Hi community,
this is my first post.

If you check at leobodnar forum you will found my works to do more useful before versions (which are more cheap).

Also could check Controllerism.com, sparkfun and Machinecollective forums to enjoy a Biggest comunmunity involving little communities.

Please search my post around internet… you will found a lot of info about this an other DIY projects.

For the video tuto a big THANKS men, my electronic skills are truly bad…

;)

this can be done with a arduino usb board, and you can add easily six faders and use like twelve buttons too

oh, and direct usb cable output

is it possible to use a on/off switch as a midi control with the BU0836X?

“In the end I could not possibly recommend going that route and instead fell back on plan B- HID.”
do the midi controls function? ,or do i have to control traktor or whatever with the Hid-commands?
greetings

I too want buttons and knobs and for little or no money down. The above device allows 6 analogue inputs (knobs/sliders/etc etc) and 24 (i think) buttons, and is recognised on win/mac/linux as an HID joystick.

I’m still making mine (adding more buttons/knobs/enclosure), but have built the guts and seen it working on all platforms.

The other exciting possibility is hooking up old ball-mouse rotary encoders to some of button inputs, so as to have rotary (endless) knobs as well, great for pitch nudging and softsynth tweaking.

Anyway the ATMega16 microcontroller can be persuaded to do USB-HID and is very cheap compared to the prebuilt solutions.
(note this was my first electronics project)
