UMC-32 seems to be very cool, but the idea of etch is easier and cheaper
I'll evaluate both of them ;-)
Thanks
mmm... I'm thinking that nanokey would be the best solution.
but I've the same problem: can I split it up?
beacuse I want the keys in a unique row
