diy controller

@Stewe, can you post a link to the pads. I just bought a bunch of arcade buttons but I'd rather use other buttons.

Here is the link to their builder DIY section. Plenty of cool items there:

Anytimes!

Hey there!

I'm also interested in building a direct USB-Midi without 3rd party software

(currently I taped 4 playstation buzz controllers to each other and I converted HID-Midi)
-> I have tho a problem with multicontrol for mac, windows works fine with rejoice, but I can't seem to find noteon/off it's only noteout, if someone could help me with this?

Anyway,

I was also interested in building a diy controller (with teensy++ 2.0)
I can get the OBSF-pushbuttons really cheap but shipping takes long. (even found pushbuttons without brand for 0.19$ excl. shipping fee)

so what I wanted to ask is the following: is it possible to have a look-a-like of the midifighter classic, but

5x4buttons + whenever you push 1 button, 1 led will light up. (with teensy++ 2.0 without pins)

And is the coding of teensy hard? I mean I have no clue about coding, but I learn fast.

thanks in advance.

If the idea is to get one LED to light up when you press a button, it's even simple than most of the things we're trying to achieve here. You don't even need the ++ but with the ++ you won't need to do any kind of matrix which will simplify the code very much.

About the code being hard... it really depends. Do you have any experience with code? At all? What about electronics? Any experience?
The thing you want to do is pretty simple. I still would recommend to follow the tutorials on the teensy website and even some arduino ones. So you get used to the way of the code and understand why the basics are this way.

The only "coding" i ever did was copy and paste commands and sometimes adjust numbers

about the led yeah nothing spectacular; what would you do?

I also wonder, are there other boards like midifighter one. Where you just click buttons on?
I know livid has something alike tho you would need to attach that to a brain right? Omniboard i think

[Stewe]

I think that Omniboard supports only four arcade buttons so you might need to connect four boards or to get Brain jr and connect arcades directly, it also support LED feedback (monochrome and RGB).

Whats the big diff between brain jr and teensy?
