Hi, I’m about to finish my Ambika, and I’m considering building a midi controller to put it together with the synth in a nice case. So far, I’ve been thinking about these:
Any experiences with these boards?
The highly liquid one is nice, but it can only work with 14 pots, so I think I would need 3 or 4 of them. The problem with the other ones is that it seems the livid one can only send cc messages from 1 to 63. The Doepfer, on the other hand, lets you select between 1-63 messages or 64-127, but not at the same time [there’s a jumper on the board to select one or the other option]. I think I prefer the Livid or Doepfer boards [it would be enough with just one board, not 3 or 4]. So I’m not sure [it’s my first time with diy midi controllers] if I could use these with the Ambika, since you need to send cc’s parameters in the whole range [osc settings are 14 to 21, for example, but filter settings are 71, 74, etc.]
Or maybe it is possible to [easily] change the midi implementation and leave all cc’s in the 0-63 range. Would that be possible for somebody who knows nothing about programming?
I’m a little lost with this midi stuff, so I prefer the easiest solution, but I really don’t know which way to go. Any ideas?
Well, I have other projects going on [and two Ambika voicecards letft], so I think I’m going to wait a little Bad thing is I already ordered 50 10K pots…
well… normally I use the classical panel mount alpha 16mm for all my projects [modular stuff mostly], but this time I ordereded the same ones in Ambika for the midi controller project; not a big deal, but now I’m 50€ poorer, and I’m not sure when will I use that ones… I’m not sure what’s your plan, fcd72, but maybe I could use it anyway
