Hello everybody!
I have a Bassboy that is only controllable via midi CC.
That is not so very fun so i want to get some pots and switches to increase the tweakability.
The brains behind the bassboy has constructed a controller named Ten-O-pots but its not yet for sale.
Could you guys suggest any product that could do the stuff the Ten-O-pots do?
Of coarse i want it to send all the inspired tweaking CC stuff to my DAW.
What to do?
MidiBox, but it’s not exactly newbie-friendly. You have to read-up before people there warm up and can answer your questions. The right way to do it would be to read, design something like a core, and AIN (for pots) or a DIN or directly connected encoders to the Core_LPC and then start modifying the correct app. The ask someone to take a look-see.
Thanks for suggestions.
The midibox is probably too big project for the ten pots and two buttons.
The prebuilt i the way to go i think…
Something retarded monkey proof is good enough for me.
too big? it’s maybe 25€ plus a display plus the pots and buttons.
ah and psu and a little case. actually just 3 little boards if you don’t need LEDs. maybe you can even waive the analog in, don’t remember how many pots are used in the bassboy
yes it’s basically the Core V3 you need plus a PIC18F452
one DINx module for the tactile switches and probably one AINx module for the analog ins (if there are more pots in the bassboy than the Core board by itself can handle, maybe it’s 2 or 3 more, idk right now)
a normal LCD can be used, but is not necessary (good for troubleshooting still)
and you can adapt firmware and everything to exactly what you need.
regarding the USB you can make your own GM5 USB-MIDI interface. don’t know if there are pcb runs going atm, but it’s so small that you could make it on perfboard (and a little adapter board for the Atmel chip)
edit edit edit edit:
schrab’s solution looks very simple too. i mean the bassboy is after all so small and cheap, and this one looks as if you can hack it together in an hour on perfboard
oh thanks Lindeborg, i wasn’t aware of another run going on. i need to monitor the forums more oldschool again
edit: hahaha i’m already on the list. must have been a while so i couldn’t even remember
as far as i know, there are a few kits left - url in the page above. teensy based dual led push button encoders. each knob press selects a different bank of 8 cc knobs - 64 ccs.
rosch Yeah I know, defining slow. That's why I thought some advertisment here wouldn't harm.oootini How much did the kit and material cost for the “Eight”?
