help a newbie !!!
hey guys,
i’m trying to built my own midi controler and i am a a stage where i need to set up my teensy board for midi.
all i need is 12 analog inputs (for rotative potentiometers) and 2 digital inputs (for rotative encoders)
i understood that i need to enter some kind of code on the teensy.
can anyone give me a kickstart ?
many thanks in advance
Robert
Hey,
I’m not exactly sure what you mean but i assume you’ve now got 14 inputs connected to the teensy directly? And you want to know what you have to upload to transform this into a fully fledged midi controller?
Well in your case you can use Midi Elements, created by Tomash Ghz (he is on DJTT too really talented DJ/producer) while this makes the programming super easy I can understand if this is still too hard, if you are not able to write the code yourself just PM me and I will write & debug it for you.
Apologies for spelling errors, I am extremely hung over…
For others reading this later on, here is the final code:
