MIDI Controller

thingiverse

MIDI Controller for various DAW and music programs, this MIDI Fighter styled unit is a blast to play with. Tested in Ableton Live, Reason, Garage Band, and Traktor, works perfectly every time. MIDI Map it to whatever you want. Comes equipped with 4 Analog and 16 Digital output ports. To make one of these, here's what you'll need: - 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 software, use the MocoLufa boot loader to program the Arduino without needing to flash the boot loader. The ON/OFF switch is what makes this possible. READ THE MocoLUFA instructions on the link. https://github.com/kuwatay/mocolufa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHOSCIRoJG8 The Arduino sketch is provided by Gustavo Silveira The Musico Nerd: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyqCwyBJ98fR-CPoyXUxY5w Watch his youtube channel for a lot of info about making MIDI controllers with the Arduino. https://www.dropbox.com/s/kgv656eeefdujr4/Staal3D-Midi-Controller.zip?dl=0 Change the Sketch as you need. Be aware of Digital Pin 13, it can cause some really funky unwanted triggering. It's been disabled in the sketch to avoid this issue. This project is so easy to make that a diagram isn't necessary. Wiring it up requires basic knowledge and common sense. The Mega has plenty of analog and digital pins for this controller.
