Comments on: Open Source Midi Controller http://www.djtechtools.com/2008/07/09/open-source-midi-controller/ A complete recource for digital dj's and performers that use digital technology including controllerism Thu, 20 Nov 2008 08:54:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Ean Golden http://www.djtechtools.com/2008/07/09/open-source-midi-controller/#comment-8726 Ean Golden Fri, 11 Jul 2008 02:39:40 +0000 http://www.djtechtools.com/?p=539#comment-8726 <blockquote>Personally I think that there is way to many controllers that looks like a mixer. Don't almost everyone use a "normal" mixer when you play out? </blockquote> thats what I have always said. A real mixer will beat out the digital one any day but most people seem to want an all in one device. having all of your controls centralized is also a big help.

Personally I think that there is way to many controllers that looks like a mixer. Don’t almost everyone use a “normal” mixer when you play out?

Don't almost everyone use a "normal" mixer when you play out? Please give me a killer controller just for the transport section and the effects and without a jog-wheel. Are for the moment using akai mpd-24 plus the keyboard for controlling traktor. I have a good layout, but it's way to easy to press the wrong buttons, especial after a couple of beers.

In saying that there is some level of advantage in having something with flashy lights to dj on, especially at smaller parties,Im sure anyone who has played out with a vci can testify to the questions and interest it generates even from those with no interest in DJing. I think the most interesting that will come out of this project is when people take the PCB and wire that to their own personalised faceplate / layout / controls all in a robust enclosure which isnt begging for a liquid death. Dont take this as a negative response though, I like pretty toys & Im sure we will see some exiting developments from these guys in the future.

It could essentially create a service where people interested in controllerism can get into a custom controller fitting there exact artistic needs. I for one do not have the technical expertise (yet) to truly make my own controller, so I have been planning to buy a bunch of different pieces to create one system that will give me the control I need. While I may still need to get a few bells and whistles, I feel like this could help streamline the over all core of my system. I am VARY exited.

Really looking forward to getting a kit for this one. Give us the source code, point out the programming header on the motherboard and away we go!
