Reply to Build Log} DIY Midi Mixer/Controller {x8-Arcade

I've been contemplating building a controller for a while now, and with watching and reading on other peoples build log's it encouraged me to move forward with my ideas. So the way my idea started is because I have an extra fully functional Lpd8 board, and I was believeing if it would possible to do an arcade mod with it. So I posted a thread on asking if anyone knew if it could be done, AND it very much so can be. So with that great news it got me believeing that I could do this and some how incorporate my M-Audio X-Session Pro that is also collecting dust. So I came up with the idea plan above. I wouldn't be adding anything really other then the arcade buttons and casing, It would just be me more so rearranging things to my liking.

Heres a look at what I'm using:






(not this exact hub, but one similar)



:eek:

Now the tricky part for me is how to go about removing the knob pots and faders rearranging and then adding wire to connect em back to the board(s).
So I'm kinda relying on you guys to dump some more knowledge on me, on what is the best way to go about doing this. Thanks in advance.
