SyncMaster (DIY Midi Controller)
Posted on: 06.03.2011 by Franklin Momany
Sorry if I'm re posting this. Its from 2008. But I can't find any information or side talk about this anywhere besides the source.

Hello everyone,
Browsing on the interwebz today I stumbled across a rather strange DIY midi controller built by a person named D.St-Amand. The post is on Hack a Day (which is a great site for a DIY'ers out there). Its called the SyncMaster.

Apparently its has the same functions as a normal midi. But the buttons and encoders are interchangeable. You can swap them any way you please! Probably some restriction for the encoders. But it really opens the doors on midi controller layouts. I'm really surprised this didn't catch on.

I Googled my face off! I didn't find a single word about this anywhere else besides of what Hack a Day (source) has posted. Does anyone have any information about it. What hardware is being used? Or even better how to make one!

I want!

Hack a Day:

[D.St-Amand] is designing the SyncMaster, a compact modular midi controller, from scratch. The design focuses on a modular build where you can swap out pieces like the one pictured above to achieve different layouts. Not only is it modular, but its very compact. Shown next to some common competitors, it looks very sleek.

Development seems to be moving forward, the pictures have been updated frequently. Lets hope to see a fully functional demo some time soon. Some more detailed information on the build might be nice as well. This may remind you of our story on MachineCollective. While there are similarities in that they

I'm starting to doubt if this Syncmaster was ever successfully "made". The idea is great, so I'm positive word would have gotten around by now.

Forgot to mention,
On the Hack a Day page there a little read button. It doesn't have an article, but instead it takes you to his Flicker (image hosting) account. Page 2 is where it gets good. This guy has some really interesting prototypes.
