Tannin DIY MIDI Controller
Tannin DIY MIDI Controller Posted on: 26.12.2013 by Nathanael Yerk I'm well aware that I haven't updated this thread for a long time - it's for a reason. That project is simply too complex and too expensive for me to finish it in some reasonable time. Project is still open and up on GitHub, if anyone wants to build it. So long story short - I've started doing something much more simpler - Tannin. It's a project I actually managed to finish (well almost, I still need a box) in about 3 weeks from scratch. I do have 3,5 years of experience with OpenDeck tho. So here are the specs of Tannin:4x4 matrix of tactile buttons 3 additional metal buttons 4 LEDs with metal holders 16 pots Driven by Arduino Nano microcontroller Pictures: And here's a short video of it in action (it's pretty hard filming and showing off features ) Video Features are mostly the same as OpenDeck: Each potentiometer sends additional 6 MIDI Note On/Off events depending on its position Each button sends another MIDI note after 1 second on another MIDI channel MIDI In Support (Traktor can control LEDs) Standard MIDI Note On/Off support Looking forward hearing opinions. | |

| Nathanael Yerk 28.01.2014 | Quick question: how much would you guys pay for this controller (or something very simmiliar)? |
| Nathanael Yerk 23.01.2014 | It's some kind of special plastic board with thin black film on it glued to 3mm plexi board. The graphics and holes are then drilled / engraved with laser CNC. The design is made by me in CorelDraw. |
| Oren Stunkel 23.01.2014 | How did you get / do the markings / graphics on the faceplate? |
| Nathanael Yerk 20.01.2014 | All right, here it is: |
| Nathanael Yerk 16.01.2014 | Final piece of the puzzle: Next week (I hope) I'm going to record a overview video with all features shown. |

| Nathanael Yerk 06.01.2014 | Added another neat feature. Each LED can now blink or be in constantly turned on state. Previous LED state is also remembered, so if LED was blinking and LED received Note event which turns on constantly turned on state, LED will stop blinking will instead be lighted constantly until Note Off event is received which will turn constantly turned on state off. After that LED will continue blinking until off event for blink state is received. Pretty hard to explain so here's a video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v...type=2&theater |

| Nathanael Yerk 30.12.2013 | There are some small details that need to be done but this is mostly it: Also two additional videos: Video 1 Start up routine (only thing is that starts kinda slow... I need to look into that): Video 2 |
