Custom midi controller question
Custom midi controller question Posted on: 01.06.2013 by Devora Angiolillo Hey all,I have a 35 button keypad that I would love to turn into a midi controller. The only problem is it connects via ps/2. I found many help threads talking about converting ps2 controllers into midi controllers with a converter but couldn't seem to find any dealing with ps/2. Would something like this even be possible? My goal would be to get a ps/2 to usb converter and try get this thing working with Ableton. If this sort of thing is possible, my next question would be what kind of ps/2 converter to buy. A lot of the ones i'm finding seem to be made specifically for old keyboards and mice. Any input would be greatly appreciated. keypad.jpg | |
