Title says it all. Anyone here who is familiar with what's possible? Or maybe has built a midi controller, I find the forum somewhat impenetrable.
Thanks,

That was pretty simple, just one core and one midi out pcb modules
And what did you end up connecting it to? A summing box?
I spent a bit of time researching the ucapps stuff and while many people in there built some pretty awesome controllers it seemed they already had a good understanding of midi, programming, and the various protocols involved and it certainly was out of my league.
Did you already have any experience building controllers? How much more advanced is the fader automation?
Thanks in advance
Yes exactly, for the moment it's connected to a passive summing box with API style gain make up preamp.Rocinante said:And what did you end up connecting it to? A summing box?
I had no experience building midi controler before, but my requirements were basic: 8 digital inputs (buttons) and 16 digital outputs (8 for ssm2402 mute chips and 8 for the leds of illuminated buttons)I spent a bit of time researching the ucapps stuff and while many people in there built some pretty awesome controllers it seemed they already had a good understanding of midi, programming, and the various protocols involved and it certainly was out of my league.

I work in Pro Tools which makes things hard but I'm considering the idea of using something like Apple MainStage as a plug in host to make midi/VST etc easier. As long as I can save my settings for each song I'm happy.
I'm definitely interested in this so keep us updated. Having a customized vst controller would be the bees knees. Especially if it can do three plug-ins simultaneously.ruairioflaherty said:Great info guys thanks. Will check out the Yahoo group.
My ultimate dream would be physical controls on a custom panel that elegantly control my 3 main plugs, which are then saved with PT sessions. I think PT will be the sticking point but I can use another DAW as a processing rack of sorts if necessary, I bought Apple MainStage to experiment with that.
