My first midi project?
My first midi project? Posted on: 21.01.2010 by Maryanne Weatherill Just believeing about making my own custom midi controler. And was jus wondering a couple of things.-is it possible to ataxh arcade buttons to a qwerty keyboard??? -I'll be modefying a type of numerical pad for pcs u know one of those keyboards that only have about 10 keys and I'm just wondering could I use 2 layers. I.e assign each key on the keypad as if only using it for one deck then say set the number lock key as a kind of hold and wen it's on your in control of deck b?? I know this is very simple compare to some of yer projects but I gots to start sumwhere Using tsp by the way | |

| Iola Obradovich 22.01.2010 | If you go the arduino route I should be of some help i have made several midi controlers, foot swictces, and instruments using them. Ill atleast be able to point you in the right direction for further reading. |

THis will then allow you to map two layers as you suggest. A word of caution though due to the way they are constructed keyboards and keypads anly allow 2 - 3 simultanious button presses (as Dodge just found out in a recent thread) which may well scupper your plans. I strongy suggest looking into an arduino it is surprisingly easy (probably about the same as working out the wiring for your keyboard) and you will be able to have your 10 keys and 6 faders or pots. |
