Reply to Building an Advanced Traktor Controller with MIDIbox

Hi folks, I learned a lot from this site so I thought it was about time to give something back .

During the beginning of this year I started believeing about building a MIDI controller together with a friend. Actually I'll be helping him to build his own controller.



The controller will be based on the MIDIbox hardware platform.
I attached a rough sketch of it to this thread below.

Because this is kind of long term project we decided to set up a blog about the work in progress.
By trying to cover the entire process completely we hope it will convince other people to start building a MIDI controller themself.

I'll try to update this post once in a while but its easier just to subscribe to our blog's RSS feed.
If there are any suggestions or questions feel free to comment or drop us a line
