Preview of our homebrewed controllers

Zestoi, that's very useful to make my mixer working properly in mixxx! Thanks!
And you are right, they are centered sending 127/1 (7F/01) if I recall the hex numbers right.

Cheers

Hey Joel! Really amazing job there! Looks really nicely built, love it, specially the mixer controller! Looks like a really fun build.
Which multiplexer did you use for those?

We ended up using the 4051B for both my mixer and Johans gridcontroller. For future builds we would use one with more channels. However this build didn't call for it.

Thanks for the kind words!
Cheers

Hey there!
Looks great! I got my Teensyboard at home and did not start building a controller yet.

What kind of faders did you use?
Can I ask you for help when I start writing code for my controller project?

Cheers!

Loving the first, mixer like, controller.

Let me know how that one goes.

I think you're onto something cool, but just once I would love it if a prototype looked nothing like a midi-fighter.

Just my two cents.

true i guess - tho it wouldn't hurt for a few more controllers to have the option of arcade buttons. i love the arcade buttons on my midifighter *but* they're too big really to replace all buttons on a controller - and you really don't need arcade buttons everywhere. i'd rather have multi coloured led feedback on a bunch of more rubbery buttons than arcade buttons everywhere tbh.

Yeah I agree with you but this was what I needed for my setup. But now when everything is done I would not build it like this. For example I would not use fader. I find faders pointless, unless your a scratch dj. Encoders do the same job and take up less space.. Now I would rather have an eq section and some encoders where the faders are. I guess you always wants to do things different when you are done. That is what keeps you building more stuff

I find it hard to find good buttons that are not arcades. Maybe I have to read out the internet like my friend Joel. Do you have any tips?

Yea different layers are good. Like for this midi fighter clone the two blue buttons are hardware modifiers that depends on eachother. But I tend to not like working with layers when I dj. To much to get confused about. But if you want it compact then that is the way to go I guess.
