Meet Ol' Bessie - my midibox 64 project
Meet Ol' Bessie - my midibox 64 project Posted on: 22.09.2009 by Cyrstal Pannone hi guys, I thought I would share my midibox project with you. Let me know if you have any suggestions or tips as its my 1st one! I have built all my modules, just fine tweaking my pots/fader choices. I am also trying to fabricate a jog wheel similar to the VCI. Does anyone know anywhere in the UK i could get a small run of parts fabricated? here is where im up to with the layout. Its taken a lot of fiddling to get it to this point! olBessienew2.jpg Im also documenting my build on my blog, i had no experience with electronics so it was a really steep learning curve for me and I want others to benefit from all the hours i spent pouring over circuit diagrams. Im still updating it as its new: //www.herkemusic.com Let me know if you have any questions! cheers Neil | |
| Cyrstal Pannone 23.09.2009 | Hi, The reason I went down the midibox route is that I wanted a really solid controller as most of them feel really cheap and plastic. This one is going to be built like a brick I ordered the parts from mikes midishop in germany. They took about a week to get here, however for some reason he doesnt have paypal or google checkout so I had to put the money into his account directly. for this "service" the bank charged me |

| Sharolyn Narramore 22.09.2009 | thats awesome. Nice and tidy. Its great that more people are building midiboxes. Did you get your modules from avishowtech.com? I ordered from them but its been backordered for a couple weeks now. Anyhow, keep us updated. |
| Lilliana Perris 23.09.2009 | Ahh well..... If you have an Allen Heath......Mix external! My residency also have an Allen Heath.... I don;t have it at home to use, but i am sure I will use it. Then i can leave my VCI on Fader FX mode. You shoudl have a similar functionality with your controller. Yeah.....VCI with 3 channels....woulda been nice! |
| Cyrstal Pannone 22.09.2009 | Hi, yeah its all running into an external mixer. By the looks of the new version of Traktor you might be able to output the track volumes if at some point i wanted to do a different version with a mixer, but I prefer my allen & heath All the on/off buttons will be illiminated too so I know which are on or not too |
| Lilliana Perris 22.09.2009 | Ol Bessie! KEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKE Thats like....the cows name on the farm! Super COOL! How are you going to control the volume etc? Or will this be used with External Mixer? |
