DIY MIDI Controller Info

There's a bit of controversy on that one!
Basically if you're not going to have any LEDs (or not a lot anyway) you can get away with powering it off the GM5 USB Module...

I was under the impression I'd be able to power mine through USB (looking at an APC40 etc) but I'm going to have to build a transformer into my box as well! Which isn't so bad really, I'll just have an IEC (kettle lead) port in the back as it's pretty standard and should be able to pick one up anywhere if I forget it etc.

I actually prefer it this way as sucking that much power from your laptop isn't very wise and the LEDs aren't going to be as bright...

Hey could you explain your design a little bit? Seems like a lot of buttons!

I have a bunch of assembled midibox modules but i'm currently lacking the other parts/ the motivation to complete my design... I put up a for sale post in the buy/sell forum if anyone's interested.

If nobody buys them I might just save them for another day

Click on the 2D mockup you can see what I'm aiming for. That should explain what all the buttons are going to be used for.
