MIDI Controller

cults3d

MIDI Controller for various DAW and music programs. This is a MIDI Fighter styled unit and is really fun to play with. Has been tested it in Ableton Live, Reason, Garage Band, and Traktor. Works like a charm. MIDI Map it to what ever you want. It has 4 Analog and 16 Digital output. What hardware you need to make one: On/off switch size 12.9mmx19.4mm 16 Sanwa 24mm Arcade buttons (or clones) 4 Knobs size: 15mm x 17mm (KN-11/WS) 4 10k potentiometers 8 4-6mm M3 button head screws Arduino Mega (mounting screws or glue gun) Dupont wires for the arduino Wires for the buttons and potentiometers For the software use the MocoLufa boot loader and you are able to program the Arduino again without needing to flash the boot loader. This is what the ON/OFF switch is for. READ THE MocoLUFA instructions on the link. And as a bonus the Arduino shows up and work as a normal Native USB MIDI device without the need for a emulator such as hairless MIDI etc.

It has been disabled in the sketch. This should be very easy to make, so I have not provided the diagram for it since this is really basic knowledge wiring it up and maybe you dont want to use the same Digital Pins as I do. The Mega has more than enough analog and digital pints for this controller.
