Reply to 19" selfmade arcade-monster

your arcade-button mods inspired me very much!
i built this controller december 2008-february 2009.
the interface is made for ableton live.
i have a 4 track-based setup.
i render my tracks to 4 groups: bass, drums, instruments and vocals.
on the left side you can see the 4-track setup with start, stop, solo and effects for each track.
the middle part controls the master channel (navigation & effects).
the buttons on the right are used to trigger samples and additional effects.

i used a 19" flightcase, closing the top transforms it to a... case

when akai released the apc i was a bit shocked because they created a machine that is doing what i wanted my controller to do but of course with a lot more possibilities.

the biggest disadvantage seems to be the lack of visual feedback- even though i didn`t have any problems with that while performing.

i hope you like my controller- if anyone is interested i can post more pictures and information.
