First off I have no affiliation with this, just something interesting that I wanted to share.
Its only $50 but you have to pledge it to his project, you don’t pay anything if he doesn’t reach his goal. (Not sure if you guys know about kickstarter but its a legitimate site)
Oh and its arduino programmable!
Looks like its worth $50 to me, might try and get my hands on one.
This looks very cool, but don’t midi to usb cables have really high latency? That’s what they’re bundling it with on the kickstarter. Either way it looks promising and open source is always a plus
The hale umc32 has 40 inputs (you forgot that the aux can be used for 8 digital inputs)
It is not cheaper if you have to buy a converter, as said in the article.
But i have to admit its cool that it’s designed by a school student
I don’t, it’s just what I heard in another thread, I can try and find it if you want. The M-Audio one in particular. If what you say is true, then alternatively the only downside I can see is wall power/ lack of usb. But for the price that’s not much to complain of.
$50 on the kickstarter gets you a chomp, $60 gets you a chomp and a converter. If I’m not mistaken the UMC is about $90, so even if you were to buy the chomp and converter separately, I think it would still be cheaper.
