hi there,
this made a long time I didn’t come here.
I’m the guy who made the protodeck controller a long time ago:
http://julienbayle.net/works/creation/protodeck-midi-controller-for-ableton-live
I have to say I finally didn’t use it a lot all along my live sets travel and experiences.
And I played a lot, but I’d finally use very much simple stuff.
Now, I’d really like to make a pots only device.
Requirements would be:
-
60 pots with a couple of buttons (no more than 5)
-
pots would be illuminated to easily make “block of pots” with colors
-
pots would be screwable on the faceplate
-
only USB for data + power would be a dream.
I have a couple of questions:
-
should I follow the LPC17 way ?
-
for my box, is there a new service on the web for making the whole stuff easily using template for instance ?
-
for about to 60 pots (illuminated by led) would the usb power supply enough ? (I guess no. but are there pots to try to find out in order to reduce consumption?)
-
any ideas about nice illuminated pots ?
I would design this not because I want to make a proof of concept but because I need it on stage.
drehbank stuff was nice, I just cannot find one and I need USB stuff instead of DIN, anyway.
I mean, if I know the technology behind this, I need to build it in next month without loosing too much time (this is why I would be happy to use template for the box design)
ANY ideas or advices would be appreciated
