Designing a MF addon controller
Designing a MF addon controller Posted on: 01.03.2010 by Harlan Beith well, like the title states, and hopefully with input from Ean. I'm trying to incorporate the extra inputs of the MF in a second controller interface. Currently i'm in the stage of deciding the configuration for the inputs, and that's the reason for this post.Option 1: would be an extra fx controller 8 way digital arcade joystick 4 analogue sliders/knobs Option 2: would function as mixer support: 4 push buttons to mark headphone cue on/off a/b/c/d 4 analogue sliders for deck volume a/b/c/d Option 3: more designated fx 4 buttons 4 sliders/knobs Option 4: fx 2 analogue joysticks 4 pushbuttons questions? comments? ideas? I like to tinker and as soon as I get my MF, I can start building this ;D | |

| Harlan Beith 10.03.2010 | Either you didn't read my post or you misunderstood it. I plan to get soaked, I'm going to build a plug in addon controller, pcb and all, and try to mass produce it, all I want from this community is an opinion of which model to build. I'm not going to build 20 different types if only 2 are going to be used. so to help, i'm going to open a new post so i can just use teh poll system. |
| robert chanda 10.03.2010 | You want step by step instructions? How about you make a start, take some pictures and we'll join in. There's nothing like the thrill of plugging in a component and seeing it control the software. Sitting around and waiting for a design to appear from the ether will take a while, so while you're waiting why not get your feet wet with some cardboard, some 26 gauge wire, a breadboard and some components? |
| Harlan Beith 10.03.2010 | damn, bumpity bump bump, is no one interested in a plug and play addon? c'mon, throw some thoughts at me |
| Random X 02.03.2010 | @midifidler: no digital crossfaders to go round than? I was kinda hoping to find one. |
| Harlan Beith 01.03.2010 | awesome, I just received the shipping notice for my MF, once I get it assembled I can start tinkering with some options. I'd love some more feedback. |
| Adolf Hit 01.03.2010 | You can only have 4 analo Tekki so that limits you to 3 Faders, 1 cross fader ) |
| Random X 01.03.2010 | I am believeing somewhere along the line of: 4x Line fader (3pins) 1x crossfader (3pins) 2x rotary encoder (3 pins) Haven't figured the last slot out yet. |
