I’d like to build a switchboard along with my midibox which have all most common-used transport functions:
Play, Record, Stop, Pause,…
The idea behind this switchboard is to make the recording process easier when recording the guitar standing up sincethen I can control everything about transport with this switchboard (then I won’t have to reach my mouse, keyboard to press “play” “stop” “record” so forth…)
What module do I need to build to use this switchboard along with my midibox?
What parts/module to buy?
Any suggestions are welcomed…
Note: Both the midibox and switchboard will have their own transport switches
if up to 8 buttons are enough, then you could use the j5_din application. It requires only one core module, the buttons have to be connected to port J5 - it can send any MIDI events you want (by default Note events)
For more then 8 buttons (or additional LEDs), a DIN and DOUT module is required beside of the core, MIDIO128 is the recommented application for this case
nah Tk is saying that if you need only up to 8 switches you don’t need anything but a core module, if you want mor controls or leds, you will need to also build din or dout modules which connect to the core
