DIY controller and integrated touchscreen PC build
Thought you might be interested in this DIY project. I’m posting progress here:
Aim is to try and reduce the amount of gear and the amount of setting up required to do a gig. So, no external hard drive, soundcard, mixer or controller - all in one box! It uses a touchscreen for most controls, and physical buttons and faders for the most often used controls.
Let me know what you think!
Wow it looks like it can be awesome!
Excited to see how this pans out. Really cool man.
Can I buy one if it’s done?

Made some progress!
PCB’s arrived and built up. Tested with a Midibox core and work perfectly. Now getting quotes for the case.
If it goes well I may be able to sell a kit of parts, or semi-built unit. I’ve got plenty of PCBs!

Looks great! I really like the whole concept here.
You should post some video too
This looks awesome! What goes on the touchscreen though? Can’t wait to see a demo.
Nice work. Hope to see this finished to the end
